Hi,
I am having trouble following who is whose parent, grandparent, and great grandparent.
I got so far that Bernardino Mexia and Maria de Luna are Phelipe's parents.
But I can't figure out how Melchor de Moscoso y Sandoval, Mariana de Moscoso de Sandoval, and Magdalena de Islas are related.

Guadalajara-> Guadalajara Diocesis-> matrimonios 1724 to 1725-> images 454 to 458 out of 622.

The page you linked says:

Juan Sandoval was the father of the "pretensa", son of Melchor de Moscoso y Sandoval. Melchor is the legitimate brother of Mariana de Moscoso y Sandoval who has as a daughter Magdalena de Isalas and Magdalena de Islas had as a son Bernardino de Mejia, and Bernardino de Mejia had as a son Felipe de Mejia

Thank you,

I wasn't sure I was reading it right before since the chain started with the bride's surname (Sandoval) and ended with the groom's surname (Mexia).

Rosa Maria Sandoval married the great grandson (Phelipe Mexia) of her grandfather's (Melchor de Moscoso de Sandoval) sister (Mariana de Moscoso y Sandoval).
