Hey everybody,

Recently I have been trying to do research on the side of my family that isn't originally from the Totatiche/Temastian/Villa Guerrero area. They all come from Bolaños, Jalisco. Specifically, I've been trying to trace down my mother's Guzman branch.

Her grandfather was named Benito Guzman, born 1916 16 Jan in Bolaños, Jalisco and died 2007 23 Jun he married Aurea Ramos born in 1920, daughter of Porfirio Ramos 1895 and Mercedes Perez 1899.

Benito's father was also named Benito Guzman, and was born around 1880 and his mother was named Agapita Quintero and was born around 1887.

Other than this, I know that Benito Guzman Sr's father was named Gerardo Guzman. I had asked my grandfather and his brother if they knew the name of the mother or any other relatives but they blanked. I did find this though and my mom's uncle said the name sounded really familiar (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N811-QQR)

If it would be helpful I can provide the names and birth dates of Benito's siblings.

Hi Mggonzal,

Take a look at this film:

Hey everybody,

Recently I have been trying to do research on the side of my family that
isn't originally from the Totatiche/Temastian/Villa Guerrero area. They all
come from Bolaños, Jalisco. Specifically, I've been trying to trace down my
mother's Guzman branch.

Her grandfather was named Benito Guzman, born 1916 16 Jan in Bolaños,
Jalisco and died 2007 23 Jun he married Aurea Ramos born in 1920, daughter
of Porfirio Ramos 1895 and Mercedes Perez 1899.

Benito's father was also named Benito Guzman, and was born around 1880 and
his mother was named Agapita Quintero and was born around 1887.

Other than this, I know that Benito Guzman Sr's father was named Gerardo
Guzman. I had asked my grandfather and his brother if they knew the name of
the mother or any other relatives but they blanked. I did find this though
and my mom's uncle said the name sounded really familiar
(https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N811-QQR)

If it would be helpful I can provide the names and birth dates of Benito's
siblings.

Just showed it to my grandfather and he said the name Maria De Refugio was his great grandmother. So it looks like a match!

Thanks a bunch for that information, it helped a great deal.

I had no idea they were from Chimaltitan but you have broadened my area of research.
