Not sure if this has been posted before, but I recently stumbled upon a book titled "No queda huella ni memoria?: semblanza iconográfica de una familia" by Aurelio de los Reyes. The book appears to be out of print and I'm not sure if it can be purchased, but large portions of the book can be viewed through Google Books. Starting around page 171 the author posts an extensive collection of family photos - some dating as far back as 1864. It's a pretty awesome collection and if you have ancestors from Pinos or the surrounding areas you may want to check it out.

Here is a link to the book. https://books.google.com/books/about/No_queda_huella_ni_memoria.html?id…

Click on any of the selected pages being displayed and scroll to page 171

Wow really interesting! I have a lot of Garcias from Zacatecas on both my mom and dads side. I wish I could find a book specifically about Sombrerete.

Thanks for sharing this with the group Raúl.

My maternal grandmother was Carolina García-Rojas y Camino, her direct paternal line are nephews to the governor of Aguascalientes Pedro García de Rojas. The book is definitely an interesting read. As you denoted, the book contains many photographs, signatures, maps, etc. It even contains coat of arms of the López de Nava, González de Hermosillo and García de Rojas families.
