Hello Roberta,
Welcome to the group. Speaking only for myself I'm a newcomer to Genealogy
just having opened my eyes to its wonders back in August of 2002. But since
then its been a wild and wooly ride and it continues to be. I've met your
primo Steve Hernandez on the phone a couple of months ago. It would be my
dream if he would consider joining this group and taking us all under his
wing in our journey's. He has a wealth of information and he'd be a great
addition to the groups expertise.
You are the first person in this small community that is doing research in
Tepatitlan (is that close to San Juan de Los Lagos--the area I seem to recall
Steve said he was researching)? Though I understand that we have some research
going on in the Lagos de Moreno area that is not far from San Juan de Los
Lagos.
I really don't know exactly where to find more info but if it were me doing
this search I might try to find info on those individuals that were on the
ships that came from Spain. I know the following website is possibly a little
early and possibly the wrong location (Cuba) but who knows if he came directly
to Mexico or stopped off in Cuba first. Anyway I'm giving this as only an
example of what's available on passenger manifest logs for ships from Spain:
http://www.cubagenweb.org/pass.htm
Also if you'd care to pursue this avenue of possible info you might find
out what is available from the AGI:
Archivo General de Indias Director: Pedro Gonzalez Avenida
de La Constitucion Sevilla, Spain Tel: 95/ 422 51 58 NOTE: This archive
is invaluable to early West Indies research, having over 14 million reports
on military and land discoveries from the New World (colonial Mexico) and
the surrounding areas.
Here is a website with some dated info and I'd love to find out what work
has been accomplished so far and if any of this info is available to be read
on film yet:

Roberta I hope you will consider staying on the group. I hope you will also
consider posting your genealogy in the "Files" section so we can all have
a look at the details. We're hoping that we might find somewhere that our
lines might cross afterall our ancestors basically came from the same geographical
area. Its not hard to believe that somewhere our families might have married
into or out of one another.

Dear Joseph:
Hi! my name is Roberta Romero and I live in Albuquerque,
NM.
The area where my great-grandfather/grandmother lived was
Tepatitlan, Jalisco.
I believe they were from Rancho Presa de Gomez. Let me know if you have
any information on this area. My ggfather/mother's names
are Epifanio Martin and
Maria Jesus Navarro. Epifanio
Martin is from the "Martin Del Campo" family.
We have traced that line
all the way to 1600 Spain.
Capitan Lazaro Martin Del Campo was from Revilla del Campo,
Spain.
I was lucky enough to find Steve Hernandez in California
who is my primo and he had
all the genealogy work completed. Lazaro Martin Del Campo
married Maria Lopez
De La Cruz in Guadalajara
in 1637. Let me know where I can find more information about him.
Thanks!
See number 0168809 --- that is where I found the page in the files area
of the Ranchos webpage. Lyman D. Platt wrote a book called Census Record
for Latin America and the Hispanic United States. He gives a run down
on what areas are covered in each film. Do an interlibrary loan for this
widely available book or let me know what towns you're looking for and
I'll look and see what films are covering that area. For Kitty and Rich
they might be interested in the census records for Huejucar--168819, 168828,
168833, 168836, 168838 or Lagos de Moreno 221883 or 221884
