I found my GGGG Grandparents: Santa Maria y Miranda!!!

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

Today I found the parents of my GGG grandparents: Felipe Santa Maria y 
Benita Miranda in Tepetongo, Zacatecas.
Felipe's parents were: Jose Salome Santa Maria y Maria Francisca Ortiz

Benita's parents were: Gabriel de Miranda y Maria Nicolasa Miranda

Well this last couple brings up a good point: Matrimonio Dispensas

If this couple were possibly related and needed special permission to 
get married it is possible for up to 4 generations of their genealogy to 
be waiting in a "Matrimonio Dispensa" So since this is in the late 
1700's when this couple got married its possible with one record to 
maybe get shotputted right back into the 1600's
So if you see any same surname marriages in your genealogy think of a 
possible blessing waiting to be revealed to your genealogy.
Kitty. . . Do you have any comments on this?
