History. . .A Call For History

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

This is what I was talking about when I said we need to start digging 
into the History of our area of research. . .in the context of this 
group that area being the estados de Jalisco y Zacatecas. Recently 
Steven Hernandez send two magnificient emails to Irma Gomez Lucero 
giving wonderful historical background for the Los Altos area.
Earlier today I uploaded two Census Information scans from the area of 
present day Calvillo, Aguascalientes provided by Gloria Delgado. Then 
she sent me this email and it has just a few lines of Historical 
information which I'm sure shes going to add to later. Now if we all 
made it our goal to dig out one or two nuggets of the history of our 
particular area of research maybe something will somehow make sense to 
someone. . .in this email from Gloria she said something that might have 
interest to those of you studying the Villa de Refugio or Tabasco, 
Zacatecas area. Thanks again Gloria:
Hi Joseph,

Thank you, I'm glad you think it's a good contribution.  I've been doing 
research for a number of years but am not knowledgeable about computers, 
much less scanners, so appreciate any help.
I'm getting better at typing, and hope to make more contributions to the 
group as my broken arm heals.  There's a great map of this area that we 
got from UC Berkeley, will scan later and send it along.
Yes that's the area where my father's family came from, he was a 
CALVILLO, and some of my MARQUES, ESCOBAR and URSUA ancestors were born 
on the lands of the Hacienda San Jose de Cieneguilla and La Triana, both 
mentioned in the census.  I've slowly been going through all the 
postings and share surnames with many of the members, but so far no bingo!
Actually I wonder if Huejucar Jalisco may have gotten its name from 
settlers coming from the ancient Valle de Huejucar?
Valle de Huejucar [Huajucar, Guaxucar], in nahua means 'valle entre los 
sauces,' or 'valley among the willows.' This valley with the coming of 
the Spaniards was formed into part of Tabasco, Zacatecas, and was later 
incorporated into the much newer state of Aguascalientes.
Could you add one note to the census?  The Hacienda de La Labor was also 
known as the Hacienda de San Diego de La Labor.
Thanks for your help, and more later.
