Re: [ranchos] Need research advice

Hi Evie:

Did you check matrimonios and marriage informacion records?  Marriage informacion should give detailed information.  Hang in there, I'm in the same boat it gets hard when you are in the mid 1700's.  I  have also viewed baptism records when they give no last names for the child and it's frustrating.

 I am desperately in need of advice.  Juan Florencio Villegas was
born in Ameca, JAL and married to Pascuala Flores in 1759 in
Colotlan, JAL. He died there in 1801.  On the marriage document
his parents are listed as Bartolome de Villegas and Nicolasa
Rodrigues.  His death certificate lists only his wife's name and
no birthplace.  The only Juan birth possibility I could find in
Ameca  was a Juan Rodrigues born in Ameca to a Bartolome
with no last name, but the time period was too early (1696) and
the mother's first name is not the same.  I have the birth records
of 4 possible brothers and sisters who were born in Tlaltenango
De Sanchez Roman, ZAC.  Their births occurred between 1729
and 1734.  Several of them married in Colotlan near the time of
Juan's marriage.  However, the parents listed for these
possibilities are Bartolome Villegas and either Maria Nicolasa,
Juana Nicolasa or Nicolasa de la Cruz and not Nicolasa
Rodrigues.  Still hoping these are all members of Juan's family
but need help to determine this and find the birth record of either
Juan or Bartolome.  The padrino for Juan's marriage was Maria
Saldana and  Petra Saldana was the padrino for Juan's
daughter who was born in Colotlan in 1760.  I became frustrated
a couple of years ago and have just resumed the search. Can
anyone help me?  Thanks.  Evie
