Hi Josie,

 

I'am not that familiar with Fresnillo, because my research so far is in Jerez, but I have one sugestion, at family history center under zacatecas you can find all the ranchos that are part of the municipality of fresnillo or the ranchos for Troncoso, I was once in Troncoso it is a very small comunity, the new name for Fresnillo is Fresnillo de Gonzales Echevarria.

 

Good luck, Anna Arellano Smith
