8) click on the top one and see the difference between the two sets of records. Seems that the bottom one's concentration was more on the Ranchos for the municipality.

9) but if you click on "View Related Places" you see "Mexico, Zacatecas" Click on this and then click on "View Related Places" again and you'll see the list I'm including [note: if you had originally put "Zacatecas" in the search window you would only have to click on "View Related Places" once].

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

Hi everyone, I've been looking for records at the Family History Center and
this keeps coming up.  I know there is a large city called Fresnillo, but on
the records I see, the place where my family is from during the 1860's is
called Fresnillo de Gonzalez Echeverria.  Is this the same place or is this
the name of the ranch.  On one record, a possible relative (Antonio
Gonsalez) was the parent of Pedro Gonsalez (my great grandfather) and he was
born on Rancho de los Gonsalez.  Does this sound familiar to anyone with
knowledge of the area?  I'm trying to pinpoint some locales, because I know
for sure from repeated stories that one of my great grandfathers worked at
La Hacienda Trancoso.  When I look at the Zacatecas maps, there seems to be
a couple of places that are near, like Fresnillo (the city), Tranc! oso (now a
town), and Villa Gonzales (but who knows if this was the later version of
Rancho de Gonsalez).  Any of your thoughts or knowledge in these areas would
be very appreciated and enlightening.  Josie
