Susana:

I have a couple of lineages that go back to the Carlos de Godoy 
family in Jerez.  I have actually not been able to get further back 
than the fact that these two people (who are both my ancestors) were 
siblings born circa 1630? but I don't have their parents' names:

1. Antonio CARLOS DE GODOY 
2. Catalina CARLOS DE GODOY

I also have a lot of De La Torre lineages from Zacatecas, which you 
can search for in that same database.

in Mexico. In 1990, I moved to the United States following my 
husband's career and have lived in New York, Philadelphia, St Louis,

family history, I specialize in Mexico and Spain research from early 
1900's to the 1500's. I have successfully traced some family lines to 
the 1600s in diverse areas of Mexico including Queretaro, Zacatecas, 
and Mexico City. Other lines have led to research in the Basque, 
Catalonia, and Andalusia region of Spain as far back as the 1500's 
(Basque region).

make an annual trip to the main Library in Utah.

Tepetongo mainly) are: De la Torre (many lines), Carlos de Godoy, 
Salinas (Family of Don Francisco Garcia Salinas "Tatapacho"), 
Escobedo, Salas, Carrillo, Del Muro and Miranda.  My family left the 
area around 1820, so my reasearch in Zacatecas has been during the 
1600's and 1700's. During this period the majority of my data has 
been extracted from Church Dispensations from Guadalajara (Sagrada 
Mitra- Arzobispado de Nueva Galicia). I will be submitting some of 
these lines shortly.
