Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia

[Linda R Romero <romero89@...>]

Will you please check for my family names from Jalisco??  They are  
Romero and de la Torre from the Guadalajara and Tepatitlan areas of  
Jalisco.  I'm not sure if they started there or moved there from  
other areas. They were there at least from the mid to late 1800's.
Thank you for your help.

  The books cover the first Spanish settlers of Los Altos de Jalisco.
Some families do extend to other states, so you might find some of
your ancestry covered in one of the chapters.  I have a copy of Tomo
I which contains a "Plan general de la obra" for all the subsequent
Tomos (II - VI) and has all the surnames covered.  If anyone wants me
to check for any surnames send me an e-mail.

Each chapter begins with the first settlers and then traces their
male descendancy. Sources are cited for every bit of data.
