Today I broke through my last brick wall. . .in fact I didn't break through it I pulverized it into non existence. I started off by not knowing my maternal grandmothers real name to finding it by a collection or oral history and the brief mention of a surname on my mom's death certificate. Then about a couple of months ago I made contact with some that told me that they were related to this grandmother and that she came from Huejucar. Well today I confirmed that my grandmother, Antonia Lopez was born 17 Jan 1892 in Atotonilco, Jalisco a Rancho not far from Huejucar. Her parents are Francisco Lopez and Rosalia Garcia. Her Abuelos paternos are Nicolas Lopez and Alvina Perez and Abuelos maternos are Florentino Garcia and Toribia Renteria. My grandmother Antonia Lopez had at least two brothers: one named Nicolas and another named Antonio Lopez who later married Demetria Jacobo and had at least one child named Crecencio Lopez who married Josefina Cerujo.  Nicolas Lopez when on to marry and have one child named Francisca Lopez who married a Rogaciano Raigoza.

What is interesting is that oral history told me she was from Atotonilco but I didn't know there was 3 Atotonilco's in Jalisco (who knows but maybe there are more). I had always though that I would have to get records from two Atotonilco's in Southern Jalisco and just start having to hunt around for a misc. Antonia Lopez and hope to be able to detect if it was my Antonia Lopez. Having found an Atotonilco close to Huejucar has been great.

oh by the way I found the marriage record for Florentino Garcia and Toribia Renteria. And there parents are: Agapito Nestor Garcia and Maria Antonia Lopez AND Antonio Renteria and Antonia Montes.

cool huh?
