father's birth record in it, even though I have found his father in 
Tepetongo (Rancho Salitrillo) and others there back to the early 
1700's. While I was loading the film yesterday, I noticed that the 
title of the book filmed was "Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos", and sure 
enough, I did not find one "hijo natural" or "hijo de padre no 
conocido" in it.  It seems all other films I have searched included 
all baptisms, hijos naturales, adoptivos, etc. even if they made 
reference to other books where the actual names of the parents were 
written.  So, hmmm, was Daddy illegitimate?  If so, is there a book 
for "hijos naturales" that was not microfilmed?  What would such a 
book be called?  Where would one obtain info from such a book, and 
would it take an act of congress to get it?

for work and for Social Security and we went from California to Jerez 
to the church there only to have the priest tell him that all records 
for that time period had been burned during the Revolucion.  Sometime 
later, my father must have contacted a lawyer there because after my 
mother died and I was going through all their records, I found an 
affadavit to prove his previously unrecorded birth.  As testigos and 
witnesses that my father was born in Jerez were listed some men 
(maybe they are deceased by now) that bore the surnames of his 
parent's and grandparent's lines (Munos, Soriano. Escobedo, Garcia).  
His mother was Gorgonia Garcia.  Where and how did this lawyer find 
them?  One place name mentioned was "La Gavia", but it is not one of 
the places mentioned in the film I have been looking at (0439867).  
In the list of Communidades (Rancherias) de Jerez that I have, La 
Gavia is mentioned as being founded by the Garcia-Cadena, Diaz, and 
Escobedo families at the end of the 16th century.  The list names 142 
communidades y rancherias for Jerez alone.  Some of my father's 
ancestors were Felix, and there is a community or rancho called Los 
Felix on the list.  That was founded by Jose and Doroteo Felix. The 
community of Tepetongo where my father's ancestors were from was 
called Salitrillo, and is not listed in the list for Jerez even 
though Tepetongo was in the Jurisdiccion de Jerez.
