Thanks, Victor -- As usual you came to the rescue. I guess
before I didn't scroll down far enough when I was looking for films in Jerez, or
I just took the film numbers off the IGI.

Yesterday I was at the local FHC again poring over the microfilm
for
baptisms from Jerez around the time my father Guadalupe Olague
was
born (January 28, 1903). I have never been able to locate my
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?

1960's) needed a birth record
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.
