Oh, Angie, Victor,
I guess the priest my father talked to was correct. The records for
1903 when my father was born were burned during the Revolucion. The films
skip from 1902 to 1906. I want to cry.

Thaks, Angie ---- I guess I never looked at the whole list for Jerez and
only saw the Bautismos on the top.

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? > >
My father at one time (in the early 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. > > Does
anyone know about books for "hijos naturales", etc? > > Emilie
