Re: [ranchos] Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos vs. Hijos Naturales de Jerez, Zac.


 
Muchisimas gracias, Jose,
 
Yes, someone else sent me that film number that I didn't know about because I had always searched for Jerez, not knowing that Jerez is now called Ciudad Garcia.

Hi Emilie:
 
Among the microfilms listed in the FHLC from Jerez, Zac. there are some entitled "bautismos de Hijos Naturales", but I don't saw any of the 1903 year. ¿Do you has had this microfilms? Another option is "Registro Civil" In these last records, there is 1903 year:
 
Nacimientos 1903-1904 FHL INTL Film
1081921
 
I think that is good idea see this microfilm, maybe, that records missing are that which repository was the parish, but for the information above, the records which repository is "Registro Civil" are not missing. The microfilm is found at "Ciudad García, Zac." as this is (Use for) Mexico, Zacatecas, Jerez de García Salinas
 
I hope this little contribution will be useful to you.
 
Success!
 
JRGL.

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?
 
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?
