Hello.  Since I have only looked at one set of microfilms for death records, my experience is limited.  What I noticed about these records from Jalostotitlan, Jal. is that the following is included:

 

Place or where death ocurred ,   Place or location of Burial--in other words, which cemetery? ;

 

name of person, age ,  Date of death and burial,   Fecha de defuncion/entierro,

 

Parents, widow or widower of the deseased, Cause of death, and whether they received the last Christian rites or not.

 

Irma

Can someone who has looked at films of parrish books listing 
burials 
tell me how extensive the information listed in these books 
is?  Does 
it list parents, survivors of the deceased?  I have two 
particular 
issues... one where I cannot connect an ancestor (Marcos LEMUS m. 
Maria 
Barbara YBARRA) to any one of his potential parents (children of a 
Felipe LEMUS that was the grantee of the land where Marcos lived, his 
children were born, etc.).  I cannot find a marriage or birth record 
for him...

The other is that baptismal and marriage records for 
Jerez, Zacatecas 
seem to be missing for the crucial period at the end of the 
17th and 
beginning of the 18th century when many families moved from there 
to 
Totatiche, Jalisco... so I am hoping that death records will make the 
connection.
