Hey Victor,

The books you mention are actually the ones I have.  Sorry, I didn't 
know the names but I recognize them.

The three books I currently have are:
- Los Valdes de Totatiche
     {I descend from the Valdes family, Joseph Leandro Valdez Lopez 
and Maria Josepha Grano Covarrubias}
- Estirpe Sacerdotal Campos-Jara
     {I descend from the Campos family, Pedro Leon Gaeta Sierra and 
Maria de la Luz Campos Huerta.}
- El Sacerdocio Ministerial - Singular Don a la Parroquia de Totatiche
     {I descend from the Grano family, through the same line from 
above Joseph Leandro Valdez Lopez and Maria Josepha Grano Covarrubias}

The areas I am researching are:
Totatiche and Colotlan in Jalisco
Momax, Tlaltenango, Atolinga, Tepechitlan in Zacatecas

Some of the surnames I am researching are:
Cardenas, Carreon (Carrion), Gaeta, Godina, Huerta, Huizar, Luna, 
Miramontes, Perez, Raigosa (Raygoza), Avila, Campos, Castaneda, Correa
(s), Covarrubias, Grano, Lopez, Marques (Marques De Los Olivos), 
Pinedo, Robles, Romero, Rosales, Sanchez, Sandoval, Serrano, Sierra, 
Valdez, Valenzuela 

Take a look in the file section for details.
