In reading the microfilms of marriage records for Nochistlán, Zacatecas,
I was disappointed to find that there are no parents identified for the bride
and groom for the first third of the 18th century (till about 1733) nor for
much of the year 1752.
Since they had to prove their
relationship was distant enough, I'm assuming that information was recorded
elsewhere. Can someone suggest where I should
look.
This sounds like the couple needed a dispensation to marry. This
stuff is right up my alley, so to speak. I am rather familiar with
marriage dispensations, where both the bride and the groom were related to one
another.
If indeed there was a dispensa, then it will be archived in the Sagrada
Mitra de Guadalajara, and all of them have been microfilmed, but none extracted
into the IGI. These are part of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara
microfilms. I have already ordered and researched in about 50 of them,
ranging from 1799 to 1829, but not every single year researched. That is
my initial goal, to check out every single microfilm, because you never what you
can find in these veritable gold mines of genealogical data.
Deena, I want to help you, but you have to let me know the specifics of the
Nochistlan marriage. Who were the contrayentes? What date was
it?
Regards,
Steven H.
