Re: [ranchos] Marriage Records of Nochistlan


 
Steven can you fill us in on why some of those films cover overlapping years. . .I'm late for work now otherwise I'd copy and print some examples but I've noticed some are something like:

1830-1899 [xxxxxxx]
1799-1856 [xxxxxxx]
1845-1900 [xxxxxxx]

thus i f you are looking for a dispensation you would need to order all three films. has that been your experience that you just need to bite the bullet and order all 3 or is there a way to distinguish which films to order. I guess I'm wondering why were there these overlapps???

gracias Steven,

joseph

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?
