Jalisco: Las Cajas, Tlacuitapa, San Antonio de la Garza, Lagos de Moreno, Guadal

["smileysway2" <smileysway2@...>]

...I am just now starting to research my husbands side of the 
family.  The above towns are just a few of where they came from, and 
so this should be a new adventure for me.

My in-laws do not remember much about their ancestry, as they live in 
the USA now.  The surnames associated with this side of my family are:

SANCHEZ
FRANCO
ESPINOZA
FLORES

My husband was born in Las Cajas in 1968.  He has 12 siblings that 
were born in Las Cajas, Rancho San Antonio de La Garza, Tlacuitapa 
and Lagos de Moreno, respectively.

My father in law, Nicacio SANCHEZ ESPINOZA was born in Las Cajas. 
Nicacio' father, Manuel SANCHEZ passed away in 12/1996, in Tlacuitapa 
at his son, Paulino's house.  His wife, Maria ESPINOZA passed away, 
in 12/1991, at their home in Lagos de Moreno. Manuel & Maria had 9 
children; Nicacio, Paulino, Isidoro, Lino, Guadalupe, Maria Soledad, 
Juanita & Maria de La Luz.  Most of them live in and around 
Tlacuitapa & Rancho San Antonio de La Garza, with the exception of 
2.  Isidoro lives in Leon, Guanajuato and the other, Lino, they have 
no idea where he lives now. 

My mother in law, Juana FRANCO was born at (unk) ranch near Rancho 
Las Algadas. Her father, Fausto FRANCO passed away in 1969, at Rancho 
Las Algadas.  Her mother, Norberta FLORES was born in Jalisco, unk 
location but near the above mentioned ranchos and is alive today 
living in Guadalajara.  Fausto & Norberta had 6 children; Juana, 
Maria de Guadalupe, Refugio, Fausto Jr, Salvador & Martin.  Most of 
them live in Guadalajara at present.

I do not have any other info past my in-laws, except some of the 
spouses names.  I did live in Lagos de Moreno on a couple of 
occasions but was not doing research at that time (dumb me).  I know 
the parroquia was across the street from where they lived, and that 
my younger in-laws were all baptized there.  Now I need to find out 
its' name. I am hoping to learn how to trace this family so I can 
pass this info onto my children and my in-laws. I appreciate being 
allowed to post this info and look forward to learning from each of 
you.  If you have any pointers, PLEASE let me know.

Thank You,

Smiley Sanchez
