Peggy:

There are a number of Tuxpans... There is actually another Tuxpan in 
Jalisco, which is in the south of the state and there is also a 
Tuxpan (perhaps the best known one) in Nayarit.

There are a great number of RAMOS in the Totatiche area... most I 
think descendant from one of the Tlaxcaltec families that came in 
1591 to Colotlan.  Mine is not from these lineages but rather from a 
name change that occured around 1785.

Maria Manuela Ramos married in Totatiche on 04/271768.  Although I 
can't find Maria Manuela's record of birth there, I have a record for 
her brother and sister: Joseph Alvino Ramos, born 03/12/1759 and 
Maria Martina Ramos, born 11/14/1756.

that her great-grandfather was from here, and she mentioned him being 
some sort "alcalde" or mayor and that t here was a statue of 
him...was there some sort of statue in Tuxpan of a man who's last 
name would be Padilla?  Or is that another Tuxpan?  I really haven't 
researched my husbands family yet, but I enjoy talking with my mother-
in-law, who is 79, in the hopes of starting my husbands tree.
