Ojo de Agua and Catarina Jauregui Revisted


By Maureen Bejar - Posted on 19 April 2007

This is an answer to an old question I had about the origin of Catarina Jauregui, a search tip and some thank yous. I think I have found the answer to Ojo de Agua on the Marriage of Catarina Jauregui and Julian Alviso. Ojo de Agua was a rancho in the jurisdiction of Tepatitlan.

Please see link for this document

To Tomas Alejandro Villegras: Teodoro Gutierres and Petra Jauregui were the padrinos on this document.

For those researching Jauregui: Some additional name spellings I have found:

Jaure
deJaure
DeJauregui

Catarina's last name was Jaure in the index, yet the actual document had Jauregui. Some of her siblings in the LDS search have only Jaure as the last name.

I would also like to thank everyone for their help. Tomas and I believe it was Emilie let me know to check out the Jalostotitlan records. Tomas indicated that Petra, Catarina's sister was married in Jalos. and correct me if I am wrong but I believe it was Emilie that told me if I cannot find records in San Miguel, always try Jalostotitlan.

Another thank you to Rick Rodriguez who lead me to another brother of Catarina and Petra Jauregui in the Tepatitlan records, so now I think I can find Catarina's baptism also!

I love this group
