San Gabriel Valley Families of Nueva Galicia


By Rose Hardy - Posted on 29 September 2007

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I have finally published my genealogical work on my father's family from Nueva Galicia.

The Gonzales, Calvillo, Ramos, Alva, Macias and Flores families immigrated to Azusa in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles, California in the early 1900’s. These families and their descendants came from various towns in Nueva Galicia which covers the span of nearly 600 years.

The towns involved include Aguascalientes, Asientos, Calvillo, and Rincon de Romos in Aguascalientes; Teocaltiche, Santa Maria de los Lagos (Lagos de Moreno), San Juan de los Lagos, Ojuelos, and Jalostotitlan in Jalisco; Nochistlan, Sierra de Pinos and Villa del Refugio (Tabasco) in Zacatecas.

There are 246 surnames and these families are listed alphabetically. Common surnames include Alva, Calvillo, Carrillo, Chavez, Delgado, Delgadillo, Fernandez de Palos, Flores, Gonzales, Lozano, Macias, Oliva, Perez, Ramos, Romo de Vivar, Rubalcava, Ruiz de Esparza, Santos, Saucedo, Texeda, Tiscareno and Ximenes just to name a few.

I would like to thank you, Arturo for giving me your input regarding this online publisher. This is my second book and the results are wonderful.
