Rivera and Martin Del Campo Surnames


By Corrine Ardoin - Posted on 28 January 2008

Hi,

Someone recently joined who is researching surnames I am also researching.
Their message was in Spanish, so I hope they get the gist of this message.

I wanted to reply to them that I am also researching the Rivera and Martin
del Campo surnames in Jalisco. I have lots of records from births,
baptisms, marriages, etc. from Guadalajara, primarily for the 1800's. My
file title on this site, Nuestros Ranchos, does not mention the surname
Rivera, but if you look under my name, Corrine Ardoin, you will find a
family tree that contains these ancestors. My mother's great-grandmother
was Rita Robles Rivera, born about 1851 in Guadalajara. Rita's parent's
were Emigdio Robles and Manuela Rivera. They were married February 5,
1843. Manuela's parents were Alejo Rivera and Dolores Mora. They resided in
Guadalajara and attended the Sanctuario de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
Church. Manuela lived to be over 100 and died in the early 1900's. Rita
died in 1935.

This has brought up something else. I have so much "might be related" data
accumulated. Is there some way to make this available to other members? I
get a microfilm, record every entry that has the surname I am researching,
then it just sits in a folder. I would like to be able to share the data
with others, so perhaps they might find info there they could use. Such as
the surname Rivera. I have a lot of records with that surname, because it
is of my ancestors. But all of these records contain many, many other
surnames. How can I make this available to other members? I asked the
family history center where I live about getting all of this on the IGI, but
they said it is done only by church members who have submitted their family
trees. How do the rest of us make our research available where it does not
coincide with our own family trees, but may be useful to others?
