Anastacia Velasquez


By Esther Jordan Lopez - Posted on 04 June 2009

Jonathan,  

You helped me once before and I am hoping you may be able to do so again.  I am having a
hard time finding my great, great grandmother, Anastacia Velasquez.  She was born in
Portezuelo, Jalisco (or some place in La Barca, Jalisco).  She married Rosendo Vaca, who
was killed before his daughter was born (my great, grandmother, Maria Guadalupe Vaca
Velasquez).  Rosendo's parents were Vicente Vaca and Dolores Ortiz (Vicente was married before and his first wife was Magdalena Oregel and had several children). Vicente and Dolores were married 23 March 1843 in La Barca, Jalisco.  Anastacia's parents were Refugio Velasquez and Maria Linares.  I guesstimate her birth around 1860.  I also don't have a birth record for Rosendo.  I got most of the information from my great, grandma Maria Guadalupe Vaca's birth record.  She was born 14 March 1881, Portezuelo, Jalisco.  Her padrinos were Blas Luna and Vitola Vaca.  I have a few more names further back but not confirmed nor do I have dates.

If you can guide me to were I should look or if you can help me out I would be most greatful.  Thank you very much.
