Romo from Aguascalientes to Northern Mexico


By Denise Fastrup - Posted on 27 April 2012

Hello

I am researching the link between the Romo family of San Buenaventura and Nadadores in northern Mexico, and the Romo de Vivar family of Aguascalientes.

I have found out that a man named Don Jose Raphael Romo and his son Manuel, both from Aguascalientes, came to Nadadores where Manual married Maria Ygnacia Rodriguez in 1816. Their children were born in Nadadores. However, one of their sons, Don Tomas Romo, married a woman named Maria Luciana Espinosa, and their children were born in San Buenaventura. One of their sons, Don Jesus Romo, married Dona Josefa Bustamante in San Juan Bautista in Lampazos de Naranjo. where most of their children were born, including my great grandmother Genoveva Romo, who as a teenager fled across the border to escape an arranged marriage. In San Antonio, she met and married a man from Italy, but her family from Mexico eventually also came to San Antonio.

The information about the title Don and Dona comes from the marriage records I have seen through Family Search (images of the pages from the marriage books), as did the note about where Jose Raphael and Manual came from.

I am currently reviewing the marriage records for Sagrario, Aguascalientes, late 1700s, trying to find the marriage record for Jose Raphael Romo and Maria Rafaela Agulilar, who is named as the mother of Manual in his record of marriage (she is desceased by that time, 1816). However, it is slow going, as I often get the message "Please try again later". I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHO THE PARENTS OF JOSE RAPHAEL ROMO WERE.

Therefore, if anyone had seen a reference to a Jose Raphael Romo from Aguascalientes, or a Maria Rafaela Aguilar from Aguascalientes, I would much appreciate a tip (cite the original source and internet link if possible). I have already exhausted the leads in the digitalized records in LDS, which is why the only way forward are the images of the original records, and this forum.

If there is anyone else who has a Romo ancestor from the above-mentioned villages/towns, I would be more than willing to post the genealogy I sent to the moderator of this site.
