Historical information for southeast Laguna Chapala region, Jalisco


By jesRoderico - Posted on 23 September 2013

Does anyone know what books cover the colonial history of the municipalities of Jalisco that are near the southeast shoreline of Laguna Chapala? The municipalities that are of greatest interest to me are Mazamitla, Quitupan, and Valle de Juarez, Jalisco. Those municipalities are close to Sahuayo, and Cotija, Michoacan. My historical research of the area has come up dry. Not much more could be said for my genealogical research of the area, either. I also want to know what clans settled in those three Jalisco municipalities and how Valle de Juarez came to be. I have already read the Wikipedia article, but the level of detail was cursory at best. The links on the article were outdated.

If anyone knows of any resource that describes this area in detail, I would much appreciate it. Thanks!
