Mendoza family from Paso De Quarenta and Matanzas, Jalisco, Mexico

Hello David,

Paso de Cuarenta (correct spelling is with a C) is in the jurisdiction of
Lagos de Moreno. Matanzas was once also part of the jurisdiction of Lagos
de Moreno.

The border crossing of Ruperto Mendoza shows that he was born in Lagos de
Moreno on 27 March 1897. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X2NH-YM7

The year is probably a mistake. I found a Ruperto Mendoza born in Lagos de
Moreno on 27 March 1887 and baptized on 30 March 1887.

I can't find any records on the paternal grandparents.

The maternal grandparents were Domingo Acosta and Vicenta Silva married 20
Jan 1858 in Lagos de Moreno.

Vicenta Silva was baptized 5 April 1841

The Mendoza that wrote that he was born in Tiunfo, Baja California might
not be related to you. It might be just another person with the same name
as your ancestor. You have to be careful about not confusing people that
happen to have the same name. What other info is on that border crossing?
