Luevano family in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico


By PatrickCardona - Posted on 06 January 2018

I am trying to trace my roots on my grandfather's side of the family
to my ancestors in Spain. My grandfather's name was Jose' Soccoro Luevano. He was born about 1892 in what I believe was Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico. Family stories have it that he was the seventh born child of Tiburcio Luevano and Manuela Martinez. It is also storied that, by tradition, the seventh born child was given to the church.

I have a document that Tiburcio Luevano and Manuela Martinez were married in the Catholic Church, La Santisima Trinidad in Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico on May 27, 1874. The document also states that the grooms parents were Pablo Luevano and Manuela Serna. The brides parents were Timoteo Martinez and Fermina Rubalcava.

Jose' Luevano's children have passed information on that Jose' was given to a church near Aguascalientes, Mexico where he was educated by the church and received priesthood training. He left the church just before his priesthood training was complete and immigrated to the United States around the turn of the century, early 1900s.

I have reason to believe, but not verified, that my grandfather, Jose' Luevano was given to the Catholic Church, La Santisima Trinidad, Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico, which was probably the Luevano family church.

I have retrieved the contact information of the church, and have tried to contact them by telephone, email, and text, but have received no response.

The contact information I have for the church is Parroquia de la Santisima Trinidad, 5 de Mayo, Centro, 47250 Villa Hidalgo, Jal., Mexico, Phone: +52 495 968 0901.

I would appreciate any hints on how to proceed with my search.
