Cristobal Araiza, and Araiza's in Etzatlan Jalisco


By mharaiza - Posted on 24 September 2018

Hello All,

I am trying to find out some information on Cristobal Araiza(b. 1639) in Aguascalientes.

He is the son of Juan Araiza Medina and Maria De Isla Lossano.

In another forum on this site, Cristobal is mentioned as being married to a Bernarda De Mendoza.

There is a marriage in Aguascalientes on October 27, 1675 of a Xtoval Araiza and a Bernarda De Aldavo. I am trying to figures out if this is the same Bernarda.

Is there a connect to the Aldavo and Mendoza lines?

Now to Eztatlan...

There is an Antonio Araiza (b.abt 1675) married to a Jesus Bentura, I believe Antonio may be a son of Cristobal. In a baptism of their son Juan, I see a Bernanda Mendoza as a godmother. This makes me think there is a connection to Cristobal Araiza.

Cristobal Araiza and Bernarda Mendoza are godparents in Etzatlan as early as 1689.

My last question, is has anyone come across information on a Pedro Araiza Medina?

He is married in Guadalajara in 1688 and I suspect there is a relation to Cristobal.

Thank You all for your help.
