Alvarado from Zacatecas

I just found my Magdaleno Alvarado in the new Pilot Site! He was born in Moyahua. I'd been looking in the microfilms of Jerez for years.

Dr. Gabriel Sanchez Spanish Studies

http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofLanguagesLiteraturesandPerformingArts/SubjectAreas/SpanishandPortugueseStudies/StaffDetails/DrGabrielSanchezEspinosa/

Please see link above. Again my husband's roots intermesh with my roots. I have a question that is probably better asked on this website as the author Dr. Gabriel Sanchez deals with Spanish history. Does anyone know about him? I am interested in his work on Felix O'Neill as Felix O'Neill is my maternal great great grandfather's name. On the link above is Dieciocho 23 2000 117-113. Does this refer to a book? If you read down he has many other works relating to Spain and New Spain, so thought I would share. Does anyone know how to purchase his works or any libraries that have his works besides the one in Belfast?

Research in San Luis Potosi

Greetings to all. I am learning quite a bit from these postings…general information such as the whys of dispensas and social classifications. Thanks to everyone.

My main area of research is Zacatecas, however, is there anyone doing research in San Luis Potosi who can offer suggestions. Names: Alvarado, Galvan, Rodriguez, Soto, Garcia, Ybarra, Lozano, Mireles. My trail ends with Calistro Alvarado born abt 1763, married to Geronima Mireles .

Luna & Magallanes in Moyahua De Estrada, Zacatecas

Hello all, just started looking a little further into my grandmother's (father's side) Luna line and have already run into a little snag. I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone recognizes something.

Racial discrepancy in baptism records

Yes, I have found such varying descriptions of race in baptisms in my research. One family had several children, and I was amazed that each child was listed with a race different from his parents. In this family I found "espanol", "yndio", "mestizo", and "mulato". A rainbow family.

Vicente Tiscareno and Maria de Torres

I got a few questions that stemmed for searching the line of Maria de la Luz Tiscareno (sorry, haven't figured out how to write the tilde~), born about 1750, daughter of Vicente Tiscareno and Maria de Torres, as they appear in her marriage to Guadalupe Gonzalez,El Sagrario, Aguascalientes 27 May 1767. They had several children, one of them Cesario (or Sesario) Gonzalez married twice. In his first marriage to Maria de los Santos Ramires, Cesario he is identified as 'Espanol'. However, his parents, Maria de la Luz and Guadalupe, are respectively identified as 'Coyota' and 'Mestizo' in their marriage record. Has anyone faced a similar issue on the 'racial' discrepancy between parents and children? I would have expected for Cesario to be Mestizo, unless he appeared 'Espanol' to the eyes of the priest. Is this common?
