Alguien tiene información de Ana María Castellanos, mujer de Anastasio Arias Maldonado, que debió nacer aprox. en 1720 en Tepatitlán u Ocotlán. Ellos tuvieron una hijo llamado Antonio Matías Arias Maldonado que casó con María Lugarda Gutiérrez Galindo.

I cannot answer for that claim of Alonso Perestorello since I have questioned it from the beginning. They seemed to get started on that route with the mistake that it is two last names written as Peres Torello. It may have orginated that way many years before but I doubt it. The Perstorello family name was originally Pallestrelli in Genoa.

I've heard of La Gutierrada, and wonder if it's the same one that was
held about 4 years ago in Jalos? I knew of a couple that attended. The
husband is also a descendant of Jose Sotero & Ma de Jesus Romo--they are

I am sorry for the confusion
Juan Manuel casillas and Juana Maria Valdivia are the parents of jose thomas casillas

jose antonio salgado and Ma de san Joseph de la paz are the parents of maria gertrudis Salgado

Alguien tiene información de Juan de León y Bernardina de Ornelas y Mendoza, padres de mi ancestro Felipe de León, quienes debieron nacer en Lagos de Moreno o Teocaltiche. Solo encuentro una hija suya aparte de mi ancestro Felipe en Teocaltiche bautizada en 1712.

Is this Villalpando family related to Thomas de Villalpando who married (1)
Maria de Vargas, 1677 and (2) Maria de Jaen (de Sotelo), 1690, in
Aguascalientes?

Hi everyone,

I hadn't checked the Roots TV site in a while, and noticed that they had added some new videos. Maybe they will be informative for some of you. This is the link:

Can the terms "viuda" (widow) and "soltera" (spinster, or single woman) be used interchanged? That is, could "soltera" describe a women who is actually a widow?

I have a 1739 death record from Aguascalientes for Josepha Rodrigues where "soltera" is used. Her parents are named, but there is no other information. I also have what may be her husband's (Salvador Ponse) death record from 1738, where it states that he is married to Josepha Rodrigues.

Perdoneme Rodolfo pero la etimologia de Don , NO es de las siglas De Origen Noble. De acuerdo al Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, viene de el Latin dominus (proprietario o señor). De acuerdo con la Enciclopedia Britanica, en la epoca romana se utilizaba dominus para el dueño de propriedad y esclavos. Fue de echo el emperador Diocleciano (284 to 305 DC) el primero en utilizarlo y sus sucesores fueron conocidos como dominate ( dominatus ).
