I am looking for specific family members in the 1930 Mexico Census for Guadalajarita, Zacatecas. However, after looking over all of the available images, I am not finding them.
I am looking for specific family members in the 1930 Mexico Census for Guadalajarita, Zacatecas. However, after looking over all of the available images, I am not finding them. This entire village consists predominantly of Reynoso and Rodriguez, however I am unable to locate very many.
I have been told that at the time the census was taken, the river that runs through the village was used as a divisor and there for those that lived on the opposite side (closer to Moyahua) were counted under the name of another village.
Does anyone know if there are more images that need to be uploaded? (currently there are 5) Secondly, does anyone happen to know what other village is adjacent to Guadalajarita (either past or present) that would fall between this village and Moyahua? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Esther, from my recollections, at the other side of the river from Guadalajarita is La Cantera. Which are only a few houses, not sure if it qualified as a village…
Jose,
Have you been able to locate any of your Reynoso’s in this Census? If so, under which municipality – Juchipila or Moyahua?
I looked into La Cantera, but did not see any of the individuals I was looking for. I also looked at La Cantera Sur (just in case).
Thanks!

Esther,
I must be doing something wrong, I’m not finding anything. The only place that shows up is Apozol, Zacatecas. What link are you using?
Thanks,

Esther,
I’ve found the right link and have found many of my relatives in San Jose de la Boquilla. The census was taken in May 1930, prior to the rainy season. That’s when the crops were being planted just waiting for the rains to come. I know my grandfather Melesio Reynoso lived in Guadalajarita most of the year, but owned and worked the land in San Jose de la Boquilla. Thus, I found him and his whole family in San Jose de la Boquilla. By the way, that is where I was born (June), my father was working some of the land my grandfather owned in San Jose de la Boquilla.
Thanks,

Yes, that would make sense…….Do you know the region fairly well? Do any other names come to mind?
I did find Secundino Reynoso married to Aniceta Mejia. Secundino was my grandfather’s 1/2 brother. That would explain why he is here, but my grandfather and the other siblings are not.
Thank you!

Esther,
I did find your relatives and mine in “El Atravesano” in the Moyahua municipality, first image. Juan, Felix, Melecio, and Mercedes Reynoso with their spouses are listed.

Jose,
Thank you for taking the initiative to go through each of the records. I was going to look into Pena Blanca, El Pitayo, and La Lobera. These all sounded familiar to me. If that didn’t work, I was going to start going through each one (I will probably still do this once I get my computer fixed – it’s running very slow).
When I shared with my father where I had found him and his family, he stated that he had never even heard of this rancho! He thought for sure that they would show up in La Boquilla since he remembers that his father and grandfather always mentioned the “sembradillos” in conversations that included your grandfather Melecio and grandmother Lucia.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
