Hi Paul,
There is an interesting story behind this place. In colonial times the jurisdiction was called Santa Maria de Mecatabasco which
was also the name for the parish. With the reforms of Benito Juarez the municipio was named Tabasco and the parish still
was named S. Maria de Mecatabasco. For some reason Villa del Refugio was also attached to this place. Have not found
this one yet. But all the records will be under Tabasco, Zacatecas. There was rapid movemento in this area which I call
the long lost zone. People from all over would travel to Tabasco it must have been an important site as far as I have studied.
People from Nochistlan, Juchipila, Tlatenango, Villanueva, Zacatecas, Colotlan, Calvillo, Aguascalientes, Jalpa and Teocaltiche
would travel to Tabasco for whatever reasons. I have many lines going in-and-out of this area. The church records start
1747 so I would assume everyone stayed in their parish.
What do you have on your Ibarra and Salas, we might share lines in this area.

IN THE DIGITIZED FILMS, YOU NEED TO GO TO MEXICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH RECORDS, THEN ZACATECAS, THEN TABASCO.
Just found the baptism record of my GGG-Great Grandmother, María Teresa de Jesús Fernández de Palos Castañeda, in this file. Thanks so much.
Congratulations. It is always ALWAYS so wonderful to find a new relative. Just imagine for maybe over a hundred years this relatives name was forgotten to the family and along comes you to discover it for your whole family to know. You did a great thing for your family today.
