Here’s how it works:
Find you local LDS church and ask them where you closest Family History
Center is. [Note: you can find the same info at
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp this is the
site that Deena just gave in the email you were responding too]
Once you have found the closest Family History Center give them a call
and go pay a visit [don’t worry they won’t try to convert you to
Mormonism and the general public is more than welcome even encouraged to
use the facilities]
Ask them how to use the Family History Catalog to find films for your
specific location in Mexico. Once you have identified an interesting
film just dive in and order it. It will cost about $5.50 for the first
30 days rental and will have to be viewed only at the Family History
Center as they don’t let you take them out of the building.
When the film comes, in about 3-4 weeks, they will call you. At that
point Drop Everything and safely rush to the Family History Center and
start the new adventure of finding your relatives. Ask them how to
thread the film and view it. After they show you the basics they have
met their responsibility and you will be on your own to do your own
research. Of course if you find something they will help you learn how
to make copies and if you forget how to thread the film or order I’m
sure they will help you a couple of times until you get the hang of it.
Don’t delay or what might happen is that the work of finding your family
tree might be left to some future generation. Start today!

Yolanda,
I have an ancestor by the name of Jose Rosalio Jauregui, Olmos but he was married to Catarina Olasaba. I have many records copied for Jose Rosalio and Pomposa thinking that Pomposa may have been Rosalio’s first wife. I don’t have any information yet to corroborate this. Tomorrow I will be at my local FHC and I will check this marriage record to see if it says anything about a previous marriage or see who his parents were. Some years the marriage records have much information and other years they are missing the parents names or are devoid of additional information.
My Jose Rosalio was the son of Jose Hilario de Jauregui Rovalcaba and Maria Encarnacion de Olmos Gomes. Who knows, we may have a common ancestor with Jose, Rosalio. Looking forward to further communication with you. Hilario de Jauregui Rovalcaba was my GGGGrandfather.
Have you gone onto to the www.familysearch.org website yet? If not, that is your next step and once you start there you are into an amazing genealogical journey.

Hi Yolie,
I read your message on Nuestros Ranchos. I found the marriage
record of your great-grandfather in the IGI database (International
Genealogical Index) of www.familysearch.org. I have access to the film it
references so I’ll look up the record for you and let you know what I find.
The IGI extract notes that Rosalio and Pomposa were married 3 May
1871 in Nochistlan, Zacatecas, Mexico. A microfilmed copy of the record can
be found on Film # 0226733.

Yoli,
My Grandmother Maria Rauno was also born 1890 at La
Estancia Zacatecas. Her parents were C.Canuto Rauno.
Her Mother I believe was Maria Ulloa.
I found on the IGI these two siblings of your grandmother, Maria Ruano Ulloa. Now all you have to do is go to your local or closest family history center and order matrimonial film # 0226675 for Nochistlan, Zacatecas. See below. and if I take the time to really scan the IGI, I may find more information but here is your opportunity to try it for yourself and feel the thrill of finding your ancestors.
How do you find your local family history center you ask? go to www.familysearch.org, there are 4 tabs on the top of the page titled; HOME SEARCH SHARE LIBRARY, click on library.
On this page you will see just below those 4 tabs where it says; FAMILY HISTORY CENTERS, click on that.
Proceed to fill out the form titled, FIND A FAMILY HISTORY CENTER NEAR YOU. Once you have filled this out it will provide you with your nearest center and the days and hours it’s open the address and phone number. You go in and fill out a form requesting your specific films from Salt Lake City, Utah. Depending on your center, the cost to order each roll of film will be $5.50 to $5.75. Also depending on your center it can take from a week to a month to receive the film. You have 4 weeks to view this roll and after 4 weeks you decide if you want to renew it or not. The records on each roll of film are for the most part chronological in order.
There are several ways you can record data from these rolls of film. You can make a photocopy of the document and at my center the cost is .25 cents per copy, It might be different at other centers. You can also use your digital camera to photograph your records and then edit and download to disk or print a copy of each record found. You can also record your data by filling out a form with all the pertinent information. Nuestros Ranchos has forms thanks to one of our very experienced members Kitty Cortez with blank spaces for all the pertinent information. See the forms section of the Nuestros Ranchos website.
Next you have to decide what software you will use to record your data so that you can eventually share it with others. You can download the free PAF software from www.familysearch.org or you can search out other genealogy software. Other people in this group are better qualified than me to make recommendations about software.
Buena Suerte,
Alicia Avelar Olmos de Carrillo

I am interested in La Estancia to which reference has been made in these
e-mails.
My grandfather Jose Pedro Rodriguez was born in La Estancia in 1883
according to his birth record and my grandmother, Maria Ulloa, his wife, was
born in 1888 in, we believe, Nochistlan although I wouldn’t rule out any
other place. They had at least 16 common ancestors and had many ancestors
listed in Jose Luis Vasquez y Rodriguez de Frias’ book.
My mother, their daughter, was told her father’s birth place was La Estancia
and it wasn’t until I read Clotilde Quiralte’s book that I found out there
were La Estancias de los etc. This is not much information, no doubt, but
how can I find the complete name of La Estancia, at least the one where my
grandfather was born.

Alicia,
this is a question that comes up time and again so I’ve put the main
explanation part of this email into a word document and uploaded it into
the files–>reference material area of the group. Later if you want to
add anything to it we can work on it. thanks again.

Charles,
Are you related to Maria Hilaria Andrade, bapt 15 Jan 1875 Nochistlan, (married to Jose Fernando Perez) if so then you and my husband are related.
Maria Hilaria is my husband’s maternal grandmother. Their daughter, Maria Refugio Perez b. 4 July 1903 Rancho Jabonera, Nochistlan married Florentino Corbera on 28 April 1924 in Dinuba, Tulare Co. California.

Charles,
You may have this info already, but if not in the Cubas’ publication at this site address http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm. click on the letter “E” in the alpha listing, then type in Estancia. There’s info for Estancia, (La), plus others that may help to answer your question..
