Abram,
Geneology takes a lot of time and a lot of patience. It also takes dedication to this very tedious lifetime journey. In the process you learn where your ancestors have been. Don’t get so focused on just one Rancho like la Jabonera. It could encompass many other ranchos, haciendas and localities in surrounding areas. You go where the evidence leads you and you will find that it’ not always correct. Enjoy the journey and the contact with your ancestors and be prepared for the long road ahead of you!

Yea your right but its so difficult iv’e been doing research for about 2 to 3 weeks on these individuals Margarito Armas and Macedonia Jauregui and nothing so many people with that name in the rancho La Jabonera they where born in Zacatecas.And when im trying to look for their census record or marriage record ect they never appear Their names appear correctly but the place shows incorrectly and the info.But im still not giving up yet.Wow that is very interesting can’t wait to find out what part of europe my family originally came from how exciting, but that is going to take hard and long work of researching like you mentioned.
Abram, like Alicia I have found many people on Familysearch and Ancestry but the majority have been from reading a record page by page and investing the time and patience it takes to reclaim our ancestors and families. I had no intention of working on anything but my direct lines but found there were so many families marrying into the same families I expanded my records. I’ve been working on them for almost 20 years now with Family in Zacatecas, Jalisco and Michoacan for the most part. By working together I was able to help Daniel take our Mendez line back even further and he took it all the way to Spain. In working together I’ve been helped and helped others make advances by opening our minds to surnames that made no sense at the time or women who used 3 or 4 surnames and I had them as 3 or 4 different lines. I’m still learning..
My files are on Rootsweb.com because that is a free site and Ancestry charges people to search records even though they are the same company. My file is called Mexico and I have more than 80 thousand people who are my lines or families that married into them. I will be updating and making corrections again within the next week.
I know it’s hard to be patient but there is NOTHING like that break-through record that you found yourself that is the key to your family history.
good luck in your continued search for your ancestors.. they are waiting for you
