Hi Rolando,

I believe Rio Chico was a rancho near Teocaltiche. I have a few lines in my
tree that are from Rio Chico, Teocaltiche, specifically the Acosta Ornelas
and Gonzalez Chavez families.

A good resource about Teocaltiche is Nicolas de Anda Sanchez book “Historia
de Teocaltiche Pueblo de La Region Caxcana Nueva Galicia-Zona de Los Altos
de Jalisco”.

I saw a post online that mentions that this book lists Rio Chico as a
rancho. I’d like to confirm this as I looked for the location Rio Chico
myself.

Rio Chico was both an hacienda and rancho in Teocaltiche…

See Cubas’ Diccionario biografico…

Thank you Juan. I am glad that I asked. I am going to search for the book on Teocaltiche and see if I can locate one. I have drawn a wall on my search for Romos there and perhaps the book will assist me. There are supposed to be Romos all over this region.

If I find anything on Rio Chico, I will report back. Gracias! Rolando
