Juan de Jesus Sparks - Christened 18 Jun 1903 at Senor del Encino, Aquascalientes, Aquascalientes, Mexico - same residence and birthplace 8 Jun 1903. Father Juan Sparks, Mother Oliva Cuevas - Maternal grandparents Margarito Cuevas and Felicitas Hernandez

I found this record that I think is connected to our family. Did you find out anymore about Cuevas in Aquascalientes?

Re: Jose Calvillo, founder of Calvillo, Aguascalientes

Reneziur — 2009-11-04 00:45:01Z

I have some limited knowledge on that, I went to school with the great, great grand kids in the City of Calvillo. Back in the mid to late 1970s I was in grade school with this girl by the name of Veronica Calvillo, direct descendant. I know that the family was heavily involved with the clergy of the city, everyone in the family had been altar boys (girls)and deacons as it would be the case. Am sure if you tap into the Church's records for the city you will be able to get plenty of information on them.

Good luck with that.

arturoramos21 — 2009-05-12 12:11:23Z

These are all very common names from some of the oldest Spanish families in the Totatiche area. I am sure that we are related in multiple ways.

Records in Totatiche are very well preserved, all filmed, and mostly indexed in LDS databases. If you are serious about finding your ancestry, I would suggest you compile the information that you have and apply for an account at:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.com

where you will find many cousins who have researched these families and many researchers who can help guide you through the resources available.

Hola,
Mucho gusto en conocerte, yo fui a una convención cuando era chiquita, (hace como 30 años), hace como dos años me entere de otra, pero desgraciadamente no pude ir, quien sabe si organicen otra porque creo q ya fallecio la que las organizaba.
Hablando de Juan Bautista Castelazo, ya me hice bolas con las generaciones, sabes cual es su segundo apellido?? me imagino que Alamán, yo lo estaba confundiendo con Díaz que era su papá, este fué el que se caso con la nieta del Marques de rayas, Asunción Alamán (tan presumido en la convención).
Me encantaría tener las fotos, sobre todo si tienen nombres!, hay que ponernos de acuerdo para que me pases el disco o simplemente, pasame los archivos directamente a mi mail, te lo agradeceria mucho.
En cuanto a mi abuela, fallecio hace mucho, muy joven, mejor pregunta por mi tia Mary Barrios Castelazo, a ella seguro la conoce, ella falleció hace como 2 años a los 103.
Saludos

Re: familia de castelazo

@@jafrank49@hotmail.com — 2009-04-23 01:39:33Z

Hi again. I am positive it was his father but because he had so many children, the younger ones (Carlos and a brother) were probably closer in age to their neices and nephews (more like brothers and sisters). One of the stories he told was when they got to Spain, he and his brother went out exploring and saw beggars getting tourists and residents to give them money on a street corner....They tried it and were successful, coming home with LOTS of money! Their parents were moritfied and I'm sure were severly punished! He told me about growing up in Los Angeles in the early 1900s with a huge home that was the scene of weekly parties attended by local teenagers and hosted by his mother who got everyone to dance and cooked lots of food...They were a very close family and he adored them. my email is jafrank 49 at hotmail dot com.

good you remember..
but I think it was his grandfather, because one of my father´s ants just die about 3 years ago, and she was 103 years old! and Juan Bautista was her grand father.

"La convención Castelazo" was last year, let me see if I have the info, I couldn´t go, but if I find the mail I´ll send it to your hotmail acount so you can have an idea of what we are talking about.

Yes! Now I remember...Juan Bautista Castelazo IS Carlos' father!

I'm not sure if my email shows but I will check this out later...I am on my way to meet a friend for dinner in a few minutes! I miss my friend Carlos! Do you know about the Castelazo family reunion or convention that happens every few years? It's a big deal and he wanted me to go to one...but died before that could happen. Later Chica!

Hello again,
It´s a pity I didn´t saw the message before, although I have been doing genealogical research only for a few months, and this is what I know, also because of the post above, let me translate it, is from a woman that claims to be descendent of Juan Bautista Castelazo, one of their sons married a Josefina Glennie I think her branch is the one you´re looking for, I descent also from Juan Bautista but from a daughter.
Let me tell you what I have reseach of Juan Bautista Castelazo,
His father is Jose Rodrigo Castelazo "spanish" born in Tlalpujahua Michoacan (by spanish they use to say of the spanish descendants so they are not mix with another blod)and her mother Rita Díaz Sustaeta"spanish" born in México City .
Juan Bautista was born in Mineral del Monte (tlalpujahua, mineral del monte and Guanajuato were mining places)he married Asunción Alaman, descendant of the Marques de Rayas (Jose Mariano Sardaneta Rivera LLorente), owner of "the rayas" mine, one of the richest of the New Spain (that is another very interesting history),
Juan Bautista was also provisional governor of Guanajuato during the revolution, after that he was sent as a Consul of México in France and that´s all I know about him.....
I have to do more research on the Castelazo´s branch, I´ll let you know as soon as I have more reliable data.
The birth information I got it from the matrimonial information of Juan Bautista.
I seems that my history ist´s quite different to yours, althought is the same person.......

Re: familia de castelazo

@@jafrank49@hotmail.com — 2009-04-22 20:28:03Z

Hi...I just got your message and thank you for writing. The Castelazos are not my family but I was looking up info from my dear friend Carlos..who passed away about 3 yeaers ago. He was 90 something and still working! He comes from the Glennie-Castelazo line. In the early 1800s 2 Glennie brothers came from Scotland to work as silver engineers in the mines. One of them climbed and charted Mt. Popo for the owners of the mine and he is famous as the first European to do so. He met and married a young native girl whose family originated from Castelazo Italy...she was half Italian and half local Indian....and the rest is history. I've "met" other relatives of Don Carlos online and was able to explain everything to him before he died. His father was a high ranking senator of Guanajuato (the equivalent to vice pres of Mexico at the time) in the early 1900s and he was ambassador to Spain and the family shows on the ships manafest coming back thru Ellis Island after a trip! While Carlos' father was senator, the family lived in Los Angeles California and he commutted! Write me again with what you know.

I am confused as to who her parents were. An old family tree lists her parents as Lasaro Nunez (Muniz on one database)and Teresa Lopez but raised by Donaciana Pedroza and Refugio Jaime. I was told that these may have been her Godparents and traditionally one would take their name. I would appreciate any information that would help. Also, who do I then research?

IGI UPDATE FROM FHL

JohnnyPJ — 2004-08-14 14:55:26Z

Hi everyone, I wrote to the Family History Library Support people and they gave me a description and update relating to the IGI and the Middle America Vital Records Index. This is important info to consider. When I get more info, I will post it here:
Their Email to me follows:

Hello John:
Middle America Vital Records Index is a collection of names which were extracted and typed into the computer but were never processed for addition to the IGI. Since the Church had these 2 million names in the computer with nothing being done with them, this information is now available for people to obtain and use on their own personal computer. This is a separate file from the IGI and most of the names on the Vital Records are not on the IGI so the value will be to use both data collections.

A new version of the IGI is in beta testing right now but no release date has yet been announced.
I am checking with another department to see any church extractions for Sain Alto, Zacatecas have been done.
