Information on the following people: MANUEL VILLASANA, born:
1860-1865, Vasuchil, Mexico / JULIAN VILLASANA, born: 1880-1885, Vasuchil, Mexico / MANUEL A.VILLASANA,born: 1910-1915, Vasuchil, Mexico / REMEDIOS VILLASANA, born: 1906-1910, Vasuchil, Mexico.

My research with these names first appears in Jimenez, Chihuahua with the christening of my g-grandfather, Trinidad Armendariz in 1852. The research goes into Valle de San Bartolome and perhaps Hidalgo del Parral and Durango. This covers a span of about 150 years in church records. Need to know who might have a connection with these lines. How may I help you and get some help filling in some blanks and go further back in generations. Also, my g-grandfather married in Camargo, Tamps. in 1878 to Sara Bast DelaGarza. There's more, but I wait to hear from anyone.

Irene, in response to your question of connection to the names mentioned: my grandparents are from Durango. Their names are Damacio & Nicolasa (Guevara) Manqueros. They were born in 1872 and 1893. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I've just started my "quest" to find family roots and history.

God Bless

i am searching for my deceased mothers' relatives in mexico. her maiden name was maria nunes or nunez. she was from guadalara or jalisco mexico. she had quite a few sisters and brothers. this is in response to the chihuahua mexico query

i am looking for an aniceto nunez who died around 1900-1920 was married to an andrea gonzalez ( cruz?)

I am looking for Nunez family from Chihuahua, Mexico. My Grandpa was Gilberto Nunez, b. 1896 in Hidalgo de Parral.
His father owned a big cattle ranch, El Pajarrito. Don Jose
Nunez, b. 1872, was married to Refugio Portillo, b. 1877.
parents of Jose were: Miguel Nunez (called "The Spaniard"
and Severina Mendoza. The Parents of Miguel were: Sixto Nunez and Benita Saenz. the wife of Miguel was: Severina Mendoza. Her Parents were Domingo Mendoza and Rosalia Portillo. I have more names of siblings.

Curious for information on the surname Aranda. Only know that my grandfather, Lorenzo Aranda was born and lived in Leon, Guanajuato.

I am the grandson of a Santago Portillo b. 1875; baptised in San Fernando Church, San Antonio, Texas; The census records of 1880 show him living in La Salle County, TX (County Seat Cotulla). The mother was a widow in 1880. My grandfather could have half brother and sister by the name of Aleman. Happy to share additional information if there is a connection.

Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony,
I think we have no common threads. My Great-grandmother was Refugio Portillo, b. 1877 d. 1925 . I'm assuming in Chihuahua. She was married to Jose Nunez. They lived in a ranch, El Pajarito. Located on the Rio Conchos. Refugio was the child of Jesus Portillo and Virginia rodgriquez.
Jesus was the child of Pablo Portillo and Inez Salcido. I am so new to all this. Any hints? We've ordered records from the Mormans for Hidalgo de Parral and Valle de Zaragosa.
