Hello.. ..from tapia... my wife's mother is Juana Huertero... any relations...

I am looking for any information on family lines of Escudero, Acevedo and Mejilla from Olinala. If you have any of these names in your history I would love to hear about them. Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't have much details on those families.

I recommend you check out Familysearch.org; they have indexes for microfilms they have of the parish records for Olinala. However, they are cut off at 1820, except for a handful of records. Unfortunately, the older records were probably destroyed, perhaps by a fire.

The indexes are not complete and do not include the informaciones matrimoniales. However, you can order the microfilms for all of the church records, including the information-rich informaciones, which were marriage petitions, for the parish of San Francisco Olinala at any Family History Center; the website has addresses for these.

I have a census from the 1790s for Olinala, and I'd be more than happy to mail you a copy free of cost.

There are also microfilmed records of nearby parishes including Xicotlan, Cualac; and most importantly Chiautla. Olinala had very close ties to Chiautla, both adminstratively and genealogically. My own ancestors Olinaltecos were originally from Chiautla, moving to Olinala in the 1820s.

The Family History Library also has the 1930 census; and you can view it online if you check out at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0

They also have registro civil records; note that the Spanish governor of Chiautla governed Olinala until 1680; when it passed to Tlapa. And Olinala was in the state of Puebla until 1849 when the state of Guerrero was formed.

Throughout most of it's history the parish of San Francisco Olinala belong to the archdiocese Puebla, so that archive may have documents relating to it.

Finally, Olinala did fall under the jurisdiction of the parish of San Agustin Chiautla during the very early colonial period, so some records relating to people in that town dating to the 1500s and the 1600s can be found in those microfilms.

Finally, the Archivo General de la Nacion de Mexico has a search engine where you can find records relating to Olinala http://www.agn.gob.mx/guiageneral/

For example a Merced given to a Miguel del Valle vecino of Olinala in 1692.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions/comments.

I have a lot of information on various families in Chiautla going back to the 1500s. Unfortunately, a lot of that information is cut off at 1880; so if you could send me more information, I'd be able to figure out if I have that familie's information or not.

My information for the Huertero goes back to the 1760s.

I also have information on many, many other families, including but not limited to Flores, Vergara, Quiroz, Amigon, Alarcon, Enriquez, Alcaide, Alvarado, Aguilar, Aragon, Benites, Canongo, Ibarra, Cardona, Cardoso, Cuacuamoxtla, Carrasco, Cortez, Herrera, Leon, Tapia, Dominguez, Garcia, Hernandez, Macareno, Marin, Medina, Mercado, Najera, Espinoza, Rodriguez, Olmedo, Oropeza, Pita, Ponce, Rios, Ruiz, Saldivar, Sosa, Torres, Eumana, Xuchitl, Islas, Zapotitla, etc., etc., etc., etc. from Chiautla, Huehuetlan El Chico and the ranchos of Tepoxmatla, Platanar, San Miguel, Cascalote, Santa Ana, La Flor, etc., etc., etc.

Best

Warm regards,

Dan
