Hi there;

I saw your message on the zacatecas/Mota message board and had to reply. Hope you get this. My fathers' family is from that area, and the names in his family are Alvarez, Campos, Mota, Robles. I am in particular looking for an Alvarez connection. My grandfather was Melesio Alvarez. He married Sara Campos Mota in 1914 or 1915. They had one child, my father, Salvador Alvarez Campos. Melesio died in 1915 as a very young man. Later Grandmother Sara married Valintin Robles. Do any of these names sound familiar. Please reply. Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry, but I don't have any information on the names you are looking for. I don't have any information on Alvarez or Mota names. And my information on Campos and Robles names is based on people born long before 1850. Good luck on your search.

Hi. I'm searching for my husband's family roots. The surname is Miramontes and his dad (Alfredo Miramontes) and grandfather (Aureliano Miramontes) were from Los Reales, Zacatecas which I understand is near Momax. Do you happen to have any links to this particular part of the Miramontes family? Any information that you may have would be greatly appreciated. We're trying to put together a family tree for our children and have very little information on the Miramontes family. Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Tammy

Hi Tammy,

Sorry I don't have any information on Aureliano Miramontes. If you ever find out the name of his wife or his parents, let me know, and I can re-look the names up in my family tree. The Miramontes names that I am searching for, I have listed on the Miramontes Message Board. Take a look at it, if you get a chance. My messages are dated Dec 28, 2001 and Apr 22, 2002.

Thanks,
Angie

Angie,

Thanks for the quick response. I do have the name of Aureliano's wife, but as of right now, I do not know who his parents are. His wife's name was Victoria Magallanes. Thanks again for looking into your family tree. If I somehow manage to get any other family members names, I will get in touch with you again.

Tammy

Hello there!

I don't know much as of yet but as you can see my last name is Alvarez. Alvarez Campos actually from my Dad's side and Mota Miramontes from my Mom's side. Both of my parents are from Momax. I would think between the two of them they might be able to help you. Please let me know asap if you still need the info.

I'm researching for someone with family in Momax. Would you have any info on Meredes or Mercedes Mota, b. 1918 (probably in Momax), m. Antonio Robles Delgado, d. 1982 in Momax? Thank you!

Hi, I'm researching for a friend with family in Momax. His grandmother is Meredes or Mercedes Mota, b. 1918 (probably in Momax), m. Antonio Robles Delgado, d. 1982 in Momax. Would you happen to have any info on parents, siblings, etc.? Thanks for your help!

We are looking for Fielis de Mota and his wife Antonia Jossepha de Campos Robles, paternal grandparents to Maria Dominga de Mota Torres, born Aug.15, 1758 in Tlaltenango De Sanches Roman,Zacatecas on Rancho de San Buena Ventura.
Thankful for any help.

Angie, I'm a decendant of the Godoys of Zacatecas, it seems that there where two families some how there are connected the carlos-godoy and godoy in the census of 1754 of tlaltenango,zacatecas Rancho de luis carlos, luis a widower his sons were joseph carlos,andres carlos , diego carlos,pedro carlos ,manuel carlos,joseph antonio carlos,bentura carlos,daughter ana carlos and catarina carlos.

George,
I have heard the surname Carlos de Godoy, but I am not researching that surname. But many of the families from Momax and Tlaltenango, Zacatecas tie into to each other. I am researching many families from this area including the surname Godina which sometimes get confused with Godoy or Godinez. I know some people who are researching the surname Carlos de Godoy. I belong to this group: http://www.nuestrosranchos.com
and there are a few people from the group who may be able to help you with your research. If genealogy is something you are interested in, you should think about joining the group.

What other surnames are in your family?

Thanks,
Angie Godina

Angie,Thanks for infro, I've Trace my roots seven gen. other surnames I have are llamas,de la O,Nava,
Marquez,and Sanchez

George,

Perhaps you can email me outside of the message board. I am also researching the surnames Marquez and Sanchez. But my Marquez family are from Colotlan, Jalisco which is very close to Momax, Zac. Some of the the Marquez family married into a Sanchez family. But I am actually related to a different Sanchez family. The Sanchez family I am following are from Totatiche, Jalisco which is near Colotlan. They are also sometimes located in Tlaltenango, Zacatecas.

I also have De La O and Llamas but these are two maternal lines which I have very little information on.

Hope to hear from you.
Angie
