Por lupe lujan | Vie, 21/07/2006 - 22:00

Looking for Leonarda Lujan born in 1800's in Sain del Alto Zacatecas. Any Lujans out there in rancho land? She only had one son which was my grandfather Jose. She died when he was a young man and he took care of her. My grandfather said she died of an illness called "flores blancas". Sometimes I wonder what it was like being a single unwed mother in the 1800's Mexico. What I find intriguing is how Jose was accepted by the Martinez Family. His Father Eduardo Martinez was married and his wife and kids treated my grandfather very well. My grandfather Jose Lujan married as a young man dont know his first wife's name she died giving birth and so did the child. Later he married my grandmother Maria Mendoza Castaneda. My grandmother Maria rememberd attending his wedding to his first wife when she was a young girl. She said she and her friends giggled as the young couple kissed. Leonarda Lujan had other sisters I would like to know who they were. If anyone has any info or where I
can search please let me know. I usually go by Lupe. I noticed there is another Maria so if you refer to me can you put Lupe1. Thank you

Lujan in Zacatecas

Lupe:

I think the best place to start is to try to find your grandfather's baptism certificate. It should list his grandparents and once you have that information you will know who Leonarda's parents were. With that information you will not only be one generation further back in your genealogy but you should be able to find any other children that they had and therefore find your great-grandmother's siblings.

Do you know your grandfather's date and place of birth? He was likely baptised within a couple weeks of his birth most likely in the closest parrish.
