Hi, I was looking at the Cocula, Jalisco Marriages from 1740-1758, and I can't seem to find the marriage act of my ancestors Santiago Barbosa (stylized as Sntiago.) and Lorensa de Aguilar, who married on February 27, 1757 in Cocula. The records are in bad shape, and some are not clear to read. The records that I was looking at were originally recorded with the month of January (Enero) but the "E" was overwritten by an "F" which looks like "Febrero", and there is March (Marzo) is overwritten with Febrero. If someone could help me find this, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Valente.

Hi Valente:

I also descend from the Barbosa family of Cocula. I don't know if all Barbosa of Cocula were relatives but my farthest ancestors I've found is Clemente Barbosa, married with Brígida Núñez, they might have married before May 1743, when the oldest child that I've found from them was baptized in Cocula. I searched in a good range of years before that date, the information of their marriage, but I couldn't find it. I have the custom of writing down possible relatives with the same family name registered in the same church but I don't have your ancestors' names in my notes but continue searching, maybe I missed that couple marriage or possibly they were married after the date I began my search that was May 1743.

Regards

Hello Salvador, the farthest I've gotten with my Barbosa ancestors are Antonio Barbosa and Teresa de Ruelas. They probably married prior to 1734, before having my ancestor Santiago Barbosa on July 1735. There could be a possible connection within these two lineages, I will be checking on that.

Thanks,
Valente.
