PUEBLO NUEVO, GTO. Familia Barreneche Etcheverri de La Hacienda Huatzimitiro

Barreneche_Etcheverri — 2013-05-04 06:41:51Z

Todo los días de mi vida yo recuerdo a mi Abuelo materno. Un señor educado y abundante quien tenia su esposa legitima y cuatro hijas cuando tuvo una indiscreción con mi abuela, Francisca "Pachita" Rangel Pimentel, resultando que ella diera luz a una niña en 1957, que hoy es mi madre, Maria Josefa Martha Pimentel quien cumplió 56 años en 2013.

Yo en mis 33 años recuerdo detalles y momentos en tiempo suspendido por el dolor y sufrimiento que mi madre compartió conmigo en su agonía y abandono en todos los días de nuestra existencia. Que es la razón de mi pasión a llegar al paradero de mi Abuelo materno, el señor del Pais Vasco de Francia, Josú Barreneche Etcheverri y su hermano Emilio Barreneche Etcheverri quien huyíerón del los terrenos donde eran propetarios en la Hacienda Huatzimitiro, fuera del pequeño pueblito llamado Pueblo Nuevo el el estado de Guanajuato en México.Mi Abuela Francisca "Pachita" Rangel Pimentel era una humilde persona de servicio que trabajaba para la familia en la Hacienda como 'mamuca' o 'ama de llaves" y unos dicen que fue amante y cuando otros dícen que se aprovecharón de ella. Lo que sea no es importante hoy, lo que importa es que mi madre nació sin padre, ejemplo o apollo por ningun de sus dos padres carnales. Y fue criada por su Abuela Juana Rangel hasta que mi madre se caso por la iglesia Catolica en Pueblo Nuevo, Guanajuato muy joven. Hasta día, mi madre es una persona devoto a Dios y Jesus Cristo como la Iglesia verdadera y no la falsa que falto en el corazón de su padre o su esposa Maria Del Carmen Aldave del Pais Vasco de España. Las hijas de esta pareja de extranjeros quienes renunciaron el uso de la Hacienda Huatzimitiro en 1958 fue grabado en el gobierno Mexicano así:

(08-08-69 ACUERDO sobre inafectabilidad agrícola del predio constituido por una fracción del denominado Huatzimitiro, en Pueblo Nuevo, Gto., propiedad del C. JosÚ Barreneche Echeverri.(17)Al margen un sello con el Escudo Nacional, que dice: Estados Unidos Mexicanos.- Presidencia de la República.VISTO el expediente de inafectabilidad agrícola del predio rústico constituido por una fracción del denominado Huatzimitiro, ubicado en el Municipio de Pueblo Nuevo, del Estado de Guanajuato, propiedad del C. JosÚ Barreneche Echeverri; yCONSIDERANDO:Por escrito de fecha 17 de julio de 1958, el señor JosÚ Barreneche Echeverri en su carácter de propietario, solicitó la declaratoria de inafectabilidad para el predio mencionado, cuya superficie es de 106.70-56 hectáreas de temporal, equivalentes a 53.35-28 hectáreas de riego, dentro de las siguientes colindancias: al Norte, pequeñas propiedades, y río de por medio; al Sur, ejido Noria de Mosqueda; al Este, ejido de Noria de Mosqueda y al Oeste, ejido Pueblo Nuevo y propiedades del C. Emilio Barreneche. El promovente comprobó a satisfacción sus derechos de propiedad sobre dicho inmueble y remitió los planos respectivos. La Delegación Agraria correspondiente opinó en sentido favorable y la Dirección General de Inafectabilidad Agrícola y Ganadera del Departamento de Asuntos Agrarios y Colonización en sus verificaciones posteriores han llegado a establecer que no existe problema agrario relacionado con el predio de que se trata. En el presente caso quedan satisfechos los requisitos que estatuye el artículo 294 del Código Agrario en vigor y como el predio aludido tiene una superficie que no excede de los límites que señala el artículo 104 del mismo Ordenamiento, el suscrito, Presidente de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, con apoyo en las disposiciones invocadas y en los artículos 33 del citado Cuerpo de Leyes y 27 de la Constitución Política del País, tiene a bien dictar el siguiente
ACUERDO:PRIMERO.- Se declara inafectable para los efectos de dotación y ampliación ejidales o de creación de nuevo centro de población agrícola, la superficie de 106.70-56 Hs.

(cincuenta y tres hectáreas, treinta y cinco áreas, veintiocho centiáreas) de riego, que integran el predio rústico constituido por una fracción del denominado Huatzimitiro, con las colindancias anotadas en el considerando precedente, ubicado en el Municipio de Pueblo Nuevo, del Estado de Guanajuato, propiedad del C.

Tengo varias fotografias de las hijas y esposa de mi abuelo maternal, José Barreneche Etchéverri, con tres de la fotografias tomadas en Londres ya despues de que fujieron la Hacieda Huatzimitiro cuando las hijas las mandaron a una empleada de la misma Hacienda. Agradezco toda ayuda al encontrar mi querido Abuelo que me encantaria conocer. Lo mensionado solo son factos y no para dañar el caracter de el y su familia, pero como no tengo ningun otra forma de llegar a el, esto es lo mejor que puedo contar.

(el nieto de Josú Barreneche Etchéverri)

Manuel, you can search for all your relatives at this site. It is very good and I have used it for years... familysearch.com you can register for free and you can also use it without registering. It gives you views of orginal Mexico census, baptism records, and weddings, deaths and births. It is amazing I recommend you try it.

Re: Ancestry of Chagolla, Chagoya, Chavolla Guanajuato, Mex.

R4808E — 2013-03-06 17:20:27Z

Hello Christopher. Thank You for the email response. Since my original post, I have either cleared up or muddied the waters on my Chagolla Line. Did research and found what I believe are the parents of and wife of Guadalupe. I found a marriage certificate for German and Manuela stating parents names, Guadalupe and Crus Lopes. This lead me to finding other birth certificates of the various siblings. The only thing keeping me from stating that in fact these truly is the right Chagolla line is that my Grandmother said there were five children. I found a bunch more. Maybe, those were the only five names that she could remember? Sadly, she passed away 11 years ago. She was going to be 100. Attached is are .jpgs showing findings. Who knows, we might still be related? If I can help, I'm here too. Regards, Jaime

Espinoza near(cerca) Celaya, Gto

Bixente12 — 2013-03-05 07:07:33Z

Hello, I’m looking to see if anyone has any relatives that reside near Celaya, Gto. I’m looking for more information on my great grandfather Victoriano Espinoza or my great grandmother of maiden name Garcia. I don’t know where either of them were born, but I do know that my grandfather lived near Celaya in a town called Roque until he passed away. I believe his brothers/sisters live in surrounding towns also, but I have no information on them. If you have any information on either of my grandparents I’d greatly appreciate it.

Hola,
Estoy buscando cualquier información sobre la familia Espinoza cerca de Celaya, Gto. En particular quisiera saber si alguien sabe sobre mi bisabuelo, Victoriano Espinoza, o mi bisbuela, que tenia el apellido Garcia. No se de donde eran originarios, pero si se que su hijo, mi abuelo vivió en Roque, un pueblo cerca de Celaya hasta que falleció hace mas o menos una década. Si tienen cualquier información de veras se los agradecería.

Randy,
Julia Mosqueda was married to Silvestre Jaime in Irapuato Gto. Silvestre Jaime was born in 1853. I do not have a date of birth for Julia Mosqueda.They had several children.
Luis Jaime Mosqueda-born 25 Aug.1897
Maria Victoria -born 8 Oct. 1899
Maria Micaela -born 29 Sept. 1903
Jose Eusebio -born-14 Aug. 1907
Also, their is a Roman Mosqueda on a birth certificate for a daughter of my G.G.Granfather Jose Antonio Jaime. The baptisimal certificate shows Roman Mosqueda as the padrino. The date was 1870. Perhaps, he is related to you.

Re: MORALES BORN 1912 IN GUANAJUATO,MEX

Adonai_morales — 2013-01-11 23:23:59Z

Hi. I was talking to my mom today and was talking to me about my grandfather. A story came up that my mother referred to as "el catrin." After telling me this story had made newspapers I decided to google the name under Leon Guanajuato. Your ancestry post was a result and when I asked my mom if she remembered the last name of "el catrin" she couldn't remember until I asked if it was morales... I am also a morales(no relation). I might have some very interesting information if you are still interested, or even check in on this. I don't know if your great grandfather happened to die in a gunfight. We might have a connection if so.

Re: Irapuato Guanajuato

HtownAg03 — 2013-01-11 17:32:40Z

Raul,

Thanks for your reply!

I spoke with my grandmother who is my only link back to Andrea Mosqueda. She does remember and Julia Mosqueda from her childhood. My family is in Texas now and she said they would visit for the holidays and she remembers going to a Julia Mosqueda's house. Of course she was very old at this time. Would you mind giving me birth and death dates for Julia Mosqueda. This may help to determine if we are talking about the same person. Also, there is a large group of Mosqueda's in my home town and most of them trace to my GG Andrea. My grandma said they have a a lot of their family history recorded. my grandma said she would try to speak with them about a Julia Mosqueda.

I have family who lived in Irapuato Guanajuato. My great great grandmother is Andrea Mosqueda and I was told she came from this area. I also found border crossing records stating the same. My family settled in central Texas (Austin) before moving to the counties of Milam, Burleson, and Brazos counties in Texas.

Not sure if this is helpful to you though. Please let me know. I am also searching for Silvas from this area.

Hi do you know if your great-great grandmother Maria Encarnación Chagoyan had brothers or sisters and the name of her parents? My great-grandtfather's name was Pedro Chagoyan Manrrique son of Ramon Chagoyan and Maria Manrrique from Irapuato. As i know one of his half sister's was married with a man named Arroyo, he was the son of Ramon´s second marriage.

Re: Ancestry of Chagolla, Chagoya, Chavolla Guanajuato, Mex.

R4808E — 2012-11-13 20:26:21Z

Hi, Responding to you query. Over the last year or so I was able to find out more about my Chagolla line. The father of my 3X Great Grandfather Jose Guadalupe was Antonio Chagolla. He was married to Narcisa de los Santos Mosqueda. They had a least ten children. As for Jose Guadalupe's wife Maria Guadalupe. Her actual name was Maria Macedonia de la Crus Lopes. Her parents were Juan Jose Lopes and Maria de Jesus Zavala. They had a least five children. Sorry, no Chagoyan.
Then again, looking at previous birth/marriage certificates names have changed...Replace a Z with a S, G with a V or even completely remove a letter. Example: N. Good Luck.

Re: Ancestry of Chagolla, Chagoya, Chavolla Guanajuato, Mex.

egarnica2006 — 2012-11-13 01:35:32Z

I read your post about the name Chagoyan i am also looking for its origins because i am writting my family history. For my grand mother i know that a man (her grandfather) came from France to Irapuato (his Name was Ramon Chagoyan) he married twice and one of his daugthers from his first marriage was married with an Arroyo´s man. She (my grandmoter) was the daugther of Pedro Chagoyan Manrrique from the second marriage of Ramon with Maria Manrrique, all of them from Irapuato Guanajuato.

Very close, as I recall my Mom used to tell us they came through Texas, sounds very close. Mom never mentioned the name Cecelia. That is new. My Mom was about 8 yrs, she told us they were 4 children a baby who died of influenza that was going around during that time. But my grandfather did work at the railroads i believe in TX's. Her name the R might have been Reyes. Very close, yet children weren't mentioned. I thank you , if so it might be. Lot of work. Thank you again.

Re: Irapuato Guanajuato

grampawarren — 2012-10-13 20:50:19Z

I spoke to my wife, who was born at Rancho Cuchicuato, very near Irapuato. I'm not too clear on how the places are connected, but Cuchicuato is sort of a suburb of Irapuato.

She told me that certain family names are prominent in various Ranchos. The Mendoza name is common in Rancho La Sanaja and Gonzales is prominent in Rancho San Javier. All three ranchos are near each other and connected to Irapuato.

I did a quick search on ancestry.com and found a Juan Gonzales, age 25 in the 1920 US Census, living in Atacosa, TX with his wife Margarita R. Gonzales, age 18. They were both born in Mexico, entered the US in 1913, and were illiterate. Also in the home was Cecilia Ramos, age 8, listed as his sister-in-law.

That might or might not be your Juan and Margarita, but it should get you started.

Re: Irapuato Guanajuato

TeresaRobbins34 — 2012-10-13 17:49:22Z

I would suggest the baptism records for Irapuato. Also google & see what is around it, then compare it to what the LDS has microfilmed. i.e., Cueramarao, Romita, Pueblo Nuevo, Salamanca, I'm not familiar to the other directions.

Mine were from Cueramaro & Irapuato, but seemed to go back & forth. In Cueramaro it goes into more details of the little ranchitos in the area if someone was born there.

Marriage records usually give good info, although they will usually say from this area.

Good Luck

Irapuato, Guanajuato was the town & state she was born. this was a nickname I guess for the area she came from. All of my grandparents have passed. She has One cousin relative to her, but does not have no information, her parents have passed also. My grandparents entered the USA during the Mexican Revolution, 1917 around there. My Mothers name was Dionisia , Grandpa name was Juan Gonzales, Grandma's name was Margarita or Rita Mendoza. They had 4 children, when they left & came over here. Any memory , hope I can get information. Where can I get any information about them? Thank you. Name me places that kept records of births.

Re: Guanajuato,Mexico Raya family please reply

JasonRaya — 2012-08-31 04:58:22Z

I've recently begun my search as well. So far , I know that my grandfather, Gaspar Raya's dad, Senon Raya was from Guanajuato, Mexico. He was a"full blooded Indian". (Sometime around 1900) his family migrated to Texas and ended up in Brawley, Ca in Imperial Valley.

I hear Senon Raya was from a town in Guanajuato called Penicuato, but I can't find this place on a map??

What's everyone's goal with searching for Raya roots?I'm searching for the generation that brought the name Raya from the continents east of the Atlantic ocean.
