#52Ancestors: An English Translation for the Mexico Marriage Record of 2nd Great-Grandfather Refugio Nieto

An English translation written by my Spanish-fluent father helps me better interpret the genealogical information contained in the 1883 Mexico Catholic church pre-marriage investigation record for my 2nd great grandparents, Refugio Nieto and Aurelia Compean.

#52Ancestors: Maria Aurelia Compean (1858-1963), Lived to Be 105 or 100 or 95 Years of Age

#52Ancestors: Maria Aurelia Compean (1858-1963), Lived to Be 105 or 100 or 95 Years of Age

My extended family has always proudly claimed my great-grandmother lived to 105 years. But the most credible records I’ve found thus far indicate she most likely was only 95 years old. Only 95? I still hope Dad inherited those healthy long-living genes!

#52Ancestors: Fourth great-grandfather Jose Victoriano Compean exemplifies Mexican naming conventions

Mexican naming conventions can make genealogical research very difficult, and also very easy. My 4th great-grandfather Jose Victoriano Compean (b. abt. 1803) and his family are a very good representation of this dichotomy.

People Referenced: Compean Sanches, Maria Aurelia (1858-1963), Compean, Jose Santiago (b. 1840), Compean, Jose Victoriano (b. 1803), Martines, Maria Ignacia, Nieto Compean, Maria Hermalinda (1887-1974), Robledo Sanches, Jose Pablo (1879-1937), Sanches, Maria Eutimia (b. abt 1834)
Applicable Surnames: Compean, Martinez, Nieto, Sanches
