Nicolas has just published his latest book "Historia de Teocaltiche Pueblo de La Region Caxcana Nueva Galicia-Zona de Los Altos de Jalisco". This book covers the history of area as well as naming well known families in the Teocaltiche area.

He mentions owners of haciendas and ranchos. He lists the ranchos in the district of Teocaltiche which includes: Agua Blanca, Aguegotita, Alaznas, Alconero, Anoria, Atepoca de Arriba, Atepoca de Abajo, Atotonilco, Belen, Bocadito, Buenavista Calera, Calerita, Canada del Mezquite,Canada Grande, Cienega de los Tejedas, Cofradia, Custique, El Catalan, El Refugio, El Santo, El Tablero, Gavilan, Haciendita, Jabonera, Las Animas, Las Trojes, Los Amoles, Los Carrillo, Los Gregorios, Mascua, Mendocina, Morisco, Nangue, Parras, Paso de Canas, Pedregoso, Pueblito, Puera de Cornejo, Rancho Viejo, Rincon de Abajo, Rincon del Zapatero, Rio Chico, Salitre, San Antonio, San Marcos, Santa Barbara, Tequesquite de Abajo, Tequesquite de Arriba, Villita de Ornelas.

He has a list of Ranchos in Mexticacan and Paso de Sotos also.

My research partner David Valdez y Marquez and I are also listed in Nicolas' bibiliography. Dave had shared information with Nicolas during our findings while extracting information from films in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes and Teocaltiche, Jalisco. Needless to say Dave and I found out we are also related to Nicolas about 11 generations back.

I have contacted George Farias at Borderlands Bookstore in order to obtain a copy of this new book. George also sells Nicolas' other two books covering Teocaltiche, Jalisco.

Rosanne,
I checked out the "borderland books," website that you noted, but did not
locate any books written by Nicolás de Anda Sanchez. Are Mr. Sanchez'
books only available by contacting George Farias?

Thank you Rose,

Rancho Jabonera, Nochistlan, Zacatecas is where my mother-in-law was born.
It would be nice to have a book that references that area. I'll place my
order with George.

Jose,

If you go to the website of Borderlands Bookstore- there is a link to contact George Farias. You can e-mail him directly with your question. In fact I just received a response back from George tonight and he will be contacting Nicolas about his new book and ordering some copies.

Sincerely,

Rose Hardy (Rosanne Gonzales-Hardy)

I live in the Inland Empire of Southern California. My grandfather and all of his siblings fled (because of the Mexican Revolution)Teocaltiche in 1917 for Peach Springs, Arizona and ultimately permanently settling in Needles, CA.
We were told they all fled because they were forced to make saddles and other leather goods such as holsters for Pancho Villa's "Posse." I know from reading history now that General Carranza had orders to kill any Villa symphathizers..I do not know if he is the culprit, other than they fled for their lives under threat of harm.
I just bought and recieved Nicolas Sanchez De Anda's book: "Teocaltiche: La Importancia De Sus Hijos."

I have a small book I bought in 1997 while visitng Teocaltiche, same author, "Teocaltiche: Tierra de Arrieros Y Hacendados Con Familias Ilustres." I bought it from the town cronista who is also the author's uncle?

Page 25 list my great grandfather Mauro Rodriguez as one of the most well known Talabarteros-leathercraftsmen of the present and last century.

Interestingly, I have met on two occasions young women who are Rodriguez from the same town with the same history of leathercraftsmen in ther family history. They are, however, recent immigrants with closer ties to their history. I am the lost tribe I guess. I was treated as a real surpise when I asked the cronista for information on the Rodriguez who were leather craftsmen in town named Rodriguez. First, I was told I could not be from that family, so I said fine give me the other Rodriguezes. No no other just us.

I would like to share this tie with Nicolas De Anda. I mean 80 years of a gap and finding each other just randomly in town. It would be fun to document the tie.
Other names were included as working in thie craft: Aguilera, Arroyo, Garcia, Gonzalez, Rameriz, Sandoval, Rodriguez-Ruiz.

Are any of you out there?

Hi, Sylvia..my name is Raul Santana Cristerna Luna, originally from Needles, Ca. My grandfather came here under the same circumstances as your grandpa. My grandpa was Antonio Santana from Jerez, Zac. His real name was Paulino Acuna Cardenas Cristerna. He settled in Needles, Ca. and ran Santana's Market. His first business was a cantina. Could you tell me more about your Rodriquez family in Needles. I had an uncle named Mauro Rodriquez that lived in Needles and settled in Barstow and died there. Seems like there was a Rodriquez family that ran a meat market on Broadway in Needles...Saludos, Raul Luna

This is an interesting post. It contains enough history to intrigue
me; unfortunately, I'm not related. Marge:)
