My great-grandfather was a Zenobio/Cenobio Gonzalez born c. 1844 in Jerez to Prudencio Gonzalez and Severiana Salcedo. His first wife, whom he married in 1862, was Eleuteria Tovar, d/o Mauricio Tobar and Petra Escobedo-Sandobal. His second wife, whom I descend from, was Ma. Francisca Saldivar. Severiana Salcedo had a kinsman--I want to say a brother--named Gregorio Salcedo. Does any of the Gonzalez information sound familiar to you? Marge V.:)

> I am looking for records of Hernandez and those of Leon Gonsalez, my   
> great grandfather who would have been born sometime between 1830-1850 in   
> Zacatecas. This is all I know about him. My grandmother was from   
> Zacatecas, born in 1888. Her last name was also Gonzalez, but my   
> understanding is that her grandparents were rescued and brought back to the   
> hacienda and given their family name. Does this make sense? So, my dad was   
> Jose Luis Gonsalez Gonzalez, born in Durango in 1914.
