La Tejedora Pregunta 590 - 2 February 2010Does anyone have information regarding Josefa parvula, baptism #124 of the Plaza Church de Los Angeles on 15 May 1828? There is no reference in the baptism record to Josefa’s mother, while the father is stated to be gentiles Chapo of the Rancheria Coppa. In addition, why would there be so much information in the baptism for the father and NONE regarding the mother? There must be an explanation for this practice. There is another example of the practice in baptism #109, Gertrudis parvula, the sister of Josefa. Again, in the baptism record there is plenty of information for the father, but no mention whatsoever of the mother. Does someone have an explanation for this practice or why there is no mention of the mother? [Rick Waldau (nonmember), Huntington Beach, Calif.] Pregunta 589 - 6 January 2010Looking for any information on Manuel Boronda (arrived in Monterey Calif., 1769), Manuel Boronda jr. 1803, Juana Cota, Jose de los Santos Boronda (1842 to 1925), Rosario Castro. [Rick Harris (nonmember), King City, Calif.] Respuesta a Pregunta 589 - 6 January 2010I do not find José Manuel Boronda listed among those who arrived in and explored Alta California in 1769. However, Building and Builders in Hispanic California: 1769-1850 by Mardith K. Schuetz-Miller had many references to him, including almost 2 pages of biography (pp. 59-60). He is identified as a Spaniard from Xéres, Bishopric of Guadalajara Jalisco, born about 1750, died 1826. His name first appears in Alta California on 31 December 1785 in a list of employees of the Department of San Blas attached to Santa Barbara wherein he was described as age 35 and a bachelor. According to Marie Northrop's Spanish-Mexican Families of Early California: 1769-1850, Vol. II, pp. 27-28: José Manual Boronda was a corporal, carpenter, and teacher at San Francisco and Monterey 1790-1818. The school at Monterey was called Tularcitos. Manuel built the first adobe casa outside the presidio walls about 1817. His marriage and the vitals of his 14 children are listed. Jose Manuel Boronda, the son, is covered on pp. 29-31 in the same manner. He was juez de camp in 1836 at Rancho Las Salinas and grantee of Los Laurels in 1839. His wife, Juana Maria Inocencia Cota, is listed on p. 29 and her family lineage is covered in Vol. I, pp. 115-18. Jose de los Santos Boronda is listed on p. 30, as is Rosario Castro, his wife. The information on these individuals is too extensive for me to include it all here, but you should be able to borrow these books on interlibrary loan through your local library. They are also available to the public for a modest fee in the Traveling Genealogy Library at all the Los Californianos Meetings. Our meetings are detailed on this Web site under Meetings. It is likely that you would find other information about your family lines in the library as we have a fairly large genealogical collection. [Benita H.

[Aaron (nonmember), Roseville, Calif.] Pregunta 584 - 26 December 2009We are researching families that lived in the Livermore-Amador Valley before 1900. One of those families descended from James Bagley [born 1831 Ireland, died 1861 San Jose] and Maria Elena Aranzazu Mesa [born 1840 Alviso, died after 1920]. We are very interested in learning more about James Bagley and exactly where he lived [believed to be in what is now Milpitas], and where he is buried. Also very interested in when and where Maria died and where she is buried. Very willing to share information we have. [Richard Finn (nonmember), Livermore, Calif.] Pregunta 583 - 22 November 2009Who were the mother and father of Maria Ortega y Pacheco? Maria married Guillermo West, son of Mark West, in Sonoma County. Maria claimed to be a descendant of Jose Francisco Ortega of the Portolá Expedition. I am trying to determine her mother and father. She may have come from Contra Costa County, but was a resident of Sonoma County when she married Guillermo in 1875. Maria was probably born around 1849. [Carol Eber (provisional member), Petaluma, Calif.] Pregunta 582 - 22 November 2009
I'm trying to make my daughter proud of her background - something her
mother's side of the family does not seem to like to talk about. The story goes that some gringos bought 100± horses from him. They then came back to say they needed a receipt in English for the Army. He did not speak English but signed it anyway. The receipt was NOT for horses but for his land. He lost his fight in American courts. His was buried behind the Catholic Church in Gilroy, Calif. by my daughter's great grandma, who was born in the Castro House.
