Hi,
I have traced my La Riva line to Tomas Jaquez who married in San Juan Del RIo, Durango in 1689.  The marriage record stated he was from Somberette, Zacatecas.  I guess he was he was born about 1660.  I can't find church records for that period in Somberette.  I suspect the family was French.  I am looking for any information for the early colonial Somberette.  I would like the names of several books just on Somberette.  I know about the mines but outside of the Toolosa and Ybarra familes I do not know about other families living there.  I know by looking at some immigration records, some Jacquez came from Flanders. If anyone can give me any clues or suggestions I would most appreciate it.
