Dear Grupo, You guys need to realize and appreciate how truly blessed you are! You have been able to make family connections and share information. Everyday I read every email, even the ones I struggle with in Spanish. Every week I go to my FHC and find absolutely nothing. If it weren't that the only documented family members are in Panuco, Zacatecas, I'd think I'm in the wrong group! I need to share my experience, because I don't want the group to think that I don't care to share or don't work on my genealogy. It's just not happening. If there are any Santelices, Valerramas, Candelas, or Onates from the 19th to 20th century that I could connect with; I'd love to hear from you. Take care and continued success. Alice

Hi, Peggy Delgado

I tried getting to you through your e-mail, but couldn't.

I see where you have? birth records from a place in Zacatecas. Where were you able to obtain them? My interest is also in Zacatecas, in San Matias, Pinos, but looks like I have run into a stone wall. Haven't met anyone outhere with the same interest.

Like many of you I wish I had known back then what I know now abt saving and citing records.. I am learning from my mistakes and only making new mistakes!

My husband had repeatedly told me to back my files up in a place other than my laptop but I didn't listen so when I turned off my virus scanner and got a worm that wiped out everthing I had entered in the last 6 months I was very depressed.. I had my records from previously backing up 6 months before on a different computer. I lost photo's that I'd taken 2 years collecting from relatives on visits to California and I lost almost 5,000 names. Luckily I did still have the film records so it's been a matter of re-entering them for the past 6 months, a very hard task since I'm not sure what I entered during that time making going over the film notes one by one..

As I went through a few days of emails I noticed questions about the Inquistion I might have some leads for you.
On Sephardic . com the man who hosts the site has cumulated huge book of persons, He used to be very good about e-mailing names in certain locals if he found them in his research. Their are also lists of surnames and how many times in history and it is a good spring board.

When was this place established in Jalisco? On IGI I found a possible match in my ancestry.

As Arturo has already mentioned there is a great need to standardize the

Wow everyone should have a look at the files and members genealogies

Arturo has put a lot of work into making that easier for people to find
each other. It is now alphabitized and so nice looking.

Our membership has grown substantially over the last year. We now have over 150 members, and due to Joseph's diligence, we now have genealogies from every member. This made the Members' Genealogy folder listing a bit long and difficult to use so we have decided to split it up into multiple pages and add alphabetical markers on each of the pages.

I need a favor from all of you. Think of one organization interested in
Texas or Latin American History and tell them about this new conference
that just went live on the http://NuestraFamiliaUnida.com podcast

personally respond to messages sent to this address.

The following is a message from Joseph Puentes:
hi John,

I'm guessing that the name was originally Ojo de Agua de Rosales. Here it is on this map. I would place by place do a place search on the www.familysearch.org site and see which closest location was big enough to support a church.

Cristina do you have a connection in Calvillo for your Avila line? Who is your earliest and latest Avila?

Who do the Velascos descend from in Aguascalientes? Who was the first in the area? After studying about the conquistadores correct if I'm wrong but I think they were all related since they had the same father or grandfather? Can anyone help me with the Velascos.

A small group of Nuestros Ranchos members, residing in Northern California and the Bay Area, meet quarterly to discuss genealogy research. For our last meeting we had a tour of the Bancroft Library led by the Curator of the Western Americana Collection. We normally rotate the location of the meetings.

My Velasco lines that I've traced are Eustacia Velasco born abt. 1830 in Calvillo, Ags. and my other Velasco line is Jose Jesus Velasco born abt. 1820 also in Calvillo.I've found the marriage for Jose Jesus. On IGI, but need to order the film to find his parents.

Enrique,

I checked the site and under Regidor/Parque y Mercado you will find Ingeniero Hector Duran Avelar, he's my first cousin. His mom and my dad (deceased) were brother and sister. My aunt lives in San Jose 75% of the time and in Nochistlan the rest of the time.
