Oh, boy, Joseph, I should have thought of format. These
were originally on reel to reel, now on cassette. I
believe I have someone, however, who can get it to MP3
format for me. I'll email you offlist when I've got it and

Will there be a Who's who component on Nuestros Ranchos like there is
on Yahoo Ranchos Group? Or another way to search who elso is
reaearching same/similar surnames?
Just wondering. Thanks for all of your work in setting up the new

I called the NARA Public Affairs office this morning to inquire about
whether there would be a Hispanic Genealogy Conference this year, as I
did not see one on the calendar. There is NOT one scheduled - SO FAR

Hi, all,

I just drove home from the FHC in a flurry of snowflakes. The neighborhood looks like a Christmas card what with snow all over the evergreens and lawns, and it is 30 degrees out. Wish I had some menudo to warm me up (really some pork pozole---I don't like tripa). Salmon's on the menu tonight. Maybe I should make some salmon pozole---no that wouldn't do. How's the weather out your way?

Thanks to Kitty Cortez, we now have a collection of forms that you can
use for record extraction.

To view or download these, go to the files section on the new site and
choose reference materials. If you have any forms to add that you think

I am also researching Anchondo from Chih and settled in Texas. Contact me off line since this isn't Ranchos area.

I also belong to the Roseville Genealogical Society and like you most of the other members are researching TN, KY, New England, etc. etc. Only 2 other people in our group of 160 members are researching Mexico. Keep you eyes open for the handouts that your speakers have. Some of them are very helpful if tweaked a bit for Mexico. I already tried to set up a folder called Tools and Forms. See you in April.

Hola,
I'm a bit slow here and just catching up on the
celebrations, food, etc conversation. It reminded me that
I have a recording made in the 1950's of my two
great-great aunts. They discuss life on the rancho in

First of all - WOW!! 134 messages, and it is only the 8th of March!
So much to read - and all of it very interesting. Thanks.

Now - subject question: What genealogical or historical societies do

Wow what a very very very fortunate person I am to have such wonderful
and talented Moderators, Rosalinda and Arturo, to help me sort this
situation we find ourselves in out. Rosalinda and Arturo have taken the
bull by the horns and leave me little to do. I want to say thanks in
public for their excellent help. Thank you Rosalinda Thank you  Arturo.

Found this on-line - thought you might enjoy it.

ARE YOU A GOOD ANCESTOR?

A good ancestor keeps certificates including birth and death
certificates;
records including health, military, naturalization, and school;
passports;
newspaper and church notices; awards; photos; art and craft work;
journals;
Bibles; diaries; baby, school and wedding books; heirlooms.

He or she dates correspondence, cares for tombstones, keeps research

I tried to respond to the automated request to have your Earthlink service send you a request to approve my e-mails to you. I did not address it to the nobody@earthlink.com, it just did that automatically. I am wondering if you got my response to the e-mail you sent me today, March 7 at 6:23 pm.

Emilie

Joseph and Arturo,

I believe I was able to load my intro into the nuestros ranchos which I wasn't able to do last night. I guess I also needed to go mimi like Emilie. Emilie that was cute, I didn't know that anyone else used that term "mimi" that we use to say, "It is time to go to bed".

I do have a question though. I first opened my file that was uploaded I belive from yahooranchos to nuestros ranchos. This appears to be the info from who's who and It says this file can be viewed only by you. Why would you need to have that information there to be viewed only by me when I already know what it is, rather than have it posted to be viewed by everyone in nuestrosranchos? Just thinking out loud here.

That is a great idea. You want to take a stab at it and simply create a file folder in the Reference Category called Forms? If you have the files in Word of PDF format, you should be able to easily upload them.

I will check your YahooGroups files to see what would be the simplest way to upload them all.

As far as how far I am from Loudon County, I live right in downtown DC and Loudon County is about 30 miles outside of the city so it is not TOO far. It would be great to meet you.

Hi Arturo
Can we make a folder where we can set up useful forms for all to use?
Examples:
Timeline Form
Extraction Form for Bapt Document
Extraction Form for Marriage Document
Extraction Form for Death Document
Census Form
Confirmation Form

These are forms that I either get at my local Genealogical Society or I have tweaked them a bit to pertain to Mexican Genealogy.

Also, Rich and I have quite a few files on Ranchos Yahoo site. Is there an easy way to transfer them all over or is there a different format to use where we wouldn't need so many files.
