Added Introduction

Corrine,

I moved this thread over to the research list.

Also I will be looking for the new members to submit their genealogies
by 31 Jan 2007 I'm sure by then you'll have a made great progress in the
group with regards to your Martin del Campo surname, but if nothing else
what you have submitted here would be enough to meet the sending in your
representative tree requirement. So when you are ready you can put the
following into a "Word" document. Make a folder for yourself following
the exact format you will find in the "Files" and "Members Genealogies"
area of the group and enter the Word document. By doing that you will
never have to worry about whether or not your have met the requirement
for membership in the group because it will be done.

As for Martin del Campo sorry I'm not one or from the Los Altos area but
there are many good researchers in the group that are.
