Arturo has created a page of instructions. They are pretty easy to
follow and in two parts. The first part below the URL given for the
instructions on the website itself tells how to get your password. .
.key point here is NOT to create a NEW Account. Read through the
instructions. THEN---THEN---THEN after you get your password and log in
if you want to start sending messages to one of the forums you need to
follow the instructions called: "Instructions for signing up
for the mailing lists is as follows" Here you will see
detailed instructions (very straightforword, but they do require you to
read and follow them) on how to subscribe yourself to the individual
email forums. Basically you subscribe to which ever of the 3 email
forums you want to be part of then you'll get a CONFIRMATION
email that you need to reply to. . .that's it.
Yes this is different than Yahoo but in time you will see that it is
better.
PLEASE READ below. . .very straight forword.
thanks,

Please do NOT create a new account. Your account is already
set up with your YahooGroups userid but you will have to request a new
password in order to log in. The new password will be sent to the email
registerd on your YahooGroups account and once you receive your
password you can log and change it to whatever they like. In order to
do this:
- From the main page, click on “Request New Password” just below
the login area. - Enter your YahooGroups username or the email address registered
on YahooGroups ranchos. - Click on e-mail new password.
- You will receive an email with your new password.

in the email. - Click on “My account” (Second or third sidebar menu item)
- Click on the “Edit” tab and enter new password (in both fields
provided) and click submit. - Review other information in the Account Settings category.
Change your language, time zone, etc. as necessary. Please do NOT
change your email address. During the transition, the email addresses
registered on this site and on YahooGroups must match or messages will
be rejected by one site or another. This restriction will be lifted
once the transition is complete. - Review the information in the Personal Information category.
Enter your name, location and geographic areas and surnames of
research. - Review the Mailing Lists settings, and subscribe to the
mailing lists per the instructions below. This is very important. If

the three mailing lists. You must initially subscribe to receiving all
email or daily digests. Once you have gone confirmed your subscription
(next step) you can change back your settings to “No Email” which
allows you to send messages to the list but not receive any messages
from the list, i.e. you will be able to read messages only by going
onto the website. - You will receive a message asking for confirmation of your
email address for each of the mailing lists to which you subscribe. If
you sign up for all three, you will receive three separate messages.
Simply reply to each message to confirm your subscription. - Once you have registered for a list, the messages that you
post will get distributed to the group. You can post in any of the
three Forums or via email to any one of the three lists and the
messages will automatically get posted to the website and get
distributed to those signed up for the new Nuestros Ranchos list as
well as the old YahooGroups list. The posting addresses are
