Etzatlan and the 1930 census (Brady Umfleet

Lynn,

I am one of those (7,000) Beta testers of the Pilot for FamilySearch Labs'
"Record Search", and when Brady indicated his accessing the 1930 Mexico
Census data at familysearch.org , it raised a question about an alternate
way to consult this census that I might not have been aware.

Those focusing on Jalisco may want to note that, officially, the State of
Jalisco is divided/composed of 126 "municipalities" and, for personal
assistance in my continuing research through Jalisco and Mexico records, I
have compiled a comparison listing of those Jalisco municipalities
presently listed in the "Record Search Browse Collection" of the 1930
Mexico Census being tested.

The Jalisco portion of the Browse Collection in the Pilot includes 107 of
these municipalities, with 29 not listed in the Collection (missing or
"lost" as you previously very ably indicated), and 6 areas that I will call
"comarcas" that are not designated as official municipalities (Amatitan,
Arenal, Ayo el Chico, Ciudad Guzman, Purificacion, and Villa Obregon).

In the near and anxiously-awaited future, Mexico genealogy researchers will
have available a very important new tool with the ability to consult and
view online images of its1930 census records. We can all be very thankful
to the LDS Church for this project and all of its Family History efforts, -
- - and to Lynn for her interest in keeping the Nuestros Ranchos 'family'
informed about this program, and her clarifications and updates.
