Test Site

Hi,

I'm getting further and further behind on creating folders for and then
uploading NEW members genealogies to them.

Eventually the process will take 1 hour or less per week on average.

Greetings: At one time I saw on the FHC site that copies of individual records could be ordered in lieu of ordering films. Now I cant locate this and someone had also commented that copies could be ordered.

Hello Everyone!

I've just joined the group; having found it through a couple of search engines.

I am researching my wife's family. Her maternal grandmother, Maria Eutiquia Escobar (b. 1883), is from Aguascalientes. Her ancestors have roots in Aguascalientes (Aguascalientes), Zacatecas (Trancoso, Pinos), and Jalisco (Lagos de Moreno). My wife's father's family (Lara) is from Guanajuato, as is her materal grandfather (Eutiquia's second husband, Juan Navarro).

Hello Everyone!

I have just joined the group. I have been reading some of your research work and it is quite impressive. You are all so very helpful to everyone and look forward to communicating with all of you.

Dear Rudy,

The following are microfilms I have on permanent loan at the Family History Center:

281,017 Bautismos de hijos legítimos 1769-1801 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico

I have updated my FAMILY TREE files which include BANUELOS, CARLOS, COVARRUBIAS , DE ESCOBEDO, DE LEON, DEL REAL, ENRIQUEZ, FLORES, QUESADA, SANDOVAL, and VILLANEDA.

Does anyone know of anywhere someone can access, Mexican Newspaper archives, without having to goto the Newspaper in Mexico?

thanks,
Jonathan Walker

Wow Welester,

He MUST have an amazing memory! I can barely remember whom I spoke with
yesterday!

Special saludos to him and to the gentleman in the photo, who made my trip
most memorable.

Hi, I'm researching the surnames Rivas, Valdez,Llanos, Salas, and Flores
from the Val Paraiso, Zacatecas area. I have been working on a family tree
and some research has led me to these names and a consistent occupation

Gary, I was looking the information you submited and we have an Apodaca line that matches, we both descend from Jose Antonio APODACA. I´d like to be in contact with you and look forward.

Best regards.

Hello everybody:

I see many of you search families in Jalpa, Zac. but I don't find any match with your lastnames, however, as you have been searching in those records, I would like to ask you if you have seen VITELA in Jalpa? My grand-father was born there in 1866 - 68 and his name was Francisco Vitela, his parents were Gorgonio/Aurelio Vitela and Fermina/Emigdia Lopez (I found them with two different names both). It has been difficult to me to find more information. I have read several microfilms and nothing comes up. What I found in IGI were many Vitela from Miguel Auza, Zac. (Mezquital del Oro) but among the many names no-one matches my G-Grand-parents Gorgonio and Fermina. I haven´t been able to relate them. As I found many Vitelas there by the same years (1850-1870) y think they may be relatives, but I haven´t conffirm that.

Hi, Roberto:
Isn't it great to get reorganized? I am doing just that very same thing. I
got bogged down by too much information and not enough organization.

Good to hear you are back with us. My family is also from Los Altos, though

Hi Rick,

Hope all is well in Valle de Guadalupe. I just wanted to follow up and see if
you had an update on the video from the conference down there in August. Drop
me a line when you get a chance. I'm very interested in getting a copy.

Amelia, below are the available church and civil records. All you have to do
is request the films from any Family History Center in an LDS church. There
is a nominal charge for each film $6.00 per film. You do not have to be a

Hi everyone,
I'm Roberto Martinez, until recently an inactive member of Nuestros Ranchos for a while. I'm proud to say that I've reorganized myself and have been busy with the family history research these last couple of months. After (more than) a little help from my NuestrosRanchos and months of hard work, I'm proud to announce that my files are updated. At least 95% of my work is focused in Los Altos de Jalisco.

Amelia,

I sent you an e-mail last week. I can help you with all your names below. Call me.

Thanks Letricia, I will look in the 1930 Mexico census for relatives. I am not having much luck making the right connections with either of my family lines ( Villalobos or Olivars) maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

I agree with you Claudia.  Oral history is important and can be an absolute genealogical goldmine of information.  Without the little "leads" that my grandparents gave me I'm not sure I would have done as well as I have in my search.  While the search of my Spanish/French/Mexican roots on my grandfather's side has been slow going I've gained so many new cousins on my U.S. born "southerner" grandmother's side.  After I traced it backwards - and the oral history proved to be a checking point for the records I pulled - to the 1500s I then traced it forward and found lots of new cousins...Cousins I have been able to share photographs both old family photos from the 1800s & 1900s and current ones.  It was imazing to be able to see a photograph of my grandmother's great grandmother! And to find grandchildren, great grandchildren & great great grandchildren of my grandmother's long lost aunt.  Oral histoy is what ignited my search and helped send me

Hola a todos, soy nuevo en el grupo y estoy investigando a mis ancestros que vivieron en La Barca, Jalisco

La información que he logrado recopilar se encuentra publicada en http:/castanedadelreal.myheritage.com; de momento la información con la que cuento esta basada solamente en información verbal y en consultas en la base de datos de FamilySearch.

This goes to anyone that can help me help someone else .

Some of you may know or have heard of the famous Sisters ( Nuns ) who are the caretakers of just about all the really old books from the state of Nuevo Leon , Mexico .

Wow, I googled it and got many hits. Thanks....perhaps it was misspelled.

I glanced at the entries regarding the whole Thomas Edison debate and I couldn't go to bed without imparting my two cents.

I think that in this day and age--and with the information available to us--we must stop perpetrating unproved myths and folklore. At the very minimum for the sake of the credibility of our own hard work and efforts in researching our past.

I can't seem to find anyone alive with this last name. This was my
greatgrandmother's maiden name.

Thanks
