Joseph,

You forgot part of the history where on the order of Onate, Vicente Zaldivar bushwhacked my ancestor

the DELGADOS in ZACATECAS

Gentlemen,

To be honest, I am having a bit of trouble with the instructions. According to instructions I am suppose to send you the information I am currently researching.

I want to be sure this is the right place, as I had already sent in a sample of about 4 or 5 generations of the family I am working on.

Archivo General de la Nacion Mexico and familysearch.org

I have records/data from the Archivo General de la Nacion (Valparaiso, Sombrerete, Zacatecas, etc) which I find very helpful.

Conquista del Reino de Nueva Galicia en la América Septrentrional

The Library of Congress has a lot of documents, books and manuscripts on their website. One manuscript of particular interest to this group is the title in my subject line, written by Mexican lawyer, Matias de la Mota Padilla in 1742. It is hand-written, but very legible. It contains a lot of names of people and places dating from the Conquest to 1742 in Nueva Galicia. The link to the Library of Congress is already in the links section. You can find the book by clicking on "Collections" and then browsing through the list of Selections from the National Library of Spain.

Grupo sol y Mar

Just a little Mexican musical history lesson for you...if you are interested in this music, you can refer to my two sites, www.elsondelpueblo.com or www.gruposolymar.net. John Robles

John,

Too bad I didn't know you were in this group sooner. I have heard it advertised on the radio here in San Jose and not knowing what type of musical instruments or type of music, I never gave it a thought. The next time you are going to be in the San Jose area, please do let us know so we can come to your performance and hopefully meet up with you.
