Sorry about being so basic, but I just learned this and who knows but some
of you might not know about it yet.
There are several very nice Research Manuals available online by the LDS
FamilySearch website. Here is a list of the ones I found but there is probably
more:

Just a message of encouragement. what I've been doing is spending my
weekends on the telephone cold calling my different surnames asking if
they might have come from the Santa Maria de Los Angeles/Colotlan,
Jalisco area. Back about 3 months ago I called all the Leaños in El Paso
(8 total) the very first one told me that they came from Jalisco and to
call his relative for more info. I called and it turned out that they
came from the Santa Maria area. It also turned out that of the 6 people
comprising his parents and grandparents that these names were there:
Leaños, Rivas, Castañeda's and Rodarte. The next day I got busy and in a
span of about 5 hours managed to trace the Leaños line back 5
generations. . .but I just could see any connection to our families. I
studied their line a little more that week and sent them what I found. I
didn't hear from them and kind of lost touch with them for a while and
just recently recontacted these family but not the exact person I was
I haven't seen the film, actually I haven't seen anything from Zacatecas
yet. I don't recall seeing this info you sent either. I'll get to it one
day soon I hope. thanks and I'll just continue sitting on the edge of my
seat a little while longer.

Hola,
Yo me llamo Joseph Puentes. . .this group is for the serious
genealogical study of the Ranchos of Jalisco and Zacatecas. I understand
that we might all be at different levels of experience, but I hope we
all strive to be better in our knowledge and skills at using the
resources available to us in 2003 for the study of our Mexican Roots. I
said all that only to say that i hope that if any of you are doing
Genealogy by only trying to find others that have done the work and
incorporate it into your genealogy. . .well I hope you all take it a
step further and start doing some of your own research. Nothing wrong
with finding others who have done a lot of work and then somehow
crossing their path or tieing in but at the same time take that info and
work it a little more. There are always things that need to be
researched. I wish I had a team of 20 people that I could direct in the
study of my personal genealogy. I believe I could keep them busy if
money was no object
I have heard of the Rancho Los Reales, but I don't know where it is exactly. I don't know if I have family from there. There is a lot of Miramontes and Magallanes in the area of Zacatecas near Jalisco. The information I have on my Miramontes family starts about 1860 and earlier. So I won't have information for you unless you have an individual born before 1860. Does you father-in-law know the names of his grandparents? Well I don't know how old your father-in-law is, but more than likely that would be information that I can find in my family if we were related. I don't have Magallanes in my family, but I have done some researching on that name as well, for something else. Anyway, if you find out the names of Victoria's parents, let me know and I could look those up as well in my records. Angie --- In ranchos@yahoogroups.com, Tammy Miramonteswrote: > > Angie, > IN reading the list of names that you have searched for, I saw the name MIRAMONTES.
Yes time will tell who his parents were.
I'm putting the pages to that book by Dr. Platt in the files section.
Also about the Census record I got it off the Colotlan/SantaMaria de Los

I looked over your Romero file, but I really can't tell either way if the couple is the same or not. Guess we won't really know until you find out the names of your Manuel Romero's parents. Where did you find the Suaz de los Marques census? Did you order it? I would like to try and get more information on the couple that were related to me. So any details about the document you have would be greatly appreciated.

fabulous. Great Idea. Is there anyway of setting it up so that the Towns
can be separated. but in the same format you created. great idea. If
someone has the time here are the Batches for Santa Maria de Los
Angeles/Colotlan and Huejucar and Tepechitlan and Tepetongo.

In one of Joseph's notes he talked about creating a list of IGI batches for the ranchos you are researching. With this purpose in mind, I created a database for this group. Just click on the Database link to the left to find it. I added two records to it as a sample you can follow. I hope you find this useful. Maria Cortez
Angie,
IN reading the list of names that you have searched for, I saw the name MIRAMONTES. That is my last name now. My father-in-law was from Zacatecas. His parents names were Aurelino & Victoria (magallanes) Miramontes. I believe the ranch they are from is named Los Reales.
Just wondering if there is any connection here.

Hello, I am new this group. Thanks for letting me join. I noticed
that everyone was giving intros, so I thought I would add mine to the

My name is Angie Godina. I have been working on my family tree since
1998. But I didn't start using the LDS website and films until 2001
so that is when I really started working on researching my
genealogy/ancestors. I have been able to find most of my paternal
and maternal lines up to the early 1700's. They have generally

great thanks for the files and you had me on the edge of my chair a
couple of time with your Juan Manuel Romero marrying Ana Maria Casas. I
have a Manuel Romero marrying a Mariana de Casas but the time frame
looks to be later than your couple. My Manuel grandparent had at least
two children: Tomas and Simon Romero. there is a chance we're related.
I'm putting my Romero file back into the files section right away so you
can see who I'm talking about.

Well I guess it is our turn for a formal introduction. Rich and I live in Rocklin, California which is about 35 miles NE of Sacramento. Rich retired in 1999 after 35 years with HBFuller and I retired in 2001 after 10 years with Herman Miller. We now spend our spare time stomping through cemeteries. In the last 3 years, we have found my ancestors from my mother's side, in Loudoun, VA, Somerset, PA, Kalamazoo, MI, Beatrice, NE and Wickenburg, AZ. One of these days we will get down to Jalisco, and Zacatecas, Mex. Rich and I started on his genealogy in the mid 70's. Fortunately we were able to start while his parents were still alive. The information received then gave us a good basis to start with. At that time everything was done by hand so listing all those siblings of his parents took awhile. Both his parents had at least 12 brothers and sisters. Currently he still has two aunts, one from each of his parents still living within 100 miles of where we live

just a quick note before I run off to work. a cousin of mine who used to work for the FBI was concerned about Identity theft. Now I've gone ahead and removed all my PDF files from the group and I'll repost them with with new ones that go from my deceased grandparents back just so as we get more people in the group I can say honestly to concerned relatives that i am not revealing any "mothers maiden names" for any living relatives.

Okay the first step is to have the Address to the Family Search website:
http://www.familysearch.org
once there we're going to have a look around and see there is a gold mine
of Genealogical information on the site. But today we're going to get specific
in what we're trying to do and that is find info on Jamay, Jalisco and where
"my local Family History Center is."
First of all I don't know where you live so I'll just show you how to use
the site so you can find the closest one.
After you bring: http://www.familysearch.org up go to the right side of
the page and click on "Library." Then click on "Family History Centers."
and fill in the info and hopefully there will be one close to you. Most larger
communities have them as there are several many hundreds or even thousands
around the states.
okay now back to how to find the Jamay info. Okay you can get back to the
home page and then click on "Library" again then click on "Family History
Library Catalog." From there on this
go to this link and find the state maps section and you'll pull up some
very nice maps showing the boundaries between the Estados.

their extensive library of Mexico Phone books. . .let me know)

Oops I spoke to quickly and saw the file. I opened it and am a little

ones are on permanent file in downtown SLC and that the others are

did I get the right understanding or ??? thanks, Joseph
