Amigos:
My name is Natalie Castro Coleman, and I was
graciously accepted to the ranchos group in late
January.  I live in northern Virginia, near
Washington,DC.  I was born and raised in southern
California (Los Angeles/near Boyle Heights; and
Cucamonga), but have lived in Virginia for over 30
yrs.  My father was born at Hacienda Astillero,
Valparaiso, Zacatecas in 1912.  He came with his
family to the U.S. in 1916.  I have not done any
in-depth research in over 10 yrs., but have decided to
work on this family history - especially for my
grandchildren. If I am doing this correctly (I am not
a computer techie, and can only do the most
rudimentary of tasks) there should a message attached
that explains a little about my family heritage. So I
will close for now - I am happy to join so many
friendly and helpful people.  Take care - have a great
weekend.
- Natalie
Note: forwarded message attached.
