TEST SITE - DO NOT USE - Development only

okay we're doing pretty good. I just counted and 28 out of the 58
members have sent me their genealogies. I won't be happy until we have a
bare minimum of 75%.

In 6 months we will meet this goal.

set your calendars for March 1, 2004.

30 of you need to either contact me privately with your reasons or
submit your genealogies.

I have posted vintage photo's of my family, maybe some of you will 
reconize them. Look under Ttwobraids People. Enjoy.. Ttwobraids

A fabulous thank you must go out to Gloria Delgado for this wonderful
link. Now if any of you all have favorite or just plain good links to
anything from our area of research or that possibly would assist us in
our research please send them to me so I can put a link up in the links
section.

thanks again Gloria!!!

Hello, Ola, Dag o te' Ciao, Miyuu, 

Greetings to all, just joined the group and am hoping to be not only 
of help but to make connections. Ttwobraids

  Hello; I have an ancestor that was born in "Lagos de Moreno" 
Mexico. I think that it may be near or in the state of Jalisco. I am 
not sure. I just need to know what state in Mexico it is in.

a while back Maria Cortez sent us this website URL:
http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm

I would strongly urge those of us in the group that consider themselves
"beginning" genealogists to pay a close visit to this great Diccionario.

One way I am using it is to find the Main City or town close to my area
of research and looking it up. You'll find that very many of the small
ranchos are listed under the "cabecera" of the area. Other than the
baptism record [which was good enough by itself] this dictionary and
another I found at Duke University have confirmed that El Rancho de los
Negros where my GG Grandfather Cecilio Puente was born is indeed in the
Villanueva, Zacatecas area.

You can also use this to compare the typed names on the page with any
possible hard to read names on the handwritten documents we are reading.

Joseph

I'm not sure who all might have Villanueva, Zacatecas Films. If any of
you do I'd surely appreciate a look up for any one or possibly two of
the following:

1. JOSE JUAN FRANCISCO PUENTE FRAUSTO - International Genealogical
Index Gender: Male Christening: 17 MAY 1867 San Judas Tadeo, Villanueva,
Zacatecas, Mexico

2. LUCIANO DEL CARMEN PUENTE FRAUSTO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 10 JAN 1869 San Judas Tadeo, Villanueva,
Zacatecas, Mexico

3. MARIA ERACLIA PUENTE FRAUSTO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 11 JUN 1865 San Judas Tadeo, Villanueva,
Zacatecas, Mexico

4. MARIA NICOLASA PUENTE FRAUSTO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 31 OCT 1870 San Judas Tadeo, Villanueva,
Zacatecas, Mexico

	5. MICAELA PUENTE FRAUSTO - International Genealogical Index

Gender: Female Christening: 03 OCT 1871 San Judas Tadeo, Villanueva,
Zacatecas, Mexico

Its not critical that I have a fotocopy of the record. . .I'm just
wondering if I should go fishing in this area and have a strong feeling
that this is my line of Puente's.

Ola to all Ranchos Members,
My name is Yolanda Gomez, and I am married to Jose Nicolas Gomez.
Jose was born in Mexticacan, Jalisco. Mexico in 1947, and we still 
visit Mexticacan, Yahulica, Los Charcos, Jalostitlan, etc.
I will post his genealogy, which is only to his great-great parents, 
however he has the names of aunts and uncles of his parents and 
grand-parents. His grandfather is still alive and lives near 
Mexticacan. Both his parents are still alive, however they relocated 
to Guadalajara, however remain in close contact with family and 
friends in Mextcicacan, Yahulica, etc.
I hope to learn from each of you.
Yolly

What this PhD Thesis has to do with genealogy. . .I'm not sure. but
since there were several in the group from the Los Altos area I thought
I'd put it out strictly as FYI:

TI: A DIALECT AND FOLKLORISTIC STUDY OF TEXTS RECORDED IN LOS ALTOS OF
JALISCO, MEXICO

AU: ROBE-STANLEY-L
DN: PHD
DD: 1950
SN: THE-UNIVERSITY-OF-NORTH-CAROLINA-AT-CHAPEL-HILL (0153)
PG: 1
LA: ENGLISH
SU: Language-and-Literature-General (0586)
SO: VOLUME W1950 OF DISSERTATION ABSTRACTS INTERNATIONAL. PAGE 206.
NO: AAI0173544

====================

I guess that brings me to talk about the Database that can be found on
most University database collections:

Dissertation Abstracts

Good one if you want to see what Thesis and Dissertations have been
written about your particular area of interest.

Hi everyone,

Angie, I went to the web site and found all of that lovely 
information.  Thank you very much.

I did have a question. In your letter, you list Maria Santos Godina 
Ramos' great-grandparents, but you didn't list her parents or 
grandparents nor could I find that on the web site.  May I have that 
information?

As for the Huizar and the Germany connect.... I know that there were 
van Huizen in Leeuwarderadeel, Friesland, Netherlands from (1810 to 
1888). Of course, they may still be there, but the last date I have 
is 1888. I have been told that this is very near the Germany and 
Netherlands border.

Jan AEtze van Huizen (1810-1880)
wife: Elske Halbes Algra
 Son: AEtze Jan van Huizen (1839-1883)
 wife: Ytje Haitzes Haitsma
    Daughter: Elsie van Huizen (1869-1971)was my great-grandmother 
from my father's family.

So, for me, it would be interesting to find a connection.

Thank you,
Roseholly

I have heard similar stories regarding Huizar with German roots, 
except the I was told the original spelling may have been Wisar or 
Wizar.  I have not found any documented proof so I don't know how 
valid those stories are.  There is a city in Europe(I can't remember 
which country, maybe Spain?) called Guisar or Guizar, which seemed to 
be a more popular spelling of Huizar before 1800's.  So I wonder if 
there is any correlation with the surname and the city?

Right now until the 21st Yahoo is storing Attachments in the message
archives along with the messages that had them included. After the 21st
Yahoo will be removing the attachments before archiving. So if you
receive a message from the group and if it has an attachment save it to
your hardrive if its of interest to you because after the 21st you won't
be able to retreive it from the message archives [the message will be
there but the attached attachment won't].

see you all in a few days,
joseph
