face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> Excuse me for coming late into your conversation on this topic. It's only because my Spanish is so bad that I ask these questions about references you made in your suggested wording if attempting to talk to people in Mexico. In your suggested statement, you make reference to a rancho in Jalisco, would by any chance be referencing Rancho de los Gomez, San Juan Buenaventura, Jalisco, Mexico? My family is from this area which is outside of Tecolotlan. Actually the extended families range from Autlan to Guadalajara. The surnames of the root families are Amador, Flores, Cueva, Torres, and Costillo. Although these names may not ring a bell in the last 150 years, since our families were likely in this area for hundreds of years, we may have been Puente's too. At the turn of the century (20th) the families increased their migration from Jalisco to California. The most recent wave departed Tecolotlan in 1920 and traveled by boat north to San Pablo and then by automobile to Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, California. It was quite dangerous living on the ranch for many of the families during the Mexican revolution. Many of the decedents of the Amador family continue to reside in Santa Maria, CA. Some of the Others from the Amador family continued the migration north to San Francisco. My grandfather Andreas Cueva Flores (married to Maria del Rosario Amador) made his way north to Sacramento, California, just in time for the Great Depression. Now how's that for me making the most out of your wonderful attempt at helping us with the right words in communicating with families that remain in Jalisco, Mexico? Have a great day and drink California wine, Richard Amador Flores In a message dated 5/14/2005 12:34:38 PM Pacific Standard Time, makas@... writes:
