Hola,
I'm a bit slow here and just catching up on the
celebrations, food, etc conversation. It reminded me that
I have a recording made in the 1950's of my two
great-great aunts. They discuss life on the rancho in
First of all - WOW!! 134 messages, and it is only the 8th of March!
So much to read - and all of it very interesting. Thanks.
Now - subject question: What genealogical or historical societies do
Wow what a very very very fortunate person I am to have such wonderful
and talented Moderators, Rosalinda and Arturo, to help me sort this
situation we find ourselves in out. Rosalinda and Arturo have taken the
bull by the horns and leave me little to do. I want to say thanks in
public for their excellent help. Thank you Rosalinda Thank you Arturo.
Hi Emilie--
A signature file is a small file attached to the bottom of your emails. It can be personalized with a message, an email address, or other info. You may have one that automatically is included in your emails; however, the website removes them from the posted messages.
Found this on-line - thought you might enjoy it.
ARE YOU A GOOD ANCESTOR?
A good ancestor keeps certificates including birth and death
certificates;
records including health, military, naturalization, and school;
passports;
newspaper and church notices; awards; photos; art and craft work;
journals;
Bibles; diaries; baby, school and wedding books; heirlooms.
He or she dates correspondence, cares for tombstones, keeps research

I tried to respond to the automated request to have your Earthlink service send you a request to approve my e-mails to you. I did not address it to the nobody@earthlink.com, it just did that automatically. I am wondering if you got my response to the e-mail you sent me today, March 7 at 6:23 pm.

Joseph and Arturo,
I believe I was able to load my intro into the nuestros ranchos which I wasn't able to do last night. I guess I also needed to go mimi like Emilie. Emilie that was cute, I didn't know that anyone else used that term "mimi" that we use to say, "It is time to go to bed".
I do have a question though. I first opened my file that was uploaded I belive from yahooranchos to nuestros ranchos. This appears to be the info from who's who and It says this file can be viewed only by you. Why would you need to have that information there to be viewed only by me when I already know what it is, rather than have it posted to be viewed by everyone in nuestrosranchos? Just thinking out loud here.
That is a great idea. You want to take a stab at it and simply create a file folder in the Reference Category called Forms? If you have the files in Word of PDF format, you should be able to easily upload them.
I will check your YahooGroups files to see what would be the simplest way to upload them all.
As far as how far I am from Loudon County, I live right in downtown DC and Loudon County is about 30 miles outside of the city so it is not TOO far. It would be great to meet you.
Hi Arturo
Can we make a folder where we can set up useful forms for all to use?
Examples:
Timeline Form
Extraction Form for Bapt Document
Extraction Form for Marriage Document
Extraction Form for Death Document
Census Form
Confirmation Form
These are forms that I either get at my local Genealogical Society or I have tweaked them a bit to pertain to Mexican Genealogy.
Also, Rich and I have quite a few files on Ranchos Yahoo site. Is there an easy way to transfer them all over or is there a different format to use where we wouldn't need so many files.

Arturo,
Would it be too hard to make the messages posted in the main section be shown in full, instead of having to click the "read more" link?
Also, could you try other fonts to see if the text becomes more readable?
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I know change is a challenge for everyone. It is no easier for me to
change from the Yahoo group format to something different, but change
nonetheless is necessary for our survival.
I see that Rosalinda helped Peggy and Mickey here is my help order:
okay here is the new assignment for all: just be patient and I'll be
with you in a short time. don't fret. . .there is plenty of time and
I'll be with you. here is my list of people to help in the order I'll
help when I get home either today or tomorrow from work:

Thank you, Victor. I will check Gary Felix's page. I have listed on
ybase.org and ysearch.org but have not found any matches. I did find
one close match, from Scotland. The other was Puentes on the
Rancho's Group. Close, but no cigar. I guess I'll just have to hang
around until a match shows up.

Subject: Re: [ranchos] Mickey in Texas
Mickey;
My wife had an uncle named Harold Duff, of Austin Texas. He was an oil man who did very well and lived there in Austin by a lake. He died and now all the people that were related are dead. I want to find him and add the details of his death to our genealogy records. Mickey, who would I contact there to get some information, like what is the name of the Austin news paper, local funeral homes etc. He may have died then was buried next to the rest of his family in Arkansas. He had a big mansion in Austin and some some property in Mexico.
I just ran across some documents attributed to letters from the late Jaime Holcombe. One of the documents has some very valuable information regarding one of my lineages (a very important one because I have five lines going back to these people). I know that Jaime Holcombe passed away some years back but I am wondering if anyone is familiar with his work, would know where to get authoratative copies of it (perhaps with sources) as well as if there is an official repositor of his research that I could contact?

Well, I will go out on a limb here, and offer a pot of frijoles and
arroz to all who make the trip to DC in summer 2007. I live in Fairfax
County, VA, just across the river from Washington, DC., and I would be
honored to break tortillas with you in my home.
