Hi again!

Marge, I did go through your files…and was
caught by the one on Altagracia Gonzalez. Do you have
any info on Cenobio Gonzalez’s extended family?

My name is
Connie Dominguez and I've just joined the Ranchos Groups. I

look forward
to learning a lot and sharing whenever I can.  I have

compiled a
lot of information over the past 9 years since I embarked

on this
journey...so much so that I can't keep a good handle on it.

Recently, I
lost all of my old Word documents (things I'd compiled,

lists,
copies of emails & posts, etc.) in a computer crash. A few

paper copies
that I had just happened to print out survived. I will

try to
reproduce or scan (bit by bit) what I feel might be useful to

the
group. 



I began
working on my own family tree and slowly began to branch out

to help
others. What was once a light hobby became much more. I began

corresponding
with many researchers, including some in this group, and

began
learning and helping.  I welcomed challenges from fellow

researchers
and tried to answer as many as I could. In fact, I began

researching/answering
so many requests from others that it's been

years since
I've actually worked on my direct family lines.  :-) 



I also began
a 'small project' (or so I thought) in an effort to get

the big
picture of the founding families of Aguas. I decided to

extract the
baptisms, marriages and burials for Españoles from the

parish
records of El Sagrario in Aguascalientes, Aguas., for the 17th

century. 
(I extracted only Esp. or those having similar names or

mixed
marriages only because most designated 'indios' or 'esclavos' in

the books
did not carry surnames, and because my lines had previously

been
classified as 'españoles'). However, with this extraction came

the tendency
to begin linking families and compiling the data.

Eventually,
I went back to the beginning and compiled family group

sheets for
every married couple and filled in as many children as I

could. I am
still in the thick of this process.  I was right...I do

have a much
bigger picture of the families of Aguas., but in some

ways it's
too big!  I intend to publish this information eventually

and add
other compilations I've made in the book's appendices.



I will
upload the specific surnames I am researching linked to their

places and
times.  Likewise I will try to retrieve posts I may have

added to
other lists and post them here if I feel they might be

helpful. 
I've added my surname list to the Who's Who section of

this group
if you have any questions or can offer any assistance with

those names.



Happy
Hunting!



Connie
