:-)   I was also thinking the same thing.......if we, those that are
interested, each contribute a certain amount of $$$, would Senor Leonardo de la
Torre Berumen do research for us?  I met Senor de la Torre a few years ago
in Jerez and he is a very nice person, very knowledgeable......and a very
sharing person.  I would not hesitate to have him do research for me. 
I really believe we are on to a good thing here......

Joseph; With enough interested parties, $100 may not be
necessary. I know a family that contributes $25 each to do their family line per
month. If there was a coordinated effort to line up all parties/surnames and
locations then it would be possible for the searcher to do each line and make a
good living. Do you agree ?  I wonder if this is a practicable suggestion.
Arturo may be on to something and if it works out then a link will have been
established that we all can follow. We would need to see the film documentation
or it would be valueless.
I would like to hear your take on the matter as I
think that this could blossom.

Arturo what do you suppose a figure would be for this monthly
stipend?
Are you thinking that several of us that might be interested could

contribute to come up with this monthly stipend? Did you get an idea of

what he was talking about?

I wonder how many hours of research $100
would buy me? Well that is all
I'd be willing to contribute. I have a dead
end in Zacatecas, Zacatecas
I need "advice" in knowing how to get
around.

let me know if you think this would buy me something and if so
I'll send
you 5 scanned records that will give you the information he will
need to
do my preliminary investigation.
