I have posted in the links section a new link to Lynn Turner's Hispanic Genealogy blog. The collection of information is very good and includes a link to the Mexico 1930 Census online.
I pretty sure all of you already know about the new website that will be relaunched on September 2008 by our church. I am told that they first will release the digitlized records for the Us. census 1790-1910 and then SEVERAL groups wll be assigned to get feed the master copier to make the records in HD to get the best picture and will actually clean the records for digitilizing.
Hi there Arturo ,
Thanks for this site , I've only just looked at it and it seems pretty good .
On a different note , I used to use the asterisk instead of a first name in Family Search IGI , but as you know they changed a few things on the site . Here's my question " Have you found a new way to duplicate the results from using either the * or the % " ?.
Hello Corrine,
Last night I went to my local FHC to view a microfilm that I had
requested, but got sidetracked when the volunteer asked if I had any
questions. The thought prompted by Tomas's earlier email regarding
I have noticed until now that some films state Hijos Legitimos, Hijos Naturales, Hijos Illegitimos and then just regular baptisms. Im having some truoble becuase im gonna orde rsome films but dont know the difference between these titles..Which one would you order or should i look at all of them? Thank You.
I have an applicant to the group that is trying to find living relatives
in Malpaso. She doesn't appear to want to do genealogical research but
that might change as I communicate with her. I told her to call all the

The Films database is now working correctly again, such that when you click on an IGI or VRI button, the site brings up the entire contents of that film/batch from which you can then refine further by clicking on the "Refine Search" link on the upper right of the screen.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone looked up military records through the Family History catalog and ordered them to their local center? I'd like to look up military records for Zacatecas, for 1865-1885, as my grandfather thinks his grandfather served in Zacatecas. I'd also like to do this through my local family center...can anyone help?
Good morning Esperanza ,
No , unfortunately no one has deciphered the meaning of any of the paintings or the petroglyphs . Jose Garza Carrillo told me that the best indian heads are in La Laguna in Coahuila . He and his son in law have written a book on the paintings and petroglyphs along with students and a professor from a university in the states .
Sorry it took so long Welester, but I have finally uploaded the pictures
I was suppose to upload back in early May.
these pictures are fabulous and everyone should see what our ancestors
were up to many many hundreds of years ago:
Hello,
I've recently joined this group as I have begun researching the ancestors of Juan Vargas (b 1890 in Malpaso, Zacatecas; d 1962 in El Paso, Texas) and his wife Maximina Bautista (b 1898; d 1936 in El Paso, Texas)
Is there a way one can associate ranchos of yesteryear with ranchos of
today, in lieu of name changes to many towns/ranchos/and pueblos as a result of
the revolutionary war?
In particular, I am wondering if I can visit what used to be called Rancho
Hello, I have come to the attention that this is something i need to ask for questioning. As my family knows that in our entire pedigree is really intermarriage my parents, grandparents, grt grandparents, etc... I was wondering why would people marry inside family? I was always confused. I do find it very fascinating though when doing genealogy especially when doing genealogy. because its really fun playing around with the intermarriage. I think of it as a giant puzzle and trying to put it together. Although I did find it confusing at first but then learned alot. I was just wondering why was this a custom or practice? My family still does this. I did also hear someone said if you practice Incestry then the child will become deformed or something like that. But we all have came out perfectly fine. My grandfather said something in the early colonial Mexico they Espanoles would marry inside the family to keep something he called quote "La puresa de sangre" although i do not know what that really means at this moment. He said that they didnt like to mix with Indians or Mulatos. Which is prob a little racist. I hope I can get a response. Thanks for all your help in the past. Thanks to this group I have already made connections with over half tof the group so far. Through the Lopez de Elizalde, Ruiz de Esparza, Trevino, de la Garza, Mendoza, and all the other lines etc.

Hola Tomas,
Nosotros hemos comunicado antes. Tenemos parentesco por los
Gomez (nuestros antecedentes, Manuel Gomez y Catalina
Hurtado-de-Mendoza). Yo me imagino que el Censo Americano podria
asistir en esto. Quizas alguien mas pueda ayudar en como se hace esto.
Tomas Alejandro Villegas Gomez (Vigotal) pide ayuda para investigar sobre familiares que se fueron a Estados Unidos hace unos cien anos y solamente presenta los nombres de 3 personas.
Esta clase de peticion no me parece que entra dentro de los propositos de temas genealogicos de este foro y el no provee informacion acerca de estas personas que pueda ser de ayuda a un investigador (tal como fechas y lugares de sus nacimientos, lugar de procedimiento en Mexico, nombre de los padres, etc.) y bajo esas condiciones tales busquedas globales a traves de una nacion jigante como USA son dificeles/imposibles.
Hola a Todos en el grupo:
Disculpen la molestia, quisiera saber si alguien puede
orientarme para ver la forma de investigar sobre familiares
que se fueron a vivir a Estados Unidos desde las primeras
I'm asking for your comments to be sent to Lynn Turner.

I hope I have done this correctly.This is to Leticia Reynoso ,Where do your Reynoso Lines originate from ? Are your Reynoso ancestors Francisco married to Josepha Renteria (jalisco)or Diego Reynoso married to Margarita Renteria and wed in zacatecas.
I am making the switch from a PC to a Mac... not as extreme as it may seem since the new Macs run Windows and Windows applications natively in addition to Mac operating system and software. But I would like to find some good genealogy software that I can use on the Macintosh side of the system.

Hi,
I have traced the ancestry of some of the Rivas of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to Rivas or de la Riva of Durango and the Quinones of Durango. Antonio Manual and Julian Rivas of Galeana, NL were born in Durango to Pedro Rivas and Maria Quinones who were married in 1723 at San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Del Rio, Durango. The records there only go to the late 1670's. Records for Nazas go to 1690s.
Hello Arturo
I will call you. I emailed you and it was returned. A lot has happened
thus no calls, email....
Will call - left a message for you one day.
