Hello all. I'd like to share a short personal anectdote, which I am sure most of you will appreciate.

My grandfather visited us this week; he lives in norther California, we live in Southern California. Basically, I started my research after his visit last summer, when I interviewed him on his family history. It had been a year since I last saw him and had not shared any of my genealogical research because I wanted to share the details with him in person.

I seem to have mental block, can someone tell me if Rincon de Romos is in Jalisco or Zacatecas?

thanks, Linda in B.C.

José Rincón Gallardo y Doblado, que casó con Emilia Aburto, eran los padres de mi abuelo Fernando Rincon Gallardo Aburto,que casó Maria Galup y Santiago Sañudo padres de Patricia Rincon Sañudo < mi madre.

I have a lookup request for anyone who has a copy of Luz Montejano
Hilton's book.

Guenter,

Bon voyage tomorrow. How exciting your trip sounds.

I found the link above that I found in your message below to be very enlightening about how one can possibly trace ancestors in Europe, not through church records that only go back to the Reformation in the 1400s, but through tax books, court records, minutes of manorial systems, subject lists, soldiers' pay books, mercenary lists, prisoner lists, etc. I also now understand how knights (professional soldiers) went into civil service as castellans (royal military civil servants, with no royal titles, of the sovereigns).

Hi, All:
I had gotten some information from the LDS Family Search Site, on the
International Genealogical Index, IGI, and had used it to guide my research
and to add to my ancestral chart I put on this site. It is in regards to

Que tal, Victor,

Tratare de contestar tus preguntas. Los centros locales no cobran por sus servicios en general. Cobran por alquilar microfilms y cobran por hacer copias en papel. Muchos, pero no todos los centros tiene el equipo para hacer copias digitales. En caso que no uno siempre puede utilizar su camara digital o llevar la hoja a un lugar que tenga scanner. Todas las partidas que se encuentran en las listas en catalogo se han filmado. Hay que tener en cuenta que algunos informes parroquiales no estan completas. Es necesario alquilar el microfilm en persona. Te llegara una noticia por correo o telefono ya que llega el film.

Victor,

Lo que sugiere David Delgado de ir al Centro de Historia Familiar de
los Mormones es muy buena sugerencia. Consulte yo el Catalogo de los
Mormones y resulta que ellos cuentan con 87 rollos de microfilm de

Hola a los dos ,

Irma , aqui te presento con Antonio Santillan lo conozco del grupo Nuestros Ranchos ( un grupo de genealogia ) .

Antonio , aqui te presento con Irma Garcia Santillan ya te dige como la conozco .

There have been a number of members who have recently been "unsubscribed" from the mailing lists or have stopped getting email messages from the list.

One reason we have identified for this is the server being used to send out the listserv messages is a dedicated listserv server that hosts mailing lists for a number of different organizations, not just Nuestros Ranchos. All such messages come stamped with the server name and IP and the server has been put on a "black list" of anti-spam filters.

To Juan Carlos Aguayo
I apologize for adding to the immense quantity of messages on this site. I prefer communicating with only those to whom my research is relevant, but I don't have your individual e-mail address.

Claudia-----I think the link I sent didn't work because it is from a group list of articles from scholarly journals that is sent to me (I subscribed for it). Here is the page that was sent to me. Maybe if you search for it you can subscribe. This article was free, but some I have to pay for. I will try to send the PDF file to your e-mail account. Sorry about that.

Hola, Daniel:

Me alegro de que seas español pues así no tendrás ningún problema porque me dirija a ti en tu lengua materna, esta bella lengua española. En principio, tienes mucha razón: en México existe racismo. No a nivel oficial, en ningún documento encontrarás que tengas que anotar la “raza” de nadie, pero sí como un pesado atavismo que nos dejó el eurocentrismo desde la época colonial. Un atavismo que afecta muchas relaciones informales y no pocas formales, aunque nadie estaría dispuesto a confesarlo. Si tú no conoces el país y ves la televisión mexicana, por ejemplo, pensarás que en México hay un elevado porcentaje de la población con ojos claros. No es un problema exclusivamente mexicano, lo verás en general en Latinoamérica. Los comerciales de la televisión peruana, como otro ejemplo, te harían pensar que la población del Perú es muy similar a la de Dinamarca. Asimismo en Colombia, donde hay un elevado porcentaje de población negra. Si tú ves un comercial de la televisión colombiana no habrá un negro pero ni pasando por allá lejos. En cambio, como paradoja, observa a los jugadores de la Selección Colombiana de Fútbol.

Hola amigos de Nuestros Ranchos,

on the 15th of this month we will go again to the homeland of my family to preside among others an international competition of high school students in history from Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. The title will be: "Silesian Castles and Palaces". The event will take place at Schloss Tannhausen http://www.jedlinka.pl/ . I will represent the family Boehm, owners until the end of Wold War II in 1945.

In light of recent discussions on this site about ethnicity in Mexico, here is an interesting article titled "Extended Family Integration Among Euro and Mexican Americans: Ethnicity, Gender, Class" that I thought might be interesting to those of us in the US with Euro and Mexican ancestors. (Requires PDF reader).

Victor,

Lo que yo sugiero es que vayas al Centro de La Historia Familiar mas cercana. Alli puedes pedir el microfilm de los matrimonios en Encarnacion para los anyos 1871-1900. Recuerda que no todos los microfilmes tienen un indice correspondiente. Luego puedes leer el micro y estudiar el informe. Tardan mucho los filmes para llegar pero vale la pena. Especialmente en tu situacion.

Joseph, I have both, Gutierrez and Dias in my mother's side of the family; however, they are from Ocotlan and surrounding areas. I was just curious if San Juan de Los Lagos was close to Guadalajara, if so we could have a connection at some point.

I guess I don't really need the actual record but would like to know if anyone in the group might have this couple in their database AND more importantly if you know Francisco's parents:

Joseph,

I have not received any email from Nuestros Ranchos since last weekend. As
far as I know, nothing in my system has changed. I've been getting other
email as usual. However, it is possible that a disruption in service from

I wanted to share the fact that I was recently contacted by a priest in the Peoria, Illinois diocese for some help confirming the relationship of some men in the diocese to Saint Cristobal Magallanes Jara. He had found my database online and I was able to trace the men's mother's ancestry back to a shared common root to the Saint. Father Jared was kind enough to mention me in his article in the Catholic Post.
