I thought that the copies were the ones in Mexico City at the Archivo de la
Nacion? At least that is what I heard a long time ago. I never heard that
each church was to get one. Also, do you mean $3.00...30.00?

(Espanol sigue abajo)

I know this is an often repeated announcement around here, but since we have so many new members and the activity on the list has heated up, I figured I should repeat it.

Please, please trim your messages. When you reply to a posting via email, if you have your email set to include the message to which you are replying as part of the message, delete all but that part of the message which is necessary to provide context. Often nothing is necessary other than an appropriate subject for the reply message. When replies get posted online, they get posted along with the messages to which they are responding, so there is no need to repeat text. Such repetition makes the message very, very illegible.

Hola a Todos

Ojalá que alguno de Uds. pueda ayudarme a conseguir el tomo IV de " Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia " en él se encuentra la genealogía de los Navarro de Tepatitlán. Si alguien lo tiene y no lo quiere vender, tal vez me pueda hacer el gran favor de escanear las páginas tocantes a esa familia, que tengo entendido fué una de las primeras 117 que llegaron a Los Altos de Jalisco a mediados del siglo XVI.

Taking Site Offline for Upgrading

Fri, 02 May 2008 05:32:10 -0700

Joseph and I have been talking about upgrading the site. The site was built two years ago and since then, there have been many improvements to the underlying "content managament system" that serves as the core for the site.

I just posted an updated file of my records on Rootsweb.com. If you enter my uncle " Rito Castanon 1919" it will pull up my personal family tree then you can go to index and search for whatever surname you are researching. The records cover mostly District of Jerez Zacatecas and related areas, Zapotlan El Grande/Ciudad Gusman, Tamazula de Gordiano and other related cities in Jalisco and Chilchota and related cities in Michoacan.
