Dear friends and cousins,

I just uploaded a little file that lists all the valid queries you can make when searching the Birth/Christening records in the IGI.

To see the file you have to log-in first and then select "Files" from the top menu. Next click "Reference Materials" and then select the folder "Searching the IGI". To open the file click on "Using Wildcards"

Joseph, did you see this in the ArchiveGrid? I searched for our area, Tepetongo, and it is listed as far back as 1577. Wonder what it says? I wish I could go to that university in Texas and see.

Joseph,

That article you sent on the Aztec Emperors was part of several indexed in an AOL homepage that lists just about all the royal lineages that ever existed anywhere in the world---Roman, Egyptian, Arthurian, etc., etc. and their descendants. Very interesting. Maybe somebody can trace themselves back to Julius Caesar, the pharoahs, etc.

WITH ALL YOU HAVE BEEN DOING HERE I GO AGAIN ADDING TO THE PILE. I HAD
ASKED ALBERTO TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BUGARIN PHOTOS BUT I
DISCOVERED THE PICS ARE NOT ON THE NEW SITE. ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE

Here's something Charles is passing on to the group. As should be our
norm we should take any leads we get from sources like this as just
that: Leads. Leads should produce a strong desire in us to confirm the
work by seeking the source material it was taken from and "seeing" it
ourselves.



. . .yeah yeah yeah I know I'm just preaching to the choir.



thanks Carlitos,



joseph

I don't know if this is appropriate to address to those planning to go to Salt Lake City in October, but I have a question about the way the IGI works as far as finding the children of women where in the record it says hijo natural or padre no conocido. Maybe someone at the main FHC or Mr. Ryskamp can answer the question.

I just want to express my view and comment about our recent meeting that we had in Southern California.

First of all, I offer my thanks and appreciation to Olivia Jaurequi and her husband for being such wonderful hosts. I can imagine all the hard work and preparation that it took to take care of the group. The food was delicious and plentiful. My only regret is that I started with the Mole, beans, rice, salad,and the tasty Carne Asada and by that time, I had no room for the Menudo and pan dulce! Maybe next time I'll start with the Menudo.

When I was a little girl many years ago (haha)., I can
remember going to weddings here in Kansas City. It
was an all day event. The wedding mass would begin
around 9:00 or 10:00, after mass we would have Mexican
bread and hot chocolate, then around 1:00 to 4:00 they
would have the reception with Chicken & Mole,
tortillas, sopa and of course Mexican music or a
Marichi band, then we would go home and rest and get

Oh, boy, Joseph, I should have thought of format. These
were originally on reel to reel, now on cassette. I
believe I have someone, however, who can get it to MP3
format for me. I'll email you offlist when I've got it and

I called the NARA Public Affairs office this morning to inquire about
whether there would be a Hispanic Genealogy Conference this year, as I
did not see one on the calendar. There is NOT one scheduled - SO FAR

Hi, all,

I just drove home from the FHC in a flurry of snowflakes. The neighborhood looks like a Christmas card what with snow all over the evergreens and lawns, and it is 30 degrees out. Wish I had some menudo to warm me up (really some pork pozole---I don't like tripa). Salmon's on the menu tonight. Maybe I should make some salmon pozole---no that wouldn't do. How's the weather out your way?

Thanks to Kitty Cortez, we now have a collection of forms that you can
use for record extraction.

To view or download these, go to the files section on the new site and
choose reference materials. If you have any forms to add that you think

I am also researching Anchondo from Chih and settled in Texas. Contact me off line since this isn't Ranchos area.

Natalie:
I also belong to the Roseville Genealogical Society and like you most of the other members are researching TN, KY, New England, etc. etc. Only 2 other people in our group of 160 members are researching Mexico. Keep you eyes open for the handouts that your speakers have. Some of them are very helpful if tweaked a bit for Mexico. I already tried to set up a folder called Tools and Forms. See you in April.
