I hadn't checked the Roots Television site in a while, so I'm not sure how long this has been on. In this program, host Sharon DeBartolo Carmack interviews George R. Ryskamp, author of "Finding Your Hispanic Roots" (4-part interview; interview preceded by a commercial). Check the interview here:

Yes, I spoke to Clara and she did a search.... they were not in that church, so they are doing a search in all the other churches in that area. I offered to pay them extra if they would do this for me, since I cannot go there and do the search myself. I will call them (Carla and her sister Viola) Monday and see what they cam up with.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I just got off the phone with Carla that will do the search for me, and it will be just $7.00 per baptizim. This is the closest that I have ever gotten to the search of my mothers brothers and sisters. I sure hope they find them. I won't know until Friday when I call her.

Does anyone know where I can find a website or book about the current living descendants of Moctezuma? Thanks. I love this group so much, we all have helped each other. Any Info. is appreciated. -Dani

Need someone in the group to hunt this person down and invite them to
join the group:

Here's an interesting website that has an article on Eva Longoria and her roots: http://www.genealogymagazine.com/evalongoria.html Enjoy! Marge:)

Can anyone help me, with el Archivo General de la nacion, How to use it, i find it very confusing. Thanks.

This is an answer to an old question I had about the origin of Catarina Jauregui, a search tip and some thank yous. I think I have found the answer to Ojo de Agua on the Marriage of Catarina Jauregui and Julian Alviso. Ojo de Agua was a rancho in the jurisdiction of Tepatitlan.

Is anyone on the list researching the La Croix area which is close to
Cd. Guzman and Tonaya? If so and and if you are interested I've got a
person doing Chavez research that is not a member of the group.

There is new content on the http://NuestraFamiliaUnida.com site:

1) In the Archaeology section hear a very high caliber presentation by
Dr. George Stuart titled, "Discovering the Maya":
http://nuestrafamiliaunida.com/podcast/archeology.html#dm

The Archivo General de la Nacion in Mexico City has put its revised and more complete catalogue online. One is now able to search through content in a much simpler manner than in the previous ARGENA III database. There is a left hand frame with all of the search results organized by collection and descriptions of the documents appear on the right hand frame when a document is clicked.

in the application for membership there is one area needing
clarification because so so so so many new applicants are not putting in
the correct information: "Surnames Researching:**"

Can you all think of a very short phrase that would convey the message

Hello All,

Several weeks ago, I posted a announcement about a weekly Hispanic/Mexican Research class, that I would be teaching. Several of you stated an interest in taking the class.

I just wanted to let you know, that the classes have started. They are being taught Sunday evenings at 7:15pm to 7:45pm (MST). Then from 8:00pm to 11:00 pm (MST) I am answering questions.

Perdonen la pregunta,
¿pero por qué dicen con tanta confianza que un apellido es "originario de" alguna ciudad o rancho? Los antepasados de cualquier persona probablemente tenían el mismo apellido y probablemente vinieron de otro lugar o hasta de España (por decir algún país Europeo).

Joseph:

I don't know what types of weather records might be available for Mexico, especially for the year you specified - 1793. However, it seems to me that military reports for that time period would include weather reports. I don't know where such military reports would be archived, but my guess would be that they are in the national archive of Mexico in DF or in Spain.

Just a quick note/report on the NARA Genealogy Fair I attended on Wed., Apr 11, at National Archives in Washington, DC.

The theme for the fair: "Buried Biography: Bring 'Em Back to Life" ; this fair focused on Federal records located @ NARA that relate to genealogy, and that CANNOT be researched online (which means one must go to NARA/DC or other NARA facility). If you haven't visited the NARA genealogy site, I recommend doing so - LOTS of good stuff there; this is the URL:

Tony,
I found a declaration of intention to become a USA citzen by Jose Chavez in
1884.
Gloria

Is anyone else searching this area? I might of found some of my ancestors from this place. Here is the following information from IGI.

Jose Norverto de la Cueba and Maria Salome Gonzales
Marriage: May 15, 1787

For Raul Fernandez, I just noticed I have some records for what I think are your lines in Los Haros. I have records I haven't entered in to my files yet but if you go to Rootsweb and put in Matilde (Maria) Santiago birth date 1872 it will pull up the family and the records I have on that line. I don't have the ancestor that connects you but I do have 3 children for them as well as some ancestors, hope it's your line and of some help to you.

Loulou,

Will you be going to this event? Or for that matter will anyone else who's from that region be going to this celebration in April? I don't know if I can but it sounds like it would be a nice opportunity to meet up with people from our region.

Thanks, I was able to see the American Heritage this time.
Mary
