Emilie,

Yeah, I am familar with naming children based on the Saint's Feast 
day.  And given that it makes it even harder to believe.  Two people 
born on the same day or give or take a day and they get married.  
Well, I guess that isn't unheard of, I have an aunt and her husband 
who share a birthday (they have different first names).

I have over 7000 names in my family tree program and it feels like a 
large number of them have the same first name with their spouse... 
but I probably exaggerate.  I wonder if its possible to print out a 
list...

I am able to print them by birthdate and matching names almost always 
line up... 

Thanks,
Angie

Names can be used to approximate birthdays...help you look in the 
right month...to find a relatative birth/christening.

Maybe.  But even now, many young people met in church
and eventually get married that have different names. 
I believe many marriages were arranged by the parents
during the time of our grandparents.

I've noticed the same thing with some of my Francisco/Francisca,

occasionally.

John,

Well, I am glad you are having success with Legacy...

Sorry, but Gregorio Godina and Gregoria Martinez don't sound 
familar.  The only Gregorio Godina I have in my family tree was 
married to Maria Remigia Huerta on 14 DEC 1808.  His birth must have 
been between 1771-1790.  His parents were Mauricio Casimiro Godina 
Cardenas christened on 4 JUN 1742 and married to Maria Rosalia de la 
Luz Texeda on 13 MAR 1771.  I am actually only related to these 
Godina's through the Cardenas family.  I have been trying to tie my 
Godina line to this line without success.  I am more closely related 
to Maria Remigia Huerta who's parents are Jose Guadalupe Huerta 
married to Juana Maria Sandoval Castaneda christened on 23 MAR 1770 
and married on 8 MAR 1788.  This last couple are my 4th great-grand 
parents.

To the Group,

I am interested in getting this book please send info on how to get it with cost

thanks Jose

John,

I have had the same problem.  If you print directly it comes out 
fine, so its kind of odd that it doesn't work when you print to file.

My solution has been.  Open the document in Microsoft Word.  Place 
the cursor at the end of the document.  Create a page break if you 
want the index to appear on a new page.  Select the 'Insert' menu, 
then the 'Reference' option, then the 'Index and Tables...' option.  
Select the options you want to see in your index.  Specifically the 
way you want your index formatted.  Test out a couple of options, to 
see what you like...

Hope this information helps...

Good Luck,
Angie Godina

P.S.  This is my second try at a response...the first time my browser

The surnames Romero de Chavez, Torre-Ledesma, and Torres will be 
published in Tomo IV.  The only volumes that were ever published 
originally were I and II.

John,

If you can't wait for the PAF software team to find a solution, I
recommend you download the free edition of Legacy Family Tree.  You
can import your gedcom file and then print the same kind of book report.

John,

That must be a bug in the software.  I just tried running the same
procedure and the same thing happens:  I can preview the Index but
then it doesn't appear in the Word document.  I'm using PAF 5. Anyone?

Do we have a PAF Guru in the group?  I need some help. PLEASE  I know 
we have a number of members using PAF, I am hoping somebody can help me.

I am trying to create a file using the "Books"option and would like to 
include an index to go along with it.

I can create the file and its index by selecting the "Print to a file" 
option and by selecting the "index" option also. I preview it,  then I 
save it, but when I look at the saved file, the index is missing!

What am I doing wrong?  Any ideas?  Can it be a limitation to this 
program?  I have tried using Wordpad and also Microsoft Word to look at 
the saved file, same results.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you tried another variant? Guarana? marge:)

Hello Victor,

 

I have searched the surname Grana but found nothing.  I do know that Jose Adalberto Garana was born in 1873 and that his first child was born in 1905.  That leads me to believe that he probably married @ 1904.  Of course, I recall once when he made my grandmother angry, she accused him of being Cuban.  But, searching Cuba didn't help. Yesterday, I had an e-mail from a person who said that a  Garrana had gone from Malta to Lebanon and then possibly to Mexico.  I am working on that.

 

I have one other possibility. Maybe I can find information through the Jesuits. There may be a central house in Mexico that would have membership files.  I have that as one of my tasks.  In fact, that may be the only way to find him.  I really suspect that Garana was not his real name at all or it may have been his mother's name.  My grandfather was so intelligent, so educated, so aristocratic

I would highly recommend listening to the Dear Myrtle Genealogy podcast
for information that can help us in our research. Specifically she had a
great show with some powerful resources on recording "Oral History."
have a listen to this podcast and all of her shows:

Mary,

I guess this is just an idle question, but have you searched the
surname Grana and/or Grama?  

Also, if the person in question was associated with the Augustinians
and the Jesuits, have you considered the possibility that he was not
born in México but elsewhere?

Just some thoughts!

Victor

Hi Victor

Mary,

Just curious to know if a person who is also searching for the Garana
surname in "Hispanic Genealogy Forum" is someone you know.

with Petra and three children in 1917 for being too outspoken. I have
some of his writings and I can see why some would find him
uncomfortable to their cause.
