5.  Spain, The United States, and The American Frontier: Historias
Paralelas
http://international.loc.gov/intldl/eshtml/eshome.html

Partnering with The National Library of Spain, The Biblioteca
Columbina y
Capitular of Seville, the Library of Congress has developed this fine
collection of primary and secondary historical documents that explore
the
complex and multifaceted history of Spanish expansion into North
America
from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and across most of what is now
the
modern-day American Southwest all the way north to Alaska. The site
contains
digital versions of numerous texts, maps, manuscripts, and first-hand
accounts composed by different individuals. Some of the highlights
include
"La Florida del Inca," which is an account of the Hernando de Soto
expedition through Florida and the southeastern part of North America,
along
with the "Notes of a Military Reconnoissance from Fort

Hi Joseph,

yes, it is interesting.  When I was looking through your reports I 
noticed we share a lot of the same surnames.  The one that really 
caught my attention is Juan Jose Diaz. I have 2 lines that descend 
from a Juan Jose Diaz.  I haven't uploaded that report, but will do 
so shortly.  The report I uploaded is as far back as I've gotten, but 
it's a work in progress, so stay tuned.  Domingo Puentes is the 
father of Francisca Puentes.  Right now I don't know who Domingo's 
parents were, but I'll update that report as I learn more.

The Sanchez report started with my paternal grandfather.  I will 
upload one for my maternal grandfather next--Rufino Diaz.  That's 
where you'll see the 2 Juan Jose Diaz'--one who was married to 
Gertrudis Alvares and the other to a Rita Barajas (or Martin del 
Campo).  They very well may be the same person, but I have no 
documentation to base that on.  I'm thinking that your Juan Jose and 
mine might descend from a common ancestor, but we'll

yes I am he! I'm still so new to PAF and gedcom that I have no idea if
I'm number 2008. Since it worked I'll send my other lines via gedcom but
so I don't make the same mistake how do I avoid what happened to you in
accidently importing a gedcom file where is doesn't suppose to go?

thanks,

Joseph

ps: when I was little I was totally fluent in Spanish and I referred to
myself as Jose Luis but everyone else just called me, "Dinky"

pps: as you'll see from a more current photo of mine I am far from a Dinky

okay this is getting interesting. On those marriage records is there a
listing for who the parents were of Francisca Puentes and Domingo Puentes?

Also there are a couple of Diaz in there as well who might their parents
be???

thanks,

Joseph

this might be old news but I'm finding it valuable for my work. Has this
been addressed before?



Batch Searching the
LDS films from home: "Or how to get the most bang
for your buck when ordering films."



The batches are just that: "batches" of information keyed into the Family
Search website (http://www.familysearch.org). This
is information that is taken from the films and entered into the International
Genealogical Index. (Not just there but for the specific purpose of Mexican
Genealogy that is where I'm finding my ancestors).



How to find the batch numbers?



well you can go to any LDS Family History Center and look at the Fiche
for your particular surname of  research. Find the Fiche for the State then
for the Surname and then find the towns your Ancestors came from.
