Spanish Language Characters

Foros

Historical Archives

There is an easier way to do Spanish Language characters on the computer (instead of remembering 3-digit numbers for each character). I got the following from someone called "Jerezano" at MexConnect.com.

Click on MY COMPUTER, CONTROL PANEL, KEYBOARD, LANGUAGE (Make sure you are on English (United States). Choose and click on PROPERTIES. On the Keyboard dialog that comes up, click on the down arrow for KEYBOARD LAYOUT. Look for and choose UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL. Then click OK on each succeeding box as it comes up and back out to the Desktop.

You will then be ready to type your Spansh characters (accents, tildes, etc.) Hold down the ALT that is to the right of the space bar and at the same time hit your key: Press the right ALT and hold it while hitting a,e, i, o, u, n, etc.

One warning: Your type font needs to have the accented characters. Korinthia is a good one. To check this, go to Character Map, select the font you normally use and check to make sure it has

PAF Help Needed!!!

Foros

Historical Archives

John---

It looks like you need to re-install the PAF program. Only your PAF data files were saved, no? Do you have the disks so you can re-install PAF? When I ran a restore program on my computer, it wiped out PAF, screen savers, --- everything that had not been installed at the factory. I didn't have room for the PAF which I had installed after I got the computer. I had to re-install my printer, mouse, scanner, etc. Everything else (encyclopedia, Photoshop, etc. was gone in order to give me enough memory so that it didn't take hours to download websites, etc.

Mis ancestros de los Altos.

Historical Archives

Hello.

I want to share what I recently found and check if anybody is 
related to these ancestors. A couple days ago, I finally checked the 
marriage record of my ancestors from Los Altos.

My 2nd greatgrandfather Juan Tapia married my 2nd greatgrandmother 
Bibiana Martinez in Lagos de Moreno on February 5, 1879. Juan's 
parents were Atanacio Tapia and Secundina Olivares. Bibiana's 
parents were Juan Martinez and Matiana Lopez. Before reading this 
document I just knew that my Tapia ancestros were from "somewhere in 
Los Altos", according to my grandmother. She did not remember where 
were they from. Now, I know that they were from a rancho near Lagos 
called Cañada de Ricos. Is anybody familiar with this name? I 
checked the Jalisco census on the files area and found out that the 
population in that place is currently less than 100. Well, while 
surfing the web, using google, I found something very interesting 
about this rancho. On the Lagos de Moreno official website, I 
discovered

I need some help. Do you know if
there is anybody out there who is using the LDS program: PAF 5.2 who
might be able to help me with a problem?

Here's the problem: I was trying to
make some changes to my Windows XP program, but the changes didn't
work. I had to reboot my computer in "Safe Mode" and ran the restore
program. Everything started working again, except for the PAF program.

I can bring it up but it comes up
as a "read only" program. I can view all of my data, I can print it
out, but it is not allowing me to make changes to it or enter new
data. I think the computer recovered the PAF program from the back-up
file that was probably "write protected"

Hi Alicia:

I am glad to see that someone else is iterested
in writing Spanish correctly. Your spanish sounds and looks
perfect! I don't see anything wrong with it. It isn't easy, Spanish
is a very difficult language specially when it comes to conjugating verbs.
I don't consider myself an expert.

I had most of my schooling here, in
California, and never had a formal class in Spanish. I did live in Guaymas,
Sonora, Mexico for 10 years and had the opportunity to learn by osmosis and
immersion. I came from a family where Spanish was spoken every day.
My parents insisted that we learn the proper use and not to fall for the
"Spanglish" that we encounter everyday. We are attempting the same
with our grankids but it is an uphill battle...

There is a web site that I sometimes use whenever
I have a problem with a word: http://tradu.scig.uniovi.es/conjuga.html

It is a web site for the Diccionario de
Español. It is provided by the University of Oviedo, in Spain.

John,

Thanks for that great tip! Muchas Gracias por la leccion acerca de la letra ñ.

What other secrets are there waiting to be discovered with respect to the correct punctuation in Spanish. I'm sure there are other short cuts to grammar and punctuation. Where can we go to find this information on the net. A que sitio nos puedes enviar para obtener esa informacion en el internet?

I thank you for your patience with those of us who are Spanish writing challenged and for your willingness to come forward and assist us.

Agradezco que tengas paciencia y compasion con los que tenemos algunas fallas al escribir el español y por que has tomado la iniciativa para orientarnos cuando ha sido muy necesario.

Me imagino que siempre que ves nuestros errores en ortografia se te enchina la piel. Espero que comprendas que como dice Joseph, para muchos el español es nuestra segunda lengua. En el caso mio, vine a EUA a la edad de dos años, toda mi escuela formal fue en ingles y jamas he

When I add genealogies to the "Links" I have no way of making an
announcment other than sending out an email.

Emilie Garcia (auntyemfaustus@...) has just submitted her
Garcia-Cervantes and Francisco Olague links on World Connect in
Rootsweb. Go to the links area and click on her folder and see her
links.

Emilie can you send me a complete list of the places in Jalisco or
Zacatecas that you are doing research. I saw Encarnacion de Diaz but I
need any other places or rancho names you have and I'll add them to
your folder description.

Have you been able to get into the "files" and "links" yet? Do you have
a Yahoo ID and Password?

I congratulate you and admire your effort with
the lenguage. You are doing a great job! I wish more people would follow
your example.

O.K. Joseph here it comes:

I noticed that lot of people don't know that
there is a way to type the letter "ñ on their computers, they always
use the letter "n" . It makes a whole lot of difference when they use "n"
instead of "ñ" with horrendous results . In the case
where they want to say years = años, they say: anos, which you probably already
know that it means anus.

To type the letter "ñ" you press the
"Alt" key and while you hold it pressed you type the number 164 on the
keypad. The "ñ" will appear on the screen as soon as you release the
"Alt" key. If you need it in upper case the number to use is
165.

You might want to pass this bit of information to
the rest of the members, Iam almost sure that there are a lot of them that don't
know it..

Hi, Joseph,

Re PAF and Family Tree Online at Ancestry.com:

PAF is a great program if your computer has the room for it. It makes great charts, trees,etc. The Family History Centers can download it to your computer or a disc or sell you the program and teach you how to use it. I don't have room for it on my computer, but I will get that when I get a new computer. Right now I use the Online Family Tree program on Ancestry.com.

I think I understood Francisco Martin about his not seeing his trees in the format you've been getting from those who have Family Tree on their computers. When I want to forward a tree to someone, I go to WorldConnect and find my tree, then I click on "Ahnentafal" (German word for Pedigree) and it brings up my tree in the Generation 1, Generation 2, etc format that people have been sending to you.

I still have to e-mail you my "Ahnetafal" pedigrees. I was going to wait until I updated them, but I don't seem to get around to it. So I might as

I am confident that the answer to this question is yes. Having said thatI'm not sure what Mexico's rules are with regards to when that infobecomes public.

that I don't have her birthdate and am hoping that she was born within

well I have seen 20 years between syblings. don't give up if you don't
find her within one or two years.

and might find her on the same

yes good luck, the frame by frame searching is great research. I hope
you put that film on permanent so you can revisit it from time to time.

A while back we had a discussion about informacion matrimonial vs dispensa matrimonial. I recently found on film # 226921 for Informacion matrimonial of Nochistlan Zac, year 1899 a book dedicated to contras matrimoniales. This book details those proposed marriages that have parentescos de consanguinidad, meaning connecting family lines. I just began perusing it so I don't have many details. I found 1 possible family relation in the Ruiz/Munoz line that may be my relative. As part of this document it has a response from the Arcdhdiocese in Latin.

Is this something that the rest of you have encountered? , was this normal procedure in most regions.
