sounds really interesting. If you get it please send us the table of
contents as a scan. would love to read something like this for the
Colotlan/Santa Maria de Los Angeles area. Thanks for bringing up the
subject. . . .hopefully others will have books they would like to
recommend for their specific geographic area of study within our group
target area. You never know but as different ones bring up their
favorite books it might inspire someone to dig deeper into their history
or provoke a New Years Resolution to study areas that have been neglected.

thanks,

joseph

Well as usual I kind of went nuts on something. I'm not suppose to be
doing this but studying for an exam coming up a week from this coming
monday, but I took a break from the books and was sort of absorbed by
this mini project.

I so often find that that I get a big time blessing when I set out to
send the group stuff and find non group related but definetly related to
me gold nuggets of information. I'm going to have to go and see how I
can get some of those books and tapes to listen to. Of course most
library's don't ILL non book items but where theres a will theres a way.

Just some of thoughts to keep in mind when interviewing relatives or
people that knew your relatives:

1) if you can ask if its okay to interview the discussion on cassette
tape. Don't make a big deal about this as some people tend to freeze up
if you stick a microphone in their face. Rather get a high quality mike
and set it between you and your relative turn it on and forget about it.
If you get resistance emphasis how important their words are for the
future generations and how it wouldn't be right to deny her/his great
great great great grandchildren the privledge of hearing their voice.

2) if you do telephone interviews then go to Radio Shack and buy a
telephone line recording system (less than $50) that lets you plug into
your phone line and tape from any phone in the house. Still ask
permission to record.

3) if you seemed to get a good session with no problems with a cassette
recorder ask if it would be okay to do video camera. I personally don't
think a

That is a great idea.  It also helps if you give them
the questions ahead of time.  It gives them time to
think about it and you get better information.  Make
sure you have a good video camera and a good mic. 
Good sound is key.  You may also want to give them old
pictures so as to help them remember.

I have found that my mother feels most confortable
talking about the family history is about the table
when she is making tamales.

good luck.

Hello Al:

The municipio of Zacoalco de Torres is located in the southern part 
of Jalisco. The main pueblos in the municipio are Zacoalco, Santa 
Catarina, 3 Barrancas (Santa Clara, Otates, Laureles) and San Marcos 
Evangelista. Most of my family lines come from these pueblos and 
surrounding municipios.

Zacoalco is about midway between Guadalajara and Ciudad Guzman. The 
pueblos nearby Zacoalco de Torres are: Santa Ana Acatlan, Villa 
Corona, Techaluta, Atoyac, Atemajac, Amacueca, and Teocuitatlan. 
Also, Jocotepec, Ajijic and Chapala are really close.

I hope that helps you to locate Zacoalco on the map. And here's some 
history: It was on this municipio, actually on Santa Catarina, where 
my Apodaca ancestors are from, where a very important battle of the 
war of independence took place. A couple months after the Grito de 
Dolores, the insurgentes were trying to take control of a big city 
to maintain their strenght. In Jalisco, a man called Jose 
Antonio "El Amo" Torres was in

Indeed, menudo and pozole is
part of my maternal family history.
Probably my great-grandmother Ambrosia
Frias (she died before I was
born, but my older brothers and sisters knew
her and tell me that she
was a wonderful woman, they call her Bochita),
learned her cooking
from her mother Pascuala Aguilar, but I am not so sure
about it. I am
going to Zacoalco on January and ask my grandma about it.
However,
this could go even two generations before my great-grandmother

because Bochita, according to my grandma, used to refer a lot to a

woman she called "Mi Jacobita". Later on my research, I found that my

great-grandmother's grandmother,(my third great grandmother?) was
