I found these old coins while on vacation in Teocaltiche and Jalostotitlán, Jalisco last year. I think this is one important subject that we have not talked about in the forum, MONEY! The coins are located in the John Gonzalez file.

I have now added the film database to the new Nuestros Ranchos website.

The functionality is still in the works. Users cannot yet add films to the database themselves, but that functionality is on its way... I will try to get to it this weekend.

TESTAMENTOS Y AUTOS DE BIENES DE DIFUNTOS DE ZACATECAS (1550-1604)

On the 31 March 2006 the Ranchos Yahoo group will cease to function as a
group.

At this point we have roughly 40%-50% of the group members moved over
(this is not good news).

So after that date any messages you post to the email address

Recently there's been some discussion about Nueva Galicia and whether the group should admit topics other than those related to Jal., Zac. & Ags. (which I think we already do anyway) so I thought this was interesting because it shows some illustrations of what originally was considered Nueva Galicia.

what does the phrase "Abuelos seigneron fueron padrinos ..." mean in a baptism document. Are they both abuelos and padrinos? I would have attached the document, but I don't see a way of doing that. With the email system it was easy to do. Well, that's progress.

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
ranchos group:

Nueva Galicia: Would Opening the Membership up to All of
Nueva Galicia adversly affect your membership in the Ranchos

I guess you'll have to move me. I'm still on the road (Florida now)
and won't be returning to Wisconsin for another couple of weeks. I'm
in an RV and don't always get a good landline connection or wifi. I

I thought I had moved myself to the new list but my name isn't on the
list. Did I not complete the move, do it correctly, or was I sleep-
computing?

final results:

POLL QUESTION: From time to time people not from our geographical area express intereste in Ranchos. Here is my answer:

Hi Group, just sharing some info on an HBO special if
you are interested. I grew up during the 60's and
70's and remember this event. In my teen years I was
a little bit of an activist and we had somewhat of

I know this is very late notice -- unless someone already posted the
information and I just missed it.

There will be a Hispanic Family History Seminar at the 5900 Grand Avenue,
Riverside, on Saturday, March 18, 2006.

I belong to many different forums and groups for many different names
and areas. If I could find a group which specialized in Jalisco,
Guadalahara, Tepatitlan de Morelos I would be happy. I'm selfish.

Great stuff about the Maya:

I see it is 3 am... I have not yet gone to sleep since I do not work
tomorrow and usually stay up late.

What are you doing up so early/late? Did you just wake up?

Yes, the first two documents are at the Library of Congress. I have had a chance to look at them and have been able to build some pretty complex genealogies from the information in those volumes for a groups of families (Escobedos and Covarrubias) going back to the 1400s. They actually have a great deal of indigenous names in them as well...

I want to thank you Francisco, Arturo, Esperanza, and Elvira Z for your
suggestions about Birria. I may have to have a trial run. Most of my
guests will be of the 'gringo' persuasion (and some members of my
