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?

The following ranchos poll is now closed. Here are the
final results:
POLL QUESTION: From time to time people not from our geographical area express intereste in Ranchos. Here is my answer:
I just watched an old move about Pizzaro and Adawalpa that seems to
roughly follow historical accounts:

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 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.

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?
Joseph et al:
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

Members may not have to wonder what lies behind the 14-ton vault door
at the Church's Granite Mountain Vault Records (GMVR) facility for much
longer. In as little as 10 years, much of its genealogical collection
may be at their fingertips.
Over 50% of the members have retrieved their
passwords. Great. At the end
of March we will be setting everyone's Yahoo
subscription to "No
Mail." This means that if you want to communicate with the group you'll
need to send your email to one of the email lists on the new site,
REMEMBER you need to subscribe to the email lists by logging in and
clicking on "mailing lists" from the right-hand menu. I would
strongly suggest that the other 50% of you go in and get your http://nuestrosranchos.org
password and
subscribe to the 3 email lists by clicking “mailing lists” on the right-hand
menu. [Note: You cannot
send messages to the new lists unless you have subscribed to them. You
must
also remember that when
you subscribe to the lists the site will generate a confirmation email
for each
list. When you receive the confirmation email just reply to it to
complete the
confirmation process].
As
a reminder, the directions for the new lists are as follows:
Elvira and Josie sent me this email. I thought I'd pass it onto the
group. We touched this subject awhile back and I wish there was someway
we could see how much progress they are making. I'd also love to know
when they will have Jalisco and Zacatecas and Aguascalientes done!
A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion of a "Nuestra Vida
Project". What is the current status of this project? Is this
something that is only found on the Nuestros Ranchos site?
I am curious because I am actually looking for information on the
I just signed up for my new password so I can navigate this new website, and I find that I can barely read even this as I type it. Could the fonts be larger and bolder? When the messages come through the Yahoo Groups website I can read everything well, but I am really having trouble reading on this website. I am also having trouble understanding the menu of forum topics. Will there be a long list of forum topics to navigate through to find something we want to re-read? I had to submit a forum topic for this message and I couldn't find a forum that seemed appropriate for it.
I have uploaded, in the books and articles files section of the new site, the bibliography of "Diccionario Biografico del Occidente Novohispano Siglo XVI" being published by the Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas. The series is authored by José Enciso Contreras and Thomas Hillerkuss.
