Dear Grupo, You guys need to realize and appreciate how truly blessed you are! You have been able to make family connections and share information. Everyday I read every email, even the ones I struggle with in Spanish. Every week I go to my FHC and find absolutely nothing. If it weren't that the only documented family members are in Panuco, Zacatecas, I'd think I'm in the wrong group! I need to share my experience, because I don't want the group to think that I don't care to share or don't work on my genealogy. It's just not happening. If there are any Santelices, Valerramas, Candelas, or Onates from the 19th to 20th century that I could connect with; I'd love to hear from you. Take care and continued success. Alice

JOSIE, MI PRIMA,

SOMETIMES I THINK I TALK TOO MUCH, BUT I SEE IT PAYS OFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!i IF I HADN'T DISCUSSED THAT PART WITH ARTURO, WE MIGHT NEVER HAVE KNOWN WE ARE ALSO RELATED IN ANOTHER WAY. SHUCKS!!!! LIKE MY SON SAYS(HE'S NOT TOO MUCH IN GENEALOGY), MOM, WE KNOW WE ARE ALL RELATED - LIKE THINK, ADAM AND EVE. LAUGH PLEASE. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE DOING YOUR OWN FINDINGS AND RESEARCH TO REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT IS GOING DOWN ON PAPER.
I HAVE HAD PEOPLE LOOK AT MY PAPERS AND THEY GO, WOW!, BUT IT CAN'T MEAN THE SAME TO THEM AS IT MEANS TO ME. I JUST LOVE, LOVE THESE PEOPLE I AM FINDING, FROM ONE OR TWO HUNDRED YEARS BACK. ACTUALLY, I WILL CONFESS THAT IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES WHEN I DISCOVER SOMEONE NEW, I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT THEM, AND HAVE PICTURES, ETC. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR NAMES WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE, BUT I WRITE OUT WHAT I DO KNOW ABOUT THEM WITH SOMEWHAT A REVERENCE FOR THEM. MY ANCESTORS.

YES, WE'LL COMMUNITATE PRIVATELY.

TU PRIMA JUANITA

Arturo,

Yes, you are so right about researching horizontally. I think I sort of
avoided that since I was working on three different lineages, and I thought
I couldn't afford to spend mroe time on any new people. I thought, "Now,
I'll never be finished".

I did just a couple of times: I found JUAN JOSEPH DELGADO in the 1780
census of REVILLA, TAMAULIPAS, who's wife was MARIA MARGARITA SANCHEZ DIAZ.
When I looked up more on her I found her father was JUAN BAUTISTA SANCHEZ,
brother of TOMAS SANCHEZ, the founder of LAREDO, MEXICO.Those censuses sure
do tell a lot.

And I really went back to the ancestry of MARIA JOSEFA GUTIERREZ de LARA,
who
married my ggggg grpa, JOSEPH MARIA TAMAYO y LUNA. I ran into a sonewall
with his ancestry, but found lots on her.

You are so right.

Thanks for listening.

Juanita G. Delgado
