direction.

Questions for George Ryskamp

Published by Nuestros Ranchos –

Historical Archives
Joseph,
 
I think your question on scholarly research is excellent! I would
love to see a simple directory with that type of information.
By the way, along these lines, I have an acquaintance (via Internet
only) in Jaliso who is both a genealogist and is involved in
scholarly research. He is a historian in Encarnacion de Diaz,
Jalisco, and is very knowledgeable on area history in general.
 I haven't written to him in AGES (perhaps he's not very happy
with me for not writing!) You may have already spoken with him,
but just in case, I'll forward his contact information.  

His name is Rodolfo Humberto Hernandez and he can be found at:
  rodolfohdzch@... .

I would venture to say Mr. Ryskamp would comment that notarial
records are some of the most valuable yet underused resources.
I went to a workshop he presented once and he was quite convincing
about their merit. Unfortunately, I, myself, have never used
them.  But I've seen many and I know that they are a wealth of
information - the

Questions for George Ryskamp

I'm going to DC on the 24 for the Hispanic Family History Symposium.
I'm going to record Mr. Ryskamp and at least one other Archivist for my
Podcast project (http://NuestrosRanchos.net). Its possible that I might
interview him that day. . .thanks to Mickey Garcia who asked him if he
would let me interview him (thanks Mickey).



Can you all think of any other questions. . .so far here are my
questions with 3 of yours:



Members of the Ranchos group were interested in these first three
questions:

Are there any school or other institution projects to motivate children to get interested in family 
history and research?

Are there are any kind of statistics or failure/success rates for
genealogy researchers in terms of a generation count?  In other words,
what can the average genealogist realistically expect to find from
available sources?

Are you taking on new clients and what are your rates?


My questions:

Long Term Data Storage

Published by Nuestros Ranchos –
Forums
Historical Archives



What does the following have to do with Latino and Native American
Genealogy and History? Well everything. It is the goal of this project
to archive and store various audio files of information on this topic
for the long term. I for one have wondered about this very subject
several times and am glad NARA is taking the bull by the horns to the
tune of $308 million. Let's hope for a solution we can realistically
use.



following the article is a link to an interview of Alex Kosiorek by
Doug Kaye of IT Conversations on the subject of how best to burn CD's
for long term information storage. Very interesting and even though it
is one year old I think the info is still applicable today.

Alvares del Castillo

I'm "tracking" my Gutierrez family in Jalisco and found they come from 
Chilchota Michoacan, late 1775's, where there are many Alvares del 
Castillo families who immigrate to Jalisco along with Morfin, Valencia 
and my Gutierrez. So for those of you who are looking for more Alvares 
del Castillo you might want to check out Chilchota Michoacan during 
that time period. Chilchota is very near Zamora Michoacan.

Guadarrama

Published by Nuestros Ranchos –

Historical Archives
Interesting last name.  The following is for your
information:

HISTORIA DE GUADARRAMA 
El topónimo de Guadarrama (wadi l-ramal, río de arena)
procede de la lengua árabe, aludiendo su nombre al
río. Ahora bien, su origen como población es
cristiano, fue fundada por Alfonso X el Sabio en el
año 1268. 

LA SIERRA DE GUADARRAMA COMO ESPACIO HISTÓRICO. 
Las primeras alusiones históricas alrededor del
espacio que hoy conocemos como Sierra de Guadarrama,
se refieren a las diversas vías de comunicación que
facilitan el paso al Norte de la Península Ibérica.
La dominación romana de España (Hispania) dejó
constancia de su presencia en esta zona, con la
antigua vía XXIV del Itinerario Antonio, de Titulcia a
Segovia, que pasaba por el Puerto de la Fuenfría.

Hey, Joseph,

 

I think I know now what was wrong on my new computer before.  It seems
there are a lot of things in it that are hiding, such as Windows Media Player
10.  When I clicked on the MP3 listed on your last message about maps,
a window popped up saying Welcome to Windows Media Player 10 and it led me
to other pop ups to configure it.  Before, when I tried to view videos,
nothing would happen.  I was then able to download that map of Jalisco you
had sent earlier, and I saved it somewhere.  I tried to print it, but
nothing happened.  Is it possible to print it?  Or can one only save
it to view on the computer?  I guess copyrights would prevent printing it
out?

 

Thanks,

This past summer, I went to Tlaltenango, and was able to connect with kin, whom I was not aware of. I was surprised at the individuals that were interested in knowing about my research.



 



One in particular shared what he had researched however, when I returned home I discovered that I have a stack of papers, about two inches thick on his direct line.



 



I have sent letters, none of which have been received. I would like to send the "Family Group Records", but if the letters have not arrived, then perhaps these records would be lost to the equivalent of cyber space. Anyone on the group planning a trip to Zacatecas in the near future.



Thanks, Helyn

Although the homepage and

the navigation colors are new, all

Well, I had left-clicked on the blue url and all I got was that message

about it being added to the download list, so I will next try the more

complicated way of right clicking on the url and saving it to my computer. I

don't know where I will save it to, but I will give it a try.  I had messed

up my old computer so much that they had to reinstall drivers etc.  I am

dangerous around these things.  I ought to get a job as quality control

person to test the user-friendliness of computers, because if anyone can break

them, I sure can.

This map also shows the western part of Michoacan - I find it very

Guadalupe) was indicated in this map - some maps today don't include this small
