I never saw this post. There is a definite interest in this website online. My background is in PR/Marketing and Media. I think the real reason is people are not getting the messages.

You might get more eyes on this if you create a simple Youtube video about the content of Nuestros Ranchos. There is a HUGE genealogical community on Youtube looking for just this sort of content. You might want to consider setting up an account on there just to advertise for this website. The money you make in views will pay for the website etc.. I can help you with target ideas that will get people to click on your video to generate support. Generally speaking you can launch with topics that are most well known like maybe Cortez and his family tree. Then if people want to watch more they can come here for more details into the family and it's research.

Also if money is a problem with maintaining the website Wix and a few others have websites that are free to access. They have free templates etc. I don't think anyone wants this website to go down EVER. Facebook is already on its last legs so this is an invaluable resource of information for families who still care and carry the torch for our ancestors who are no longer here. If we do not do it who will?

All the best! Let's make this happen :D

Where can I send my contributions ?

Joseph, My apologies for not reponding to your call for funding. I've been inactive over a year,now. I was unable to find the site, and my password, so I thought the group had shut down. (True, I know it sounds disengenous.) I even posted in another group, asking what had become of the group, and guess what? No answers . I noticed you put a moratorium on donations,so I will be on the lookout for the next call. Thanks for not giving up on the group.

Hi Joseph,

i just saw your message. I will send my donation.
Thank you so much for all your hard work

I have $10 to give you but I am in Mexico, I will figure out how to get them to you!!

Count me in, $10 bill in the mail. Not making excuses for others, but many like myself no longer use paper checks. Thanks for this wonderful website.

Hi Joseph,
I was absent from the site for several months and I didn't see your message.
