Cousins Database Volunteers

Excel would be a great format for me to work with. However, I am not sure about Cousins in Google. Since it will be members contact information, I have to ask,what is their policy on the use of our information. Would it be better to have a place here on our site? Like creating content, members would be in charge of entering the information and how they are related? One volunteer could be in charge of problems with that particular content. Or members submit the information to someone in the group and that person could enter the data. Joseph, if this is too much to ask, I will understand.

Cousins Database: Volunteers Sought

Joseph, I am good with databases. I am happy to volunteer if you still need help. -Esther Jordan(Lopez) :)

(I am also returning home in a few days so I can continue with the other work.)

Hi All,

I'm looking for two or possibly three volunteers to put together a
database of sorts on all the members of the group that have made a
family connection with each other. This list would give the persons
names, their email address, their location of connection and then the
details of how the connection was made.

I believe my cousin Angie Godina already started such a list but I
believe that would only be a start.

Confirmation records are a must for research

While reading the groups postings regarding confirmation records. I have read many in Aguascalientes, from 1620 to 1823. There was no set age limit. It just depended on when the bishop made his rounds. I have even seen one person (espanol) confirmed at the age of 70 or so. I would have to say to not overlook them, same as burial records. The Teocaltiche confirmation records are not as clear as the Aguascalientes records....and there are a few microfilm rolls where the pages are not in order. Off the top of my head I can not recall the time period as my cousin is the Teocaltiche expert.

I have found many missing links using confirmation and burial records, when my line does not appear in baptism records or marriage records.

Reorganizing the Albums Section

One of the issues that has come up with the upgrade of the site is the lack
of organization in the Albums section of the site.

I have contacted a number of you regarding albums that are marked private
and should really be public, in the sense that they do not contain photos of
people and would be valuable to non-members as resources. Examples of these
include screen shots of searching through the LDS familysearch.org website,
historical maps and photos of contemporary maps.

I have changed many of these photos previously marked private to public so
they are now viewable even by non-members. I will be sending personal
e-mails to those of you who have photos that are not in albums at all or are
in inappropriate albums, but I would appreciate if those members who have
uploaded photos could go to the site and check that:

1. Your photos are not orphaned, i.e. not in an album or in an inappropriate
album
2. If your album(s) or photo(s) are marked "Restricted" that they really
need to be marked as such. If your album is marked public, but all of the
photos are marked restricted, there is a problem. Either the album should
be private or the photos should be public.
3. You do not have a proliferation of albums in different spots for the same
type of content. Ideally a user should have a personal album in the
Members' Genealogical Scans and/or Member Photos album and other photos
should go into the common subject themed albums.

Thank you everyone for your help!

reseach info for Adrian Dena

Adrian, I just checked your file and see that I have some information on some of your lines. You share the Banuelos line with a few people in Nuestrosranchos. I have your Guerrero/Briceno line. with one record I need to put in to take those lines back one more generation, I will do that on Tueday. I always put any record I have online so if you click on the name it will give you my record if I have one.

I have my records on Rootsweb.com. I also have your Sanchez and a few other lines. Just put your name of interest and it will come up, I'd suggest you check the index next for names of interest to you. I think I have some records that would be of interest to you.

Call for photos

Our new site has template has the ability to rotate banners, i.e. different pictures appear on the top of the page each time the site loads.

While I have done my best with my meager graphic design capabilities to put something interesting and relevant up there, I am sure others can do better. I would ideally like to get different collages or people's photos of their ancestors, snippets of document scans, etc. going up there.

If anybody is up to the task to create some alternative banners or would like to volunteer specially old or beautiful photos, please let me know. The banners should be PNG or JPG files with dimensions of 970x200px.

We are back in business

Dear Nuestros Ranchos members...

The site is back up. Thanks to all of the members who tested the prototype
new site over the last few days and identified a number of issues.

Inevitably there will be issues and I will try to address them as
expeditiously as possible. Rest assured that despite the problems, the
upgrade of software will give the group a more secure and powerful tool to
continue collaborating in the search for our ancestors.

Chihuahua Church Records Online

Hi, all:

Well, I just saved myself $5.95 by checking out the Chihuahua Catholic
Church Records for Cusihuiriachic on the Family Search Pilot site. I was
disappointed they do not have Uruachic records, but then Uruachic may not
have had a church and I'm still trying to find out where the nearest church
was. Anyways, I am very grateful and thankful to those who took the time
and put all this online, so we can save time and Money!

Yes, Jalisco is another area I'd like to see some records come available.
In Chihuahua, these small villages can have records on one microfilm
spanning a hundred years, while in Jalisco, you usually see only 6 months or
a years worth of records on one film. It can get costly. Of course, I
can't help but still be thankful, because I don't have to travel to find my
Roots, like people used to have to do. Although, I do hope to be able to
see all these places I have been reading about!

Site Down Tomorrow/Sitio Abajo Manana

Ok everyone don't panic if the site is down for the better part of
tomorrow (Friday) or even a little longer. Arturo has things well in
hand and the down time could be minimal but then the unexpected is
always possible. Be patient and we'll see you on the other side.

No se atierre si el sitio está abajo para el mejor parte de manana
(viernes) o aún un poco más de largo. Arturo tiene disponible bien de
las cosas y el tiempo muerto podría ser mínimo pero por otra parte el
inesperado es siempre posible. Sea paciente y le veremos en el otro lado.

Chihuahua, Catholic Church records online 1622 - 1958

The Chihuahua, Catholic Church records from 1622 - 1958 are now available online. I am sure that they are not all inclusive since many records from all the states of México where missed when originally microfilmed.
The URL to access these records is:

Chihuahua Catholic Church Records

Thank-you, Eduardo, for letting us know about the availability of the
Chihuahua Catholic Church Records. Maybe now I can once again take up the
search to find a baptism record for my great-grandmother, Maria de Jesus
Garcia, in Uruachic, Chihuahua. Her name is so common, it has been a
challenge.

Thanks again!
