This Saturday, my husband Ramon and I will be flying
to Guadalajara. After a couple of days visiting with
family, we will head out to the Atotonilco el Alto
area of Jalisco. We have many relatives in the
villages of Margaritas, Santa Elena, San Joaquin,
Milpillas, and a family home in Santa Rita, Ayotlan,
Jalisco. I have done extensive research in these
areas and some in La Barca and Ocotlan. I am willing
to share information but so far have only seen one
person who seemed to have ancestors from Atotonilco el
Alto.

The family names I have been researching in the last
few years have been Aceves, Barragan, Garcia, Godinez,
Gutierrez, Huerta, Jasso, Lomelin, and Reynoso. I
enjoy reading all the information that everyone sends
and hope to continue seeing lots of new finds. In the
new year, after the holidays, I will send off a list
of the films I have on indefinite loan at the local
LDS Family History Center from the areas mentioned
above.

Happy holidays to all.
