Hi Daniel and everyone,

Taking a moment to reply to Daniel concerning my maiden last name, de la O.
This is my father's paternal last name and I have located an aunt who is
doing research on the de la O Ortiz branch of the family. I'm extremely
busy right now. My seven siblings and I are getting together in El Paso, Texas
on August 1st to celebrate our Mom's 80th birthday. I was appointed the job
of writing Mom's story and my husband is putting together a genealogical
tree. We also collected as many pictures as possible to share with the family.
As you can imagine this has become quite an undertaking. This project has
taken over our lives for the past few months. Hopefully when we return from
Texas in August, we'll to participate more fully in the information
exchange for Nuestros Ranchos. We traveled to Mexico in April to meet aunts
and uncles and they gave us so much valuable information that I definitely
recommend that anyone doing genealogical research should travel to their
"motherland" and try to meet as many people as possible. My husband
and I have been bitten by the genealogical bug. Finding new people just pushes
us to find more. Next year, God willing, we'll be traveling to Zacatecas.
In the meantime we will continue to send for films from LDS and I will post the
film number and what it covers in case anyone is interested. We look forward
to becoming more active in the near future.
