Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank Joseph, Arturo, and all the other little
helpers for all the work and effort, that they have put into making the
Ranchos Group, what it is today.

Second, we all can put in our own two bits of wisdom. We can ask questions,
we can share ideas. It doesn't matter how new, advanced or whatever level
we are on. We can always share and learn, from each other.

As for my self, I am not a professional researcher, I am just a person, who
wants to share what he has learned. The reason that I am where, that I am,
is that I have been asking questions about how to do Mexican research for
the last 19 years. Then I began to share what I have learned with others,
either through teaching classes, being a volunteer at my local Family
History Center, and reading messages posted through Ranchos and other
Message boards (and trying to answer a few). So we all can find something
to share.

As for ranchos members, visiting Salt Lake. If you need help, or would like
to meet me, feel free to contact me, because I live 84 miles north of the
Family History Library.
