New Family Search Website Update

Im not supposed to be doing this but since I have made so many wonderful people here on ranchos, I couldnt keep this to myself. The new website isn't officially launched but is now functioning as Beta 2 or 3 is now starting. It's quite LONG! The new website can only be accessed my church members for now but to see if we can play around with it before it goes public.

Here's the website if anyone wants to see at least the Home Page:
www.new.familysearch.org

In the future we will all have to register. The project is at a goal by 2012 all the microfilm will be scanned and the official webpage will go Live. BUT if you like you can sign up to help with the new microfilm, the email address is at the bottom. Im going to register soon. This is different from the first registration if anyof you participated in the first website at FamilySearch Labs.

Heres an update:

New FamilySearch
The LDS Church is currently developing a web application for church membership (and, eventually, everyone) to be able to interact with a very large, unified database full of connected genealogical information. When fully released, it will replace the current FamilySearch.org.
Most of the development work on the new system takes place in offices in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Some prominent features of the new website are:
Support for multiple assertions on facts, allowing people to "agree to disagree".
Very comprehensive source citations, including links to source images. This promised linking service may not be available in earlier versions. Documents scanned from the Church's 2.4 million rolls of microfilmed vital records, from around the world, will eventually be linked to individuals in the system. These films are currently being scanned and indexed, for more details see the Church's FamilySearchIndexing web site.
Several features will be specific to the membership of the LDS Church, facilitating temple ordinance work.
This new system will be a one world pedigree of linked families. Users will not be able to change others entries but may post their disagreements next to other's versions. Users will be able to edit their own prior entries.
The Beta2 test version has a mapping utility which maps locations where an individual has resided. By clicking on the link a pop up displays the events that took place at that location, i.e.: birth, marriage, death, etc.
The new system will be released in phases starting with smaller temple districts for members of the Church only. After temple districts in all areas of the world are online, it will be opened to everyone.
Digitization and indexing projects
The Family History Library (FHL) is in the process of digitizing its entire microfilm collection. ScanStone, which was developed by the LDS Church, is a system (both hardware and software) to rapidly create digital images of genealogical records contained on microfilm. When fully implemented, the FHL will be able to convert 370,000 rolls of microfilm per year into digital images. It is estimated that the digitizing project will be completed about 2012.
An online index to the digitized records is also being created using FamilySearch Indexing software developed by the LDS Church. The church hopes to recruit tens of thousands of volunteers to complete the indexing project. Volunteers can participate by going to the Church's FamilySearchIndexing web site. The databases containing the digital images and indexes will be added to the FamilySearch website as they become available.
By now most of the genealogical community has heard about the new FamilySearch™ system the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is developing, but fewer have heard of the Help Center. The Help Center is a web–based program designed to provide a self-service support environment for the new FamilySearch.

Among the exciting additions of the Help Center are the Research Advice Forums. These online communities will provide users a chance to ask their research questions and allow other users with research experience to share their knowledge. The forums will be available in eight languages, and will eventually cover every country of the world.

Research Advice Forums

FamilySearch Support (part of the Family and Church History Department) has been given the task to provide family history research support worldwide. Since volunteers in family history centers and genealogical societies collectively possess so much research knowledge, FamilySearch Support has created an online environment where these people can share their knowledge with those looking for help with their family history.

The Research Advice Forums are different than any other genealogical forum online. How many times have you asked a question in an online forum and never received an answer? Research Advice Forums will be different. FamilySearch Support will actively manage its forums and notify the forum moderator of any questions that have gone unanswered for a given amount of time. The forum moderator will then ask a research specialist to answer the user’s question.

The forums also have a dynamic search feature. Every time a question is asked and answered it is automatically added to the Help Center’s knowledge base of answers. The knowledge base contains forum posts, websites, authored articles, and Family History Library publications. As questions are asked and answered, websites added, and new articles written, the Help Center’s knowledge base will continue to grow.

Testing the New System

The new FamilySearch beta 2 test is coming soon. For beta 2, FamilySearch Support is looking for individuals with research experience to help test the forums. We will be asking beta testers to do a series of tasks in the forums designed to test the system’s features to make sure they are ready for public use. Testers will be asked to spend about 1-2 hours per week or more if they choose. Anyone participating in the Research Advice Forums testing will also have full access to the new FamilySearch. If you are interested in helping us test our forums and being a part of the new FamilySearch email us at:
fch-researchsupport@ldschurch.org (please include “Renee Zamora blog” the subject line of your email).

My Introduction -- Joseph de Leon

My name is Joseph de Leon. My ancestral roots come from both HUEJUCAR & ,COLOTLAN, JALISCO and JEREZ, ZACATECAS. Some of the surnames of my ancestors are: DE LEON, CARLOS, BANUELOS, FLORES, COVARRUBIAS, VILLANEDA, and many others.

My father's name is Elias de Leon who was born 20 Jul 1904 in Huejucar, Jalisco and my mother is Maria del Transito Carlos who was born 15 Aug 1909 in Zacatecas, Zac. probably in Jerez, Zac. because that's where most of her ancestors are from.

The FLORES and BANUELOS Trees are mutual ancestral trees for our cousins the Banuelos. We share the same GGGGGF Diego Flores born about 1730 (ancestors of my father's mother Petra Flores). We also share the same GGGGGF Jasinto Banuelos born about 1755 (ancestors of my mother's GM Vicenta Banuelos). You could say that my parents were Kissing-Kousins!

I'd like to visit both Huejucar and Jerez sometime this spring 2008 and see my ancestral land before I die. I know that I have many CARLOS cousins in Zacatecas who have never heard of me. In addition, I don't know of a single DE LEON cousin (that I may have) and my ultimate goal is find a living descendant primo!

My goal is to learn when and where my grandfather Francisco de Leon Covarrubias was born and when and where he died. He was probably born Abt. 1880 in Huejucar and probably died Abt. 1910-1915 in Piedras Negras but I don't have the proof. He was a music composer ( I still have his original music scores) who was beaten to death by Pancho Villa's thugs because they thought (that since his cousin was the mayor of that town) that he had the keys to the local bank.

His father was Nicolas de Leon Martinez (also a music composer) who was married to Refugio Covarrubias on 08 Jun 1866 in Huejucar, Jalisco. I have Nicolas' original love sonnet that he wrote to his sweetheart. My goal is to also learn when and where he was born and died. He was probably born in Huejucar Abt. 1846

My siblings and my sons all inherited my grandfather's love of music and the arts and they compose music and are artists as well.

Batch numbers

I have printed out the batch numbers given on the website for Aguascalientes, but the year I need is not on the list. Under birth, I need 1882. Can anyone tell me where I can find birth records for that year? I am looking for Cruz Bustamante B. 1882. I can't seem to find his parents. I have found another Cruz Bustamante born in 1878 which could be his father, but I'm not sure. Any help will be appreciated.

Batch Numbers for Aguascalientes (and others)

Lupe Kerr,

Most of the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints) Family History Library films are NOT indexed into Batch Numbers; but information can be researched by reading the respective microfilms from the Library

In your case, the referenced film #299917 (Batch C001664) relates to 1887-1903 Baptisms of Hijos Naturales registered in the Senor del Encino Parish of Aguascalientes, --- and you indicate the need for information about an Aguascalientes birth (Cruz Bustamante) presumed to have occurred in 1882.

Therefore, I suggest you consult directly the following films of the Records from this Parish ....

Film #299916 --- 1854 to 1887 Baptisms of Hijos Naturales
Fim #299888 --- 1881 to 1885 Baptismos de Hijos Legitimos

Best of luck in your research.

Partitioning your PAF File

This may be in the user guide, but I can't access that right now because I
can't open Word. What setting do I put for "Char set"? What email address do
I send it to? Most of my entries don't have the relevant microfilm source
noted. Should I wait to send it until I do?

Raquel:

There are two ways you can partition out your PAF file in a manner that would
be appropriate for submission to your folder:

>From the "Print Reports" menu item (the little printer icon) and then
clicking the "Books" tab, you can print out an Ahenetafel report directly from
PAF showing your relevant grandfather's ancestors. This also eliminates (I
presume) all living people that might be in that PAF file. You can then print
out the report to a RTF or preferably a PDF file and submit that file.

You can create a GEDCOM of your grandfather's ancestors using the "Export"
menu item (the little disk with an out arrow). Click "Other GEDCOM" then
select "Partial" under the "Filter" option. Click the "Select" button on the
lower right and then find your relevant grandparent and select "All ancestral
related" under the "Relationship Filter" option and then the "Select" button.
Then Click "OK" and finally the "Export" button. We can then upload the
GEDCOM to our GEDCOM database which other members can search.

Microfilms de Los Altos de Jalisco

Hola a todos,
Quisiera saber si alguno de ustedes tiene, o si sabe como encontrar, los numeros de rollos relacionados con los siguientes pueblos de Los Altos: VALLE DE GUADALUPE, CANADAS DE OBREGON, CAPILLA DE GUADALUPE, PEGUEROS, SAN IGNACIO CERRO GORDO y MIRANDILLA.
Desafortunadamente, estos lugares no aparecen en la lista de rollos en este sitio y son pieza fundamental para las raíces de la region altena.
Agradezco su ayuda y estoy a sus ordenes para el que necesite informacion acerca de Valle de Guadalupe, que es donde estoy enfocando por el momento mis investigaciones.
Gracias y hasta pronto.

San Sebastian del Oeste

Hello Candis,

Last year I went on vacation to Puerto Vallarta and had an opportunity to
visit San Sebastian del Oeste. As you mentioned, San Sebastian is a former
mining town and about an hour's drive from Puerto Vallarta. Until two
year's ago the only road leading to it was a narrow dirt road that made
travel difficult because of its location in the Sierra Madre. They have
since started building a paved road and I was able to go on a tour of the
town. In fact, the road was being built as we were driving back. Our bus
had to wait for 20 minutes or so as we were heading back to Puerto Vallarta
as the workers poured gravel and dirt over a section of the road. Here is a
link to a short video of the town:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L86khHh9U0M

In addition to the places you see in the video, our tour included a visit
to the home of a lady named Doña Conchita, who is a member of one of the
first mining families in town. Doña Conchita has been working on her family
tree for several years and has a room full of photographs, documents and
miscellaneous artifacts that belonged to her ancestors. She gave us a
presentation of her oral and documented history. Doña Conchita is in her
80's and a wealth of information about the town's history.

I highly recommend this tour to any genealogist even if you are not
researching ancestry in San Sebastian. Here are some links to a couple of
tour companies: http://www.puertovallartatours.net/san-sebastian-tour.htm and

Origen de los Enriquez en Jalostotitlan, Jalisco

Hello to all! Saludos a todos! Hope every one had a great Christmas and also wishing you the best for the new year!

I'm stuck on my research for my Enriquez family in Jalostotitlan. The latest couple I have is Jose Maria Enriquez and Maria Nicolasa Gonzalez de Villasenor. They are my 6GGrandparents. They lived around the mid 1700's. I can't figure out anything before that. Their son, Jose Vicente Yrineo Enriquez Gonzalez (who was a twin by the way) was born around 1785 and married Maria Francisca Romo de Vivar. Vicente's daughter, Maria Gerarda Enriquez, eventually made her way to Amoxochitl (Juchipila area) and married my GGGrandfather Jose Maria Enriquez... yes, there were both Enriquez :-) -- so makes for an interesting line to have 2 last names join in different towns with who knows what backgroud.

Anyway, any help would be great. Does anyone have any info on the origins of the Enriquez in La Nueva Galicia?

Saludos!

Looking for info on DE LEON's from Huejucar, Jalisco

Can anyone help me with my family tree? My father's (Elias de Leon) ancestors are from Huejucar, Jalisco. Beyond my GGF Nicolas de Leon, born Abt 1845, I know nothing.
His father was Francisco de Leon son of Nicolas de Leon and Refugio Covarrubias. He was a music composer who was born after 1866 and died probably around 1910-1915 at the hands of a beating from Pancho Villa's thugs. Only recently have I discovered that Francisco had a brother named Espiridion de Leon who was baptised in Huejucar on 12/18/1874.

researching records

I just wanted to tell the new members who are new to researching that after 10 years of researching I just did my first record of "hijos naturales." I'd stayed away from them because I felt it was sort of prying.. silly me! I"m working on 0439889 Jerez Zacatecas, hijos naturales and have found lots and lots of children listed as natural when their parents were actually married!

I've decided not to include these children in the records stops others from finding them regardless of the circumstances of their birth. I also noticed that some are listed in the civil birth registration as father unknown but in the baptism record in "hijos naturales" the father and grandparents are usually listed, a real find. So, my advice is not to neglect any record that might give you the information you need to further your research.

good luck and welcome to all the new members of Nuestros Ranchos

Mineral de Pinos and Mineral de Angeles

Helo Everyone!

I am trying to find out where two places are.
Mineral de Angeles is one, is this now Noria de Angeles or are they two different places?
The other is Mineral de Pinos. I know it must be in Pinos, Zacatecas, I just want to know where and if it has another name now.

Thank you.

Sofia

Hola a Todos!

Estoy buscando dos sitios, uno es Mineral de Angeles, que no se si es Noria de Angeles o son dos sitios diferentes. Y el otro es Mineral de Pinos. Se que esta en Zacatecas pero no se donde o si se conoce por otro nombre.

Gracias.

Rancho Calderón somewhere between Zapotlanejo and Tepatitlán Mexico

When I was very young (1940-50's) I spent time with my family in Jalisco on Rancho Calderón, which is reached by following the road between Zapotlanejo and Tepatitlán and leaving it about halfway, to reach the rancho which was pretty far from the highway. Rancho Calderón was in the Valle de Calderón and the adobe structures were quite ancient. I think I remember hearing that the main hacienda was built in the 1600's or 1700's. It was owned by the Romo (de Vivar) family but purchased in the early 20th century by Salvador Padilla. Salvador Padilla had married María Guadalupe "Lupe" Romo and purchased the failing rancho to "keep it in the family." Salvador and Lupe were probably born shortly after the turn of the century, since Lupe is still alive and in her late 90's. She was the daughter of Luis Romo (de Vivar), one of the sons of my GGGF José de los Santos Romo (de Vivar). I have no idea whether it was he or one of his sons who owned the rancho. In a sad turn of affairs, the rancho was seized by the government in the late 1900's and is now at the bottom of a reservoir. I see a big reservoir on the Google map, which is north of the highway and is long enough to fill the middle third of the distance between Zapotlanejo and Tepatitlán--but I'm not even sure if the rancho was north or south of the highway.

I am interested in any information anyone has about the history of the Rancho Calderón, because it may help me in my otherwise stymied research into the Romo de Vivar aka Romo family of Jalisco. It would also be interesting to find out the name of the new lake--probably Calderón, because it was the result of flooding the Valle de Calderón, but one can never assume.

Please Trim Your Messages

I know this is an often repeated announcement around here, but since we have so many new members and the activity on the list has heated up, I figured I should repeat it.

Please, please trim your messages. When you reply to a posting via email, if you have your email set to include the message to which you are replying as part of the message, delete all but that part of the message which is necessary to provide context. Often nothing is necessary other than an appropriate subject for the reply message. When replies get posted online, they get posted along with the messages to which they are responding, so there is no need to repeat text. Such repetition makes the message very, very illegible.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I also suggest that any new members that have not yet done so download the Nuestros Ranchos User Guide which explains this and other site functions and etiquette. It can be found under FILES-REFERENCE MATERIALS.

Se que este anuncio es uno que repetimos mucho por estos rumbos, pero como hay tantos nuevos miembros y el nivel de actividad en la lista ha aumentado bastante, creo que es bueno repetirlo de nuevo.

Por favor, les rogamos recortar sus mensajes. Cuando respondan a un mensaje por correo-e, si su programa de correo-e incluye el mensaje al que esta respondiendo como parte de la respuesta, borre todo ese mensaje salvo la parte necesaria para dar contexto a la respuesta. Muchas veces no se necesita nada mas que poner un titulo apropriado a la respuesta. Cuando las respuestas se publican en el sitio, se publican juntos a los mensajes a cuales responden, asi que no es necesario repetir el texto. Repeticion como esa hace que el mensaje sea muy dificil de leer.

Familia Bueno en Tlaltenango y Colotlan

If anybody has any Bueno or Lopez Bueno ancestors in Tlaltenango or Colotlan in the late 1600s or early 1700s I would greatly appreciate sharing any information you have.

I am stuck on a couple of lineages that I suspect are related but have very sparse data on both of them:

1 Diego BUENO
* Sebastiana ARIAS
2 Antonio LOPEZ BUENO
+ Antonia DE AVILA (married 1718 Tlaltenango)
# 3 Maria Lucia LOPEZ BUENO
* Juan Antonio DE CAMPOS RAIGOZA
# 3 Joseph Antonio LOPEZ BUENO
* Maria Efigenia DE LA O

1 Feliciana LOPEZ o BUENO
* Antonio GONZALEZ
o 2 Josepha GONZALEZ LOPEZ
+ Manuel QUEZADA
# 3 Joseph Antonio Paulin QUEZADA GONZALEZ n. 1757
# 3 Petra de la Encarnacion QUEZADA GONZALEZ n. 1759
# 3 Maria Phelipa QUEZADA GONZALEZ n. 1761
o 2 Antonio GONZALEZ BUENO n. 1722

I also have a Gregoria Bueno as mother to Marcos Tostado Santa Cruz in his Momax marriage of 1682 and a Francisco Bueno, father to Lucia Gonzalez in her 1868 Tlaltenango marriage to Blas de Gallardo.

My Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Joshua Goodson, grandson of Francisco Romo Villanueva. He was born 21 Apr 1923 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. He was married to Marcellina Ribeiro. I know he had at least two sisters, two brothers, and a nephew that are also from Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico and one of the sisters lived with her husband in Leon, GTO, Mexico. I am not sure if they are still living so I did not include their names. I do not even know the names of my great-grandparents. Most of what I know is from the writing on the back of photos that belonged to my grandfather, most of them dated in the 1950's, and little bits of information my mother could remember. I do not know anything about my family and am finding it very difficult to find any information about them. If anyone know any information or how I can get started, please let me know.

Thanks you all.

Joshua

Origen de los Enriquez en Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, --- and "stuck research"

Sandra,

There are many Enriquez recordings as early colonizers of Nueva Galicia
from which, if any, you can determine your lineage. Some examples of these
are:

> Juan Enriquez de Guzman served with Cortes in his first expedition.
> Martin Enriquez was the 4th Viceroy (1568 - 1583) of Nueva Galicia.
> Enriquez, son of Henry and "originario de Espana" is mentioned as being
in Nueva Espana in 1691.
> Various Enriquez are recorded as being tried in Nueva Espana by the
Spanish Inquisition for relapsing to Judaism.
> Mariano Gonzales-Leal includes --- in his "Retonos de Espana en la Nueva
Galicia" --- Enriquez del Castillo as one of the 117 Spanish families that
arrived to colonize the Los Altos region of Jalisco in 1550

So, in the case of your "stuck research," I suggest that you
begin/continue it by reading the christening record of the twins (Josse
Antonio Yrineo Enrique Gonsales and Josse Vicente Yrineo Enrique Gonsales)
children of Josse Maria Enrique and Maria Nicolaza Gonsales, --- and
christened 17 July 1785 at Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion, Jalostotitlan,
Jalisco. (Ref.: LDS Film # 0279261). These christening records often
include the names of the newborn's grandparents which, in this instance,
would be your 7GGrandparents.

Best of luck in your research, and a Happy New Year to all the Nuestros
Ranchos Internauts !
