I just got off the phone with Mr. Sanchez and yes, they do have a 
filiming team down in Zacatecas now and are simply trying to get the 
exact information re: the location and condition of the records that 
they might film.

Let us cross our fingers and see if we can make this a reality.  It 
would be a big boon to our efforts.

If anybody else knows of records other than Colotlan and Jerez in the 
region of Zacatecas that are not filmed, please contact Mr. Sanchez and 
give him the details ASAP.

Here is the correspondence that I have been having with Mr. Sanchez 
re: the unfilmed records in Jerez and Colotlan:

Arturo,   Ojala que este senor Sanchez nos pueda ayudar con la 
filmacion de los registros en Jerez y Colotlan. Voy a estar en Utah 
en la biblioteca en Mayo, voy a volver a preguntar acerca del 
progreso de nuestra peticion. Me parece que te comente que le escribi 
al obispado solicitando permiso para ver los archivos en la 
Inmaculada. Desgraciadamente no recibi contestacion. Voy a hablar por 
telefono, haber que me dicen. "No hay peor lucha que la que no se 
hace".   Seguiremos en contacto   susana ----- Original Message -----

Señor Sánchez:

 

Mi número es +1-202-460-4589 (móvil) o +1-202-429-1515 (oficina).  No 
sabe canto gusto me da recibir su mensaje, ya que acabo de ir a 
México a intentar ver algunos documentos sin éxito.

To Everyone who mentioned the unfilmed records in Zacatecas in our areas of
interest:

Now is the time for action. Please! Can anyone give me specifics? Book
numbers pages, loose pages, etc.

I sent an e-mail to Benicio Samuel Sanchez Garcia regarding what was
said. He is interested and would like specifics. When he asks he usually
does something about it. He is in a position to do. The email below is
what I had sent him. I guess no one contacted him from this group. Please
send me (or him if you prefer, mentioning this e-mail) of the documents or
books that need to be filmed, loose pages, where they are, who is in charge
at the locale, phone numbers or address if you have it, and contact person.
Please send me as much information as you have on hand about the unfilmed
documents or books.

I believe he was expecting me to send the information needed. I sent him
pat o the info as a heads up but not all the e-mails from the group
discussing the need to film

Hello Alicia, I wish you read spanish. Whenever I search for info about any town of Mexico I write the name in that space that says "search in the web" in my cp. I did it arter reading you message and jalpa has a site. I did open the first item.  It is nice. in one of the options, wich is "jalpa" it opens into more options, so hope you luck              Leticia Leon Morales

Jonathan, I spent 3 days in Ciudad Guzman/Zapotlan El Grande but 
didn't know at the time that my ancestors had lived there so didn't 
look at it through those eyes.  There are 2 church's in the square.  
A very large one and to the side a small one. If your searching for 
specific records double check which of the two church's have them.  
The people were very friendly and there are a great variety of 
hotels and motels with a very old one right in the plaza area. It's 
a hub for everything in that part of Jalisco. My destination was 
Tamazula and Zapotiltic but the accomodations there were terrible so 
we returned each night to our motel in Ciudad Gusman, I believe the 
rooms ran about $40. American for a room for 3 people and were very 
nice. Lot's of good place's to eat and even a natural yogurt and 
health food store that was wonderul.
Good luck on your trip, Linda in Everett

Thank you all, for your suggestions.  Where several of you asked in
what area I will be.  I most likely will be in Sonora, Sinaloa, and
possibly in Cd. Guzman and Sayula in Jalisco.

I wrote directly to you.  But I failed to mention about the cemetery records.  Some have offices at the entrance.  Also be careful in the cemetery.  You can get assaulted.  Be careful!



Are you going to Sonora?  I was trying to remember where your wife's people were from...cannot remember.



Also received your cd's and the pic....now you see why I do not like to take pictures!!!   Thank you very much for the CD's.

Jonathan, my "cemetary" experience in El Durazno was that someone in 
each town has a key to the local cemetary, I did not find any that 
were open, they were locked.  At the older cemetary in Los Haros, 
district of Jerez we were lucky that someone was working there and 
agreed to let us in, we had to leave when they did.  Cemetaries were 
not taken care of but the marble monuments were huge and paid for by 
relatives from the states who sent money I was told. When we were in 
Guadalajara the same was true for the really old cemetaries, someone 
had to admit us.
I had no luck finding records in Jerez Zacatecas, El Limon and 
Tamazula Jalisco.  Clerks were overworked and without copy machines or 
time to give us. I had better luck with the records at the FHC.
The trip was still very much worth the time and money, wonderful 
people just researching records is not a priorty for them.  I asked to 
check a marriage ledger from 1920 and was told the public is not 
allowed to touch the books

Hello all,

Have any of you ever done research in the actual Parish in Mexico?

I am asking, because in about 3 weeks, I will be going to Mexico. And
if possible I will try find some information at the parish and
cemetary level.

So could anyone give me some pointers, on what to expect? Or the best
way to approach the subject?

Thanks,
Jonathan

ON THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RANCHOS MEETING

Hi group!     Here is an update on the upcoming Southern California Ranchos   Meeting.  A kind member of the Ranchos group, Olivia Jaurequi-Reyes,   has offered the use of her home as a meeting place.  The advantage of   this is that we can have a calm, comfortable atmosphere

Our vacation starts April 6th in Rocklin, CA,  then we spend about 5-
7 days in Ogden, UT where we will meet with Rosalinda and visit the
FHL in SLC again.  The 14th of April we take off  by way of Hiway 80
and head back east to Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia.  Before
we arrive back East, we plan
on visiting friends in Chicago, Cousin
in Michigan, and a cyber cousin in Pittsburg.  Those cities are
followed by an Uncle in Richmond, VA, hopefully Joseph in NC, then
friends in GA where we will stay for about 3 days.   After Georgia,
we head up to Paducah, KY for the world's biggest Quilt Show.
