UPDATE 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 to share our 
genealogies and ideas.  I'd like to thank Olivia for her generosity.  
The location was originally set for the Covina area, but Olivia's home 
is in Rowland Heights, not too far away from the 60 freeway, and just 
west of the 57 interchange.

We are planning a menu of carne asada, rice, beans, sodas, water, 
coffee, and pan dulce, and expect the cost to be in the range of $10 
per person.  I ask that you please let me know whether you definitely 
plan to attend, and inform me no later than FEBRUARY 15, so we can 
order the food and purchase any necessary items.  PLEASE TELL ME HOW 
MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING.  This is crucial for planning purposes, and I 
will also respond with Olivia's address and phone

Opinion....
Sadly, many so called Americans would like to send
such people back to Mexico, no matter what their
circumstance.  

After watching a number of our American politicians
(mostly Republicans) blame our illegal cousins for all
the problems in this country, I truly believe racism
and deep hate for our kind still exists in this
country.

Jessica,

boy are you so right. It is impossible since 9/11.

I work with juvenile boys. And its sad, I had one boy and many others but
this one in particular. Was brought here as a baby, his mom never got around
to getting his papers. So when he graduated our program he earned his
diploma and a scholarship to an art institution.


Only when we tried to get him legal we ran into road block after road block.
Basically there was no way of getting them unless he went back to mexico and
started from there. Yet the kid had NO ties to mexico at all nor would he
know anyone there or his way around. It was a SAD situtation. We helped him
all we could but finally he just went to work with his dad working
illegally. It was so sad cuz the kids was a GREAT artist.

digital photoghaphy

Hi prima how are you?



yes you can get great quality with a digital. i use a 3 (but these days
a 4 or even 5 might be better for the same price around $300) megapixel
camera with a very small portable tripod. I set it with no flash and
the setting of the camera set for close up (called a macro setting--get
a camera with a good close macro setting in the order of just a couple
of inches). I even have a set up where in the reader I bought a no
glare piece of art board cut to the size of the reading area and I put
a regular binder under it so the triangle shape of the binder elevates
the art board toward me and the angle is not so sharp on taking the
picture.



I have some pictures of this tilt set up. . .the files are large and if
you are interested email me and I'll email them to you.



remind me in a few days and I'll optimize the pictures and put them in
an email to you.



remind me okay?

You mentioned in one of your previous e-mail that
you could take pictures with a digital camera of records. A year
ago, during a trip to the library in SLC a French group were taking
pictures in  the same way. They had a big digital camera, and a
tripod.  I was very interesting about your remark because of course the
potential savings, but more important, many times the images are better in
the reader that in the photocopy machine (I guess is the lighting). I don't know
anything about digital photography. What is the quality of the images?, What
type of camera you should have?  What features your camera should have? Any
tips? Do you need the tripod?.

Emilie,
sorry for the mix-up, they came over legally
in 1916.  It's just that had they came over in this age of racism, they'd
be look down upon-and every brown face I see now I see someones grandparents,
parents, brother or sister.
 
Also, please read Mr. Reveles' books. 
They aren't novels but vignettes, short stories that are very
entertaining.
 
thanks for your input!!!

Hello Erlinda,  uses in human behavior derive from need;. families would be clans in the early days of settlements. Padrinos had to be members of the clan, temples woud be maybe days on foot or horse riding, so preventing the death or a new born every catolic cristian have the virtue to act as a baptism provider, afterwards the priest would aknowledge and confirm that baptism. and  yes there were slaves, clans with slaves.

I'm finding in the records facts that I hadn't seen before and was 
wondering if others have encountered them in other states too.  I'm

how many babies were baptised at home by a regular person when they 
were afraid the baby was going to die or in danger and then later

Daniel's father Nicolas was from Jerez, Zacatecas where my father was born
also.  They came over legally around the time that the US threw open its
doors to refugees from the Mexican revolution (1915).  I have done some
work on those lines, since I encountered one of Daniel's brothers on the
Jerezano.com website several years ago and we compared notes.  We may be
related collaterally; the places and names seem to match.  Nicolas Reveles
was a painter (pintor) in Jerez, and he later, along with his son Antonio,
designed sets at MGM in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.  
 
It is sad that those open doors slammed shut, and I was surprised to hear
that your grandparents had to cross over illegally.  My father crossed

Hi, Victor,
 
Thanks for sending that article about Fugitive Slaves in Mexico.  I
for one was not aware that many slaves prior to the end of the Civil War sought
refuge in Mexico, and that Mexico for the most part refused to extradite
them.  Since my father, who was from Jerez, was so bigoted against blacks
and asians, I am surprised that American black slaves were protected by Mexico.
That sympathy may have come from their stuggles with Spain over the abuses
suffered by the landless Indians and Mestizos, and they viewed Anglos with the
disdain they viewed the Spaniards.  Maybe it was also just to get back at
Americans for the previous invasion of Mexico.
 
Speaking of my father, my recent diggings further back into his lines who
lived around Tepetongo, Zacatecas and its environs such as Marecito,
Salitrillo, Salitral, Estancia, turned up records that show that two of his
lines (Suriano and Quijas) on his paternal side were mulatos or mulatos
libres.  Wouldn't he have

Jessica,

I agree that there are major problems with immigration laws and
standards in the USA, and that these issues need to be addressed. I do
not wish to minimize that at all but simply to observe it is difficult
to get into many, if not most, industrialized countries of the world.
If you are an American, you will find it difficult to get into
Australia, New Zealand (nearly impossible), and some countries in
Europe on a permanent basis. My English, Asian, Indonesian, Turkish,
and Australian friends tell me horror stories about trying to obtain
appropriate papers to "work" here in USA on more than a temporary
basis. Everybody wants to work in a country where if you work hard
enough you will be rewarded.

Immigration standards

Jessica,
 
I know how you feel, since I too worked with immigrants who only wanted to
come here for the opportunities denied them in their own country.  I
recently saw a program about the capture and deportation of illegals from 
south of the border.  In one scene, a young man was waiting to be taken
back across after he had struggled so hard to make it across; he was dusty,
thirsty, hungry, and he was crying as he said (in Spanish), "I just want to
work!"  It just broke my heart, and I started to cry too.  When are
the Anglos like Pat Buchanan and company going to realize that these poor people
form the backbone of the industries on this side in jobs that Americans
won't take?  Ask any owner of a restaurant or cleaning or construction
service or vineyard, orchard, agribusiness, meat-processing business, etc.,
etc., what their business runs on--they would have to admit it is the cheap
labor and hard work of recent Mexican immigrants, many illegal who risked their
lives
