     If you can get it in your area, try to watch a novela called  'Alborada".  It's a historical 
novel about Mexico during the early 1800s.  It'll give you a good idea of Mexico during that 
time. There are other historical novelas about Mexico you can either get on tape or CD. 
 
Elvira,

I am interested in your historical novel and other historical CDs. What source do you use to 
purchase these items? I could not find "Alborada" on Amazon or Libros Latinos.

Thanks,

Ed

I have read lots, of messages about oral histories, here on Ranchos. 
I just wanted to say, record those histories.  So that they are not
lost, to the future generations.

I say this, because recently I took, on some new clients, whose
ancestry is about 80% comanche indians.  With a few ancestors, who
where Mexican or spanish captives, that were captured and raised by
the comanches, during the early 1800's.  All that they have to work
with, is oral histories.  The comanches did not have a written
language, until they were bought, into the reservations.  And when a
person dies, they don't speak the person's name again.

So, like I said.  Record your oral histories, so that you posterity,
can know them, and can get to know you.

Jonathan

As Joseph, mentioned in this email,  I am in the process, of updating
my Mexican Family History Resoucre disk.  There were several problems, 
with the prior version, such as links not working and a few other
things.  These are being corrected, also  I am removing lots, of the
material, that was written by others, and replacing it, with material
that I have written myself.  The reason, that I am doing this, is
because, I am in the procress, of trying to get the disc, approved for
use in the FHL in Salt Lake.

For those, who would like a copy of the new version.  It will be
available, in about a week.  The cost is $10.00, that is to cover,
cost of producing the disc and shipping.

Jonathan

Also, Those of you who have received, the prior version.  Could you
please send a email, to the group saying what you have thought about
the disc.

Thanks!  Yes, I know where my name derives from, but it's just not the same because everyone calls me "Peggy Sue" "Peggy Lou", or "Peggy Ann"....
But, I didn't know that a Margarita was a daisy!  I love that flower...it looks so happy and friendly.

Thanks for the kind words!
Again, Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!

Here is a list of names in MY family tree:

 

Narciso

Zerefina (or Zeferina)

Leonisio

Tranquilino

Plutarco

Abundio

Blas

Deciderio

Germana

Romualda

Abato

Tirso

Dionicio

Casimiro

Sabina

Sinecio

 

I think they're all awesome, strong names, although I don't understand some of them.  To me, they're all unique and very very cool.  I wish my mom
had named me a typical Mexican name.....I've never liked my name and got teased a lot.  Peggy, my name, sounds caucasian (nothing against caucasians, but I would have like something more .....I don't know....ethnic.......)

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

I started my genealogy research after we named our
last child.  But recently I told my wife, if I had
known the names of my great---grandparents, uncles,
and aunts, I would have named our children after them.
 She saw my list, and told me "No, Way!"  In that
case, I would of just given their middle names, like
or not, since I usually gave her first choice of
picking the first names.

I still think our early ancestor's names were
beautiful.

People seldom went by their given name, Concepcion became Chon.. 
Refugio became Cuko or Cuka, Maria de la Lus became Lucha.. my 
grandfather was Epitacio, they called him Pancho. My father is Aniceto 
but they call him Chet... Somehow when they added Don or Dona before 
the name it became even more special whatever it was... instant 
respect!

In a word--WOW!!!  Marge:)

you said: I hope I sort of answered your question

David. . .fabulous answer and I'm so glad I asked.

thanks for taking the time to share with us things we need to hear more
about and absorb. In fact why not consider adding a little here and
there and tossing in a few references and producing a podcast on this
subject. It is something that many many people need to hear and I'd be
very happy to archive your message in both Audio and written form on the
NFU podcast. What do you think?

And while we're at it what do you have to say about the addition or
subtraction of the "s" on names for example my name: Puentes. In the
older records I only see "Puente" but in the newer records it starts
showing up and persisting as "Puentes." Some folks now a days get this
big "tude" about "We are NOT Puente, we are PUENTES!" As for me I know
I'm a Puente but somewhere down the line the name got modified. . .and i
used to think it changed in the US but no, I see the change happening
in
