Yes, Alicia,
I also have wondered where a correspondent on the group lives, and thinking it would be helpful to those reading my e-mails, I usually end my e-mails with my full name and where I am located. I often wish others would do likewise.

Alicia, Right. A "rancho" refers in México to a small plot of land dedicated either to agricultural farming or animal husbandry. It can have one or more houses and it usually is the property of a single family. An "hacienda" is like a ranch but on a much larger scale, it can have many houses and people, usually the owners and the workers that attend the fields and animals. A "poblado" is a community or settlement of people larger than a rancho or hacienda, but smaller than a village. The Mexican equivalent of a village is a "villa" or a "pueblo". This is the intermediate entity between a poblado and a "ciudad" or city.

Literaly, rancho translates as ranch or farm.

El Rancho del Durazno in 2005 has abt 150 homes and 350 people, I would have to call it a village...Maybe when it started Rancho was appropriate but now it's just tradition.. I would think that in 1575 it was a working rancho... Linda

She grew up in the same town that my husband was born in, El Valle de Guadalupe, Michoacan - not too far from Jalisco's border town of La Barca, closer to Zamorra. She told me that when she was younger (she is now a woman of about 28 years), the custom was to not only have an alter, but on All Soul's Day, the family would cook a favorite food of their deceased and take it to the cemetery. She said that her and her friends would sneak over to the cemetery and eat the food. She would laugh as she remembered the elders who would exclaim that it was probably the "spirit of the dead" that gratefully acknowledged their gift by eat it. Esperanza

I am beginning to think my father's father was a 'myth'!! I went to the obispadozacatecas.org.mx/M7.htm site, but I don't understand what it is. Can you educate me? Regards, Carol Lester
Hello group, I've finally posted all my data on Ancestry.com. Most of the work is from the District of Jerez Zacatecas. If you are looking for any family from there please check my file online and go to index and it will give you all the names listed in my data. I hope I have something that's of use to others in the group. I'm just now really getting into the records from Atoyac, Zapotlan El Grande/Ciudad Guzman, Zapotiltic and Tamazula de Gordiano Jalisco. If you put Castanon, Zacatecas Mexico it will give you my file, go from there! Linda
Whose file is this?
I would really like to keep genealogies off of the public archives.
Remember the messages are open to the public and the genealogies are
restricted to members only.
Please don't send genealogies to the group via an email. If you want
your genealogies put into your file you need to send it to me and I'll
add it to your file. If you are new to the group I'll make up a folder
for you in "YahooBriefcase" and add a link to your work in the links
area under "AAAA-Genealogies"

What I think is good about the database is that when you open it up,
you are given that "Search This Table" input box. If you type in a
surname or a location, it lists out all the people searching that
surname and or location. A very useful feature, be sure to try it.
The fields in the table are: Name
Email Address {optional}[but provide it anyway, jp]
Research Surnames {Surnames you are researching.}
Research Location {Cities, Towns, Ranchos that your ancestors are from.}

They still bury people in that cemetery. I saw the grave diggers taking dirt out of an existing burial so that it could accommodate a coffin atop of the existing one! Some families are so poor that they bury relatives atop of existing coffins/sites. Yes, when I was inside that old cemetery I felt that I was among my past relatives.
