Probably most of you know about Google street view by now. This company already photographed most of the streets in the United States and now has gone international. I searched in Jalisco, and to my surprise, they have already photographed several cities and town. I was browsing the site and they show street images of pretty much all of Guadalajara, Zapopan and the metropolitan area. I also noticed that they have some of the main roads in some ranchos we are researching on this website:
Ameca
Villa Corona
Acatlan de Juarez
Chapala
Tala
Tequila
Ixtlahuacan del Rio
La Barca
Ocotlan
Tepatitlan
Atotonilco el Alto
Arandas
San Juan de los Lagos
Lagos de Moreno
Teul
Juchipila
Tlaltenango
Well, the list is long, so I'll stop here. I just thought some of you might be interested in checking the streets where your ancestors lived, or maybe rembember the time when you visited your rancho.
To check this, just go to http://maps.google.com/ . On the map on the right, zoom in to Jalisco, and then just grab and drag the little yellow guy over one of the highlighted roads and you are in!

Jalisco on Google Street view.
Yes, this is a great tool for family historians! In fact so much so that one almost feels compelled to travel to the site in person, no?
