Accurate Transcribing: was-gedcom files

I've standardized all my spellings to conform to today's language.

At first I left the old names, they are quaint and add a certain flavor to my tree.

But my tree is too large and unwieldly for that now. Too many alternate names cause confusion and chaos.

Remember that Spanish has even changed alphabets (the Latin alphabet it utilizes today, the Arabic alphabet it used during the Moslem occupation of Iberia, and even the Hebrew alphabet)and still retained its integrity.

But you wouldn't retain a name in the original Arabic if you found a record of yours in that language.

The data has to remain accesible to the broadest possible audience. Most modern readers would not be familiar with old spellings. It would distract from the main thrust of our interest, in my opinion.

Maria Ruano's Siblings

Actually, I found five individuals whom I believe are siblings for Yolanda's grandmother, Maria Ruano. There may be more, but the IGI database for Nochistlan only goes up to 1875. Unless the microfilms for the years after 1875 are indexed, it will necessitate going through them entry by entry to find any others.

JOSE JUAN RUANO ULLOA -- IGI Batch # J606251 -- Film # 0226673
Parents: CANUTO RUANO -- MARIA LADISLAO ULLOA
Christening: 28 Dec 1867 Nochstlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

MARIA FELIPA RUANO ULLOA -- IGI Batch # C606252 -- Film # 0226674
Parents: CANUTO RUANO -- MARIA ULLOA
Christening: 2 May 1869 Nochstlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

JOSE SEVERIANO RUANO ULLOA -- IGI Batch # J606253 -- Film # 0226675
Parents: CANUTO RUANO -- MARIA ULLOA
Christening: 28 Aug 1871 Nochstlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

JOSE PEDRO RUANO ULLOA -- IGI Batch # J606253 -- Film # 0226675
Parents: CANUTO RUANO -- MARIA ULLOA
Christening: 20 Oct 1872 Nochstlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

MA. TORIBIA RUANO ULLOA -- IGI Batch # C606254 -- Film # 0226676
Parents: CANUTO RUANO -- MARIA ULLOA
Christening: 18 Apr 1875 Nochstlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

P.S. And yes, Charles Clark and Pat Corbera's husband are related about two dozen ways although I think the closest relationship is 4th cousins 1 time removed.

Jerez and de la Torre

I am trying to trace my de la Torre's in and around Guadalajara and
Tepatitlan de Morelos. What I know is Jose de la Torre and Elena
Romero had at least four children: Sofia (b. ca. 1881), Adolfo,
Leopold, and Beatriz. I have photos of Beatriz and Adolfo. Sofia de
la Torre married Castulo Romero around 1900/1904 and had four
children: Rosendo, b. 1904; Salvador, b . 1906; Ramon, b. 1907; and
Elena, b. 1910. Is there any trace of this de la Torre family in
your records? Rosendo, Ramon, and Elena immigrated to the U.S. in
the early 1920's.

keeping track of changing surnames

<<<"......I've standardized all my spellings to conform to today's language.
At first I left the old names, they are quaint and add a certain flavor to my tree.
But my tree is too large and unwieldly for that now.........">>>

Long ago I stopped entering the exact name written on church or legal records,
there were simply too many variations. Even some priests spelled their names
three different ways on the same record.

So like Ernie and Alicia and others with large data bases, I started standardizing
all my surnames and keeping the original spelling in the notes - but quickly ran into
even more of a problem. With thousands of surnames over a span of 400 years,
it was very difficult to quickly pick out the individual I was researching, especially
when sharing information with someone else.

Now what I do is a kind of trick entry: if there are 100 Joses with the same basic
surname, the Joses born in the 1800's or later are entered as Jose; the ones born
in the 1700's are entered as Joseph; the ones born in the 1600's as Jocephe. For
women, Josefa for 1800's or later, Josepha for pre 1800's, or Getrudis for one
century, and Xetrudis for another. With this way of entering names, I can still keep
something of the 'original flavor', as Ernie says, and also at a glance I can tell in
which century the individuals were born, as those born in the same century will be
grouped together. Same with the surnames: LOPEZ is for the ones born after 1800;
LOPES for the ones before 1800. CALVILLO for those born after 1800, CALBILLO for
1700's. BASQUES for 1600's, VASQUES for 1700's, VASQUEZ for 1800's.

Does anybody out there knows an easy way to find a member's E-mail address so he (she) can be contacted directly?

I sure miss the "who is who" members directory from the old site...

Haplogroup R1B1. Haplotype 99.

I got my expanded 67 marker YDNA test results this week from Family Tree, over a month late. Apprentely, they are still fine tuning this latest test. The most expansive YDNA test on the market. When I signed on for it they only offered 59 markers, but they decided to extend it.

So far I don't have any matches at the 67 maker point.

Has anyone else here tested the same as me? Haplogroup R1B1 and haplotype 99?

My mtDNA tested Haplogroup B.

You can see my entire DNA sequence at either my Alderete, or Moctezuma DNA Projects listed below.

Worldconnect site

I just found Worldconnect and discovered my files there! I didn't know I sent them.. Do the sites share information since I did sent these files to Ancestryfamily Tree. This was a surprise to me but I'm glad there is more than one place my files can be accessed.

a surprised Linda in B.C.

For Yolie: Preparing for Visit to FHC

This is what I have found necessary to take to the FHC:

briefcase, with dividers, pockets;
three pens, two black, one red;
a turquoise Sharpie;
mini dry-line correction tapes (you will make boo-boos)
small post-it notes in two colors
an oblong magnifying glass (some FHCs don't have the 60x viewers that really blow images up);
a clip board with loose-leaf pre-printed forms for transcribing records (see form in Nuestros Ranchos files);
a folder to carry extra pre-printed forms;
a pale green sheet of paper (to place on the reader surface to cut the glare)
scratch paper;
individually wrapped anti-bacterial wipes to wipe down surfaces, handles, etc. on readers and keyboards
lists or pedigree charts of individuals known to you for each of your lines, with birthdates, places, etc.
(I now carry a small binder with printouts of the WorldConnect trees I have placed online).
warm sweater to ward off drafts (some places have the air-conditioning on full blast);
bottled water; thermos for hot drink; (do not place near keyboard, only near readers)
lunch bag with sandwich, salad, fruit and or snacks, etc.;
your cell phone;
checkbook and/or cash to pay for copies made and ordering, renewing films

Once you order films, you will be given a patron's copy of the order slip (usually pink). It lists the film number, the locality (title of record), your name and phone number, and it will indicate in a check box if it is a short term, first renewal or extended (permanent) loan. I keep the various slips clipped together in the aforementioned categories, with a piece of scratch paper clipped to the top of each batch to indicate what is in each batch. With the turquoise sharpie, I write in "done" when I complete viewing the entire film, and make a separate batch for those.

If I have to stop in the middle of a film, I place a strip of 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch paper folded over the place in the film where I have to pick up viewing again. Then I don't have to write down what page, etc I was on. I then carefully rewind the film making sure the slip of paper stays in place.

The people in the FHC will show you how to load and unload the film from the readers, and how to make photocopies of records you want to keep. I have so many direct ancestors on each film (they lived in the same locality for hundreds of years), that I just transcribe the records, five to a sheet. (Today I filled five sheets). I only photocopy those records where I have had a brick wall, kind of like keeping an award to frame for a goal accomplished.

I am technically challenged and have not gone the advanced route that Arturo and Joseph and others have, such as taking tripods and digital cameras to photograph images from the readers, etc. None of the FHCs where I have gone have the kind of digital copiers either. I have to unload the film from the reader and load it onto another reader that can also photocopy the frames on the films. I have also seen advanced researchers take their laptops or other little gadgets to download things to, but I know nothing of that. I get along just fine anyway.

Good luck on your research,

gedcom files

I just looked at the gedcom files section for the first time and found how interesting it is that I made so many mistakes! I don't think I'm alone but boy what a shocker to find the same families under so many different headings, no wonder our ancestors are so hard to find.. For example, it could read De La Cueva, Cueva or Cuevas. V's and B's are interchangable so are they Viramontes or Miramontes, Cortez or Cortes, De La Paz, Paz or Pas.. the same goes for cities or ranchos.. Just in one Rancho I've found it as Los Rodartes, Rodartes and Rodarte... Aros, Aro or Los Haro, Los Haros... so much for me to learn yet.. I don't think I'm the only one who's gotten confused more than once!

For Yolie

Yolie,

I forgot to mention that when you fill out your transcription sheets, make sure that at the top of each you write in the film number, locality, type of records and dates, etc. You don't want to try to figure out the source later.

When I get home I file the sheets immediately in binders in chronological order and I highlight the surnames in yellow, and I post new information to the pedigree charts then to my online WorldConnect trees. I keep the sheets indexed in binders by Census, Births, Marriages, Deaths, LDS films, Messages, Other Resources. In the front of each binder I put the pedigree charts or printouts of the trees from the online Family Tree or World Connect.

Keep all your sheets organized from the beginning in binders, one for each line. If you don't, you will have sheets and notes all over and get confused.

Novice's 1st attempt

Dear list,
Ok, this is way toooo freaky! I posted 4 the 1st time last week with the encouragement of Alicia Carillo. My Post was in reference to my mother, Maria de Jesus Bravo & Gparents Ladislao Bravo & Maria Tinoco from La Ribera Jalisco. Separately & without mention in my post, I have also been searching (about 2 years) 4 info on my paternal gparents, Bernardino Lopez & Donaciana Gutierres from Guanajuato. Last evening I received an email from Erlinda (Linda in BC) providing me listings for them! Yes, that's excitement you detect in my e-voice! I just wanted to publicly thank Nuestros Ranchos, Alicia and of course, Linda in BC!

Another Nuestros Ranchos Jauregui relation

Yoli,
Another member of Nuestros Ranchos, Olivia Jauregui Reyes has some of your same ancestors. Go to≥ FILE≥ MEMBERS GENEAOLOGY≥OLIVIA JAUREGUI REYES≥NICOLAS TRANQULINO JAUREGUI, and you will find in her ancestry, Rosalio Jauregui and Pomposa Gonzales of Nochistlan. I think If remember correctly you were also related to a few other people from this group, It may have been Pat Corbera's husband Tino but I could be mistaken, give it a look.
Sincerely, Alicia Avelar Olmos de Carrillo

Yoli,

I found your great grandparents marriage record today at my local family history center as this film is on permanent loan. LDS Film # 0226733. They were married 3 May 1871. Rosalio Jauregui, soltero de veinte un años, 21 years of age, originario y vecino de La Estancia, meaning Rosalio was from La Estancia, legitimate son of Salvador Jauregui who was living and Carina or Corina Vidaurre who was deceased. Pomposa Gonzales, celibate 16 years of age, also from La Estancia, legitimate daughter of Nicomedes Gonzales & Anastacia Saldivar both of whom were still living.

Digest Etiquette

Hello,

If you are subscribed to the email lists via the Digest mode there are
two important things you must do EVERY TIME:

1) change the subject to reflect the message you are sending. . .do not
send a message to the whole list with the subject being "Digest"

2) do not click reply and send BECAUSE you will include the whole DIGEST
message in with your message. You should find the very specific part of
the DIGEST message you are replying to and cut out the rest of the
DIGEST or cut and paste the appropriate part into another email. That

Hi all . . . Hope you all enjoy a safe July 4th celebration.

If you happen to watch the Washington, D.C. parade July 4th, be sure and
look for the float of the Texas Connection to the American Revolution.
Jack Cowan and the TCARA members from Texas are being joined by Joseph
Puentes from North Carolina who will be pulling the float and
reenactors, Micheal Lozano and Hector Diaz from Maryland.

Thank all of you for the wonderful materials, fresh research, and
forwarded current events. If anyone has submitted an article for Somos
Primos and it has not been published within two months of when it was
sent, please send it along again. Sometimes in sorting mail and
submissions, articles get lost in the shuffle.

Thank you for your encouraging letters . . . you are all making a
difference in the general perception of who we are . . . we are more
than a stereotype, and that is coming out . . . little by little.

God bless, Mimi
