Well it is that time again............time to do your shopping and get ready for Capirotada. Tomorrow is fat Tuesday as they say in New Orleans but for "nosotros los Mexicanos" it is time to prepare for Ash Wednesday. Not only do we prepare capirotada but we begin to prepare all the other lenten meals which means meatless pero muy sabroso.   Today we purchased el pan bolillo at the panaderia La Sonorense. Tomorrow we slice the bread lengthwise and toast it in the oven. Hubby diced all the dried fruit today to use for the capirotada. He shelled the peanuts and will toast them tomorrow. He went to Supermercado Mexico today and purchased Canela, piloncillo, tomatillos, queso Oaxaca and we will be ready to roll tomorrow.   For the rest of the meal we bought nopales, dried favas which in spanish are habas and the dried, powdered shrimp. We will make tortas de camaron con nopales en mole rojo. We will shell
and clean the favas and boil until soft, then will saute with chopped onions, minced garlic and diced fresh tomatoes. In the morning we have one very light breakfast as this is a day of fasting which means you have lighter than usual meals. For lunch we will have the favas and for late afternoon the tortas de camaron con nopales y mole rojo. Will have the family over in the late afternoon to share a meal and a prayer and then off to church for Ash Wednesday.   These are my family's traditions from Tlachichila Zacatecas.   Happy Fat Tuesday to all........Alicia Avelar Olmos de Carrillo

Okay folks I would like to EMPHASIZE that you all should be carefully
checking out the http://nuestrosranchos.org website. It won't be very
very long before we start a push toward making the full transition over
to the new site. Arturo has built a great website that has everything
that the Yahoo group had that we were using. If I were you I would mosey
over there and click on a few links and upload a few files and join the
forums and reply to the confirmation emails and upload some pictures and
basically experiment around.

For those of you that feel comfortable with the sites features why not
go to the Yahoo Website and see what you have in your "genealogy
folder." Then make a duplicate folder for yourself on the new site. No
sense in rushing but this will be good practice and Arturo has made it
so easy that I would like everyone to learn how to use these features of
the new site. Don't worry Arturo and I and Rosalinda will be here to
help you if you need help.

thanks for your patience and participation,

joseph

Dear primos, family, and friends. . .  

Hope all are well in this season of spontanous weather changes . . .



To facilitate searching through previous issues of Somos Primos, my
grandson Luke have created a single file of all the Tables of
Contents for the 2002-2005 issues. 



All the Tables of Contents are connected, which means you can do a category
search based on the division in Somos Primos, such as BLACK or SPAIN,
or a keyword search  on the titles.  An overview of the
contents of Issues 2000 and 2001 is facilitated by the use of a subject
index created by John P. Schmal.



Once you have identified the issues of interest, then go the homepage
and click to any issue of interest. Hope this helps.

ARCHAEOLOGY

Tribute to Tezcatlipoca

Excerpt: Inca Show Pits Yale Against Peru

--

Last September, at the Hispanic Genealogy Conference held @NARA,
Washington, DC, one of the presentations had to do with "Mexican
Border Crossing (Immigration) Records. The presentation was given by
Claire Prechtel-Kluskens, and most of the details of her presentation
can be found at the following NARA site:
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/immigration/border-mexico.html
It is very detailed, and should be read with care.
Some of the basics are as follows:
- records of arrivals at Mexican borders began in 1906;
- information on immigrants was initially recorded as for ship
manifests, but this proved impractical, and a system of "card
manifests" was initiated;
- if a person indicated they would be in the U.S. for less than 6
months, no record was made;
- some records are arranged alphabetically, while others are arranged
chronologically (possibly with an alphabetical index);
- to date, immigration records are available for 24 land border ports
(these are listed in the NARA site mentioned above).

My recollection is that the filming of the border crossing records is
NOT yet complete, and the majority of the El Paso records are yet to
be filmed (I think because it has the greatest number of records; the
other ports had fewer immigrants/records so they were filmed first).
To sum up, NARA is still filming Mexican border crossing records, and
may not be finished for another year or two (that was my
understanding).
I hope this is helpful to you.

I just want to express my view and comment about our recent meeting that we had in Southern California.

First of all, I offer my thanks and appreciation to Olivia Jaurequi and her husband for being such wonderful hosts. I can imagine all the hard work and preparation that it took to take care of the group. The food was delicious and plentiful. My only regret is that I started with the Mole, beans, rice, salad,and the tasty Carne Asada and by that time, I had no room for the Menudo and pan dulce! Maybe next time I'll start with the Menudo.

I got to meet my two primos, Ken Alva and Ronnie Reynoso, a couple of very nice and wonderful guys. I had previously shared information with Ken over the internet and knew that we were related. That was not the case with Ronnie until we started sharing and comparing files, we are "primos" ! What a nice surprise.
One other thing that I found out from my "new Primos" was that all three of us have a descendency line from MOCTEZUMA!
All of this just 2 days after my 65th birthday. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.

I also like to send my thanks to Rosalinda for teaching me how to improve my research skills ( I am still learning) using the IGI. She is such a knowledgeable and unselfish person, willing to share her wisdom and resources with the rest of the group.
I would recommend this type of informal meeting to the rest of the members in other parts of the country. A lot can be learned and accomplished when you are face to face with fellow members. Thanks to the other attendees for making the meeting a wonderful experience.

Jose,
 
Did you not see the message I sent regarding the H. Duff I found on the
SSDI that died in 1984 in Austin, Travis County Texas.  I also found his
family in the 1910 census in Arkansas so I knew he was born in 1903.

Hi, Mu name is Monica Medina, i'm mexican currently living in Montpellier, France.

I've started my genealogical research and I have roots in Zacatecas, this are the names:

Ines de la Rosa Sandoval (my greatgrand mother) was daugther of Juan de la Rosa and Narcisa Sandoval. They come from Fresnillo, Zacatecas I haven't found more information on dates, but I keep on researching.

Also, for the family of my mom I know that Ontiveros surname comes from Zacatecas, but i'm not 100% sure, does anyones knows if this is true?

Thank you,
Monica

Arturo has created a page of instructions. They are pretty easy to
follow and in two parts. The first part below the URL given for the
instructions on the website itself tells how to get your password. .
.key point here is NOT to create a NEW Account. Read through the
instructions. THEN---THEN---THEN after you get your password and log in
if you want to start sending messages to one of the forums you need to
follow the instructions called: "Instructions for signing up
for the mailing lists is as follows"   Here you will see
detailed instructions (very straightforword, but they do require you to
read and follow them) on how to subscribe yourself to the individual
email forums. Basically you subscribe to which ever of the 3 email
forums you want to be part of then you'll get a CONFIRMATION
email that you need to reply to. . .that's it.



Yes this is different than Yahoo but in time you will see that it is
better.



PLEASE READ below. . .very straight forword.



thanks,

Thanks to all of you who pulled this together.

I was talking to Rosalinda about the possibility of someone compiling a book
list of relevant resources.

Any discussion on how to get access to out-of-print books?

Joseph and Arturo:

Congratulations on the new website! It looks like this is the
site we all have been waiting for some time.

My personal concern is that I can't find the "Links" anymore! What
happened to them?

I personally feel that the "Links" component of the site is one, if
not, the most important of the features. It opens the door to other
very important resources to our research efforts in our quest for
education and our history. I am sure the "Nuestros Ranchos" members
will be very happy to see it as part of the new website. Please don't
leave it out.
