Hi, Everyone:

I am sorry I do not contribute very often. While I have made some very
important and significant connections with those with whom I share a common
ancestor (thanks to this forum), my area of research and family is not
shared by the more active members of this group. So, my apologies for not
taking part in discussions, etc. Add to this the fact that our computer is
on again and off again quite often, so I tend to get way behind in what is
being discussed in this forum. I have also taken on some new
responsibilities over the past several months that have severely curtailed
my research all around. So.... I am very lucky to have the time that I do
have to go through a little bit of a microfilm, check out Family Search, or
to send a message to this group now and then: Just to let you know I'm still
here, still doing my research and wish you all the best of luck in your
searching!

By the way, I just discovered the Aguascalientes church records on the
family search pilot website. I was going to order a microfilm that I
learned was on this site, so I saved 5.95 when I found the exact record I
was looking for, which cost me only 10 cents to simply print it out! How
easy can that be? And, Sergio, whom I work with on our shared family
history, emailed me the document from that site, so I didn't even have to
put it on my flashdrive or figure out how to send it to him! Isn't that
great?

Well, thank-you and I hope you are all doing well in your research and in
all areas of your lives!
