I've run across a surname that does not comply with the traditional Mexican progression of surnames. In other words, the name of the person is not followed by the surname of the father, then the surname of the mother.
if you saw a little boy running around the store sometimes then it might
have been me. Then again it could easily have been one of my many
cousins. You never know but you and I might have met or as little kids

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.
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.
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,

Emilie Garcia's GARCIA-CERVANTES and OLAGUE-TINAJERO [FELIX] trees are now in the GEDCOM database. These trees are also available on Ancestry.com but now they are searchable from within the Nuestros Ranchos site along with over a dozen other members' trees.
Isn't that you, Joseph, and Figen, in photo #18? I
hope you had a good time while in DC, and didn't get
caught in that sudden gully-washer of a storm that we
had on the afternoon of the 4th.

any of the pictures they will be online through July but will be removed

Help:
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...
I've tried several times but I can't get connected to worldconnect.
What is the url? I've tried http://www.rootsweb.worldconnect.com but
it doesn't work.

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.

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.
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)
