Thank you Alicia,

Sure sounds like an interesting story. I will answer him. Maybe he

have a listen to the Nuestra Familia Unida for a couple of very good
History podcasts from the "Here On Earth" podcast.

the first is about the 700+ years of Muslim Occupation of Spain:
http://nuestrafamiliaunida.com/podcast/history.html

the second is about the Foods of America:
http://nuestrafamiliaunida.com/podcast/comida.html

also if you get a chance have a listen to several new Oral History audio
files by Frank Moreno Sifuentes:
http://nuestrafamiliaunida.com/podcast/oral_history.html

[Note: the first two podcast from Here On Earth are formatted to Real
Player. If you don't have Real Player on your computer it would be well
worth downloading this free software just to listen to the podcasts. You
can download it free here: http://www.real.com/player --- make sure you
get the free one as they will try to sell you their $20 version which is
only worth it if you are going to use it alot]

Will someone please translate this for me. The translation online
was confusing. Thank you.

HI LINDA,
YO SOY DE TEPATITLAN, Y MI MAMA ES ROMERO, MI ABUELA SE
LLAMABA FELICIANA ROMERO, CASADA CON JESUS ENRIQUEZ, ELLA MURIO MUY
JOVEN, a el papa de mi abuelo lo ahorcaron por robarle a ver si les
suena familiar, no se el ano exacto de su muerte pero debe haber sido
por el 1925 no se voy a indagar no se si te suene familiar el nombre
de Irineo De LA Torre. en fin despues si gustas platicaremos.

Greetings from Switzerland! I took some R&R time in Italy and found someone
born in Mexico and buried in Italy! I went to Venice a couple of weeks ago
and took a water taxi across the lagoon from Venice to the Island of St.
Michele. It is a walled cemetery island in a quiet garden setting and a
wide variety of memorials. I did not look at all the burial sites since it
is extremely large but, as fate would have it, I found a beautiful burial
site of a gentleman named Salvador Yturbide. The tombstone reads:

"Salvador Yturbide, nacido en Mejico el 18 Setiembre 1849, muerto en
Ajaccio 26 Febreri 1895."

I took a picture of this and will share with anyone who may connect to this
gentleman.

I'm so happy to introduce Frank Moreno Sifuentes to the Nuestra Familia
Unida podcast community. In this series of Oral History Cuentos expect
to hear about one family, but the experiences are those of an immigrant
nation. In the introductory Cuento "Las Lagrimas de Mama Grande Juanita
- 1938" You'll hear of a family that endured hardship as immigrants in
this country in the hopes of a better life for "la familia."

Welcome to Chicken Soup for the Latino Soul

Along with Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and the 73 contributing
authors whose wonderful stories and poems are reaching out to thousands
across the nation, I welcome you to the Latino Soul website. Chicken
Soup for the Latino Soul brings together some of the most talented
voices and insightful perspectives in American storytelling today. It is
a book by, for and about Latin@ people, but its diverse, blockbuster
stories and poems have appeal for ALL readers (of course it won't hurt
if you're already interested in Latino life in the USA, and the richness
of Latino cultures and storytelling!). Latino Soul is a book to be read
and reread, to be shared and treasured. Everytime you come back to the
book, you will discover something new. Here's what Emmy award-winning
journalist Catherine Anaya says about Latino Soul:

"Chicken Soup for the Latino Soul: Celebrating La Comunidad Latina is a
collection of powerful stories and poems written by people from all over
the country. They are stories about family, loyalty to our parents, the
wisdom of our grandparents, the deep sense of faith in the community,
and so much more... The stories will make you laugh, they'll make you
cry and if you're like me, you'll finish the book with an even greater
sense of Latino strength and pride" (Catherine Anaya, Latino
Perspectives Magazine, www.latinoperspectivesmagazine.com). But don't
take anyone's word for it! Check out the selection of featured stories
in The Book section and see for yourself why everyone is praising Latino
Soul.

Dear Joseph Puentes:
Thank you for your interest in the Texas Connection to the American
Revolution Association (TCARA) and its participation in our Nation's
Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C.
TCARA is planning to participate in the parade again this year but
with the addition of a small float (Approx. 16') towed by vehicle. We
anticipate approximately 15+ in our group but would like MANY more. So
if you would like to join us at the parade, we would love to welcome you
and anyone you bring.
We will be in American Revolutionary "period dress" but that is NOT
a prerequisite. Some of us will walk and some (especially those that
can't walk) will ride the float. We are also in need of a driver for the
vehicle that is towing the float and possibly to help coordinate local
support.
Our website is www.TCARA.NET and I can be
reached via telephone at 210-651-4709 (San Antonio). Let me know if you
can make the parade and I will keep you posted as the details of our
plans develop.
Again, please accept this as your invitation to participate with
TCARA in the Independence Day Parade and by all means, invite your friends.

VIVA TCARA!
Jack Cowan
President, TCARA

Many thanks to all who have contributed to my project on Chihuahua.

I intend to follow up my study on Chihuahua with one on Aguascalientes along the same broad outlines.

So if you have any books you can part with on Aguascalientes, or old family photos to share, please let me know.

I will need volunteers to translate books from Spanish to English in their own hmes. Any volunteers will be credited in the finished work.

Seguro que leo, escribo y hablo castellano. Mi mama es de Hidalgo del Parral y tengo mucho orgullo de ser parte de una cultura tan alta como la Mexicana.

Pueden mandarme fotos antiguos familiares y libros hisotricos y genealogicos de Chihuahua y Aguascalientes a su gusto.

Por email o a mi domicilio:

No estoy interesado en dinero. Solo ayudar a los que buscan sus raices y mejorar el imagen de nuestra gente.

I'm not interested in money. Only in helping fellow researchers and improving the image of our people.

I'm writing an English language guide to the genealogy and history of Chihuahua that I think will be of use to everyone tracing their roots to Chihuahua.

I need additional source material. In particular books on Chihuahua's history and genealogy as well as family narratives. There must be several hundred books on the subject, virtualy 99% in Spanish, most out of print, most had small print runs in the first place, many were printed by small concerns in out of the way towns and pueblos.

I can translate and synthesize all the information into one English language source.

If you have a book that might be of help, please let me know. If you donate a book, or pamphlet you will receive a copy of the completed study.

If you rather sell your material, I'm willing to buy.

Used, worn out copies are just fine. I'm not looking for a handsome library, just a lot of information.

You are welcome to donate scans of your family photos of Chihuahua. Pictures of people and places, the landscape, the way life used to be.

I have hundreds of pictrures already, but you never know what might show up.

I don't intend this to be the typical Pancho Villa dominated story. It will tell the story of all of our people, all our families, not just mine.

I think I can paint an exciting and accurate narrative as well as supply the facts and create a guide.

> Arturo & Joseph,

I believe that priests (maybe only some?) are still required to submit
genealogical type of information. The reason I say this is that I visited
an Uncle of mine who lives in the Rancho de San Nicolás de los Abundis a few
years ago. He is interested in genealogy and has done some research, so I
brought him a pedigree chart that I printed for him. His comment to me was
that it would've been nice for his son (who is an ordained priest) to have
had that chart when he needed it to present to the Archdiocese. I assume
from this comment that priests still submit their genealogies before being
ordained.

Hello All! long time no posting! Anyway, when someone posts a new "genealogical" file, or edit's one...how does everyone/anyone find out? The reason I ask is that I added to new files to my tree and wondered how anyone would know to go there and look at it?

If there is something else that I'm not doing, then I guess this is my notification.....here it goes...

I'm very excited to tell you all that I've been moving forward in my research and have found two more "limbs" in my family tree that landed in Zacatecas! Please view my "Baez Family" file and my "Oviedo Family". This is my maternal line - one that I didn't think would interest this group because my researched centered in Coahuila...it turns out this road led me to Noria de Angeles, Zacatecas, Fresnillo Zacatecas and Zacatecas Zacatecas.

Hope all the Mother's out there had a great day - I know I did....

Hi All,

Charles asked me this question and since my research is not around
Nochistlan I thought I'd forward this on to the group. If any of you all
have this information maybe it would be good to make a file in the
reference area of the group for the Estancias.

thanks,

joseph

From: Charles Clark
To: Joseph Puentes

Joseph:

Do you have a list of the La Estancias ... in and around Nochistlan?

I have been looking for the complete name of the birth place of my
grandfather, Pedro Rodriguez born in 1883 in "La Estancia." He was
married to Maria Ulloa and they had many many common ancestors with many
of them listed in Jose Luis Vasquez y Rodriguez de Frias' book. That is
how the place was described by my mother and her sisters but I know
that that was only part of the name. I thought that the birth
certificate would give the full name except that it is too hard to read.
I recently saw pictures of it and it seemed a bit larger than I
expected. I also saw pictures of his house which I am told is over 300
years old.

As always, I appreciate any help you can give me.

Sincerely,

Charles Clark

Nathan,

Is this the same Diego ROMO DE VIVAR that was born 12 Mar 1589 in Relves,
Toledo, Espana? If so, he is my 8th GGrandfather.

Gracias to all member that responded favorable.
My project has taken me from prehispanic time to the present(1968-71). I have tried to incorporate several short stories "cuentos" and novels that has a "Fiesta" or celebration of somewhere within the drama/dialog. Some have a political overtone, but I feel strongly that the message must continue and that more mexicanos/hispanics/chicanos must be aware. I hope I don't offend or shock anyone. Thanks, Francisco.

Gracias a todos los miembros que respondieron favorable.

He tratado de incorporar algunos cuentos y novelas que se refieren a una "fiesta o a una celebracion dentro de la drama/dialogo. Algunos de los cuentos tienen un tono politico, pero creo que el mensaje tiene que continuar y espero que mas mexicanos/as/hispanos/chicanos/ tienen que darse cuenta. Espero no ofender o alarmar a nadie. Gracias Francisco

PS/PD Lo siento pero el trabajo esta en Espanol..I'm sorry but the project was done in Spanish.

Ok I have created a file in NUESTROS RANCHOS web page, the file name is fiestas mexicanas project or proyecto a ranchos.doc

Okay I finally got around to stripping the living people out of my
gedcom and uploading it to the Gedcom section of the group: have a look
at it when you have some time.

Here is how I was told by a member of the Family Tree Maker lysis group
to Strip the living individuals from a FTM gedcom:

Make a backup of your file just in case Murphy's law strikes!

go to File, preference, privatize
or
File, privatize, depending on which version you have

file, copy/export the privatized file - name it something that you will
recognize as being a COPY of your file - like temp-privatized-file

Un-privatize & then close your regular file
-------------------

now this part is very very very important:

Open the privatized COPY!!! of your file

Make sure you are working with the privatized COPY!!! of your file

make a custom report that includes everyone with the word "Private" in
Birth, Death, Marriage, etc. field

people, delete individuals in Report

file, copy/export the file into a gedcom. . .since this is from the
privatized copy that has now just had all the individuals that were
marked private DELETED from the file you can create a gedcom that will
be free of any living individuals.

Por favor comparte tu trabajo con nosotros. A mi me gustari mucho leerlo. Si quieres, puedes crear una carpeta de archivos y montar el trabajo ahi y luego nos puedes avisar donde pusiste el trabajo.

Please share your work with us. I for one would love to read it. If you like, you can create a file folder and upload it there and then advise the group where the work is located.

hmmm, can anyone help?

My Paternal Family Tree is now uploaded and ready for you to view.

It is entitled FROM MOCTEZUMA to ALDERETE and is very extensive. I hope it can be of use to you in your research. Considering our field of research I suspect I'm related to a whole lot of you.
I, of course, hope to expand the tree and verifying it more completely. That may well be my life's work.

I have taken a three pronged approach to my ancestry. Oral tradition told me I was descended from Emperor Moctezuma. The paper trail confirmed family tradition. Now I am working to confirm that ancestry thru DNA testing.

Thank you for finding that.

I'll bet he's the other General Trini Rodriguez. If he died in 1914 it makes sense that Pancho Villa adopted his son as his own.

I saw the original baptismal announcement at the Villa Museum in Parral. The child's name was Samuel Rodriguez and the godparents were Francisco Villa and Luz Corral.

Although the date of birth works. My great grandpa Jose Rodriguez Montoya was born in Parral in 1867. He had an older brother born in 1859, and a younger brother born in 1871. There could have been an even yonger brother born around 1880.

My grandfather, Nicolas Rodriguez Contreras was born in 1890, son of Grandpa Jose Rodriguez Montoya and Maria Leonor Anizeta Contreras, his first wife.

Nicolas was mayor of Parral and principal of the school during the Pershing Incursion. He rallied his students to stop the gringos. He told them the gringos would not pass Parral, if they did the road would be wide open to Mexico City. My mamacita tells me the American soldiers cried for their mothers when my grandpa's students attacked them with farm implements and sticks and stones.

They rode straight for the border and never violated Mexican soil again.

I got a monthly email from Genealogia del Norte de Mexico, so that site is not quite dead.

I took another look at it, and couldn’t find anything more than a single word, “password,” in English. My Spanish is pretty strong, but I’m sure I miss some subtle nuances, especially in technical passages. So I still hope to find an English-language genealogical website for Northern Mexico.

The webmaster at Genealogia also sent me a personal email saying he has two, or three more generations on my ancestor DIEGO ROMO de VIVAR. But he hasn’t come across with the data yet.

Is there anyone here working on the Mexican Revolution that can answer a question for me? My mother always told me her uncle was General Trinidad Rodriguez. My mother is still with me, but at 87, and with Alzheimer’s she’s not a reliable source anymore.

I remember her taking me as a teenager to meet Pancho Villa’s widow, Luz Corral de Villa, in Chihuahua. I believe I remember General Trinidad Rodriguez’s tomb was right in front of Luz’s house. My mother told me at the time that his headless corpse was interred there.

Last year, my sister and I went to Chihuahua to investigate our maternal heritage. We visited the Pancho Villa Museums in Chihuahua and Hidalgo del Parral. The museum in Parral is housed in my grandmother’s (Maria de las Nieves Porras) birth home. Villa was assassinated right outside her window. His Dodge crashed into a tree right in front of the stately house.

But, I found out there are TWO Generals Trinidad Rodrigues!
A moreno General Trinidad Rodriguez Quintanilla, who is not my relation, and a white General Trinidad Rodriguez, perhaps Rodriguez Montoya. Neither museum could shed any light on my question. They sell pictures of both generals, and say one Trinidad was an intimate friend of Pancho Villa’s, and in fact adopted Villa’s son after Pancho died. I suspect that is the Quintanilla general.

I haven’t found any birth record on either Rodriguez general, nor bio data more than a line, or two. Virtually nothing in encyclopedias. But there is a town in suburban Chihuahua, Chihuahua named after, I believe, my General Trini.

I have birth records on my mother’s grandfather, Jose Rodriguez Montoya, and his three sons. I suspect Trinidad is his fourth son, or brother. Jose struck it rich in the gold rush in the last part of the 19th century in Chihuahua, and had a ranch called Rancho Los Tres Hermanos.

Arturo and group:

In George Ryskamp's book, Tracing Your Hispanic Heritage, Chapter 12 is
dedicated to notarial records.

He says, on p. 437, "The most difficult problem confronting the researcher
using notarial records can be locating them." They can be kept on the
provincial (state) level, the district level, in local archives, and in
private, ecclesiastical or other government archives.

He also says (pp. 443-444), "All of the major historical archives will have
a list of the notaries whose records appear in their collections. In many
archives...these lists will be arranged in two separate sections. The first
will be an alphabetical listing of the notaries by surname, containing all
of the notaries whose protocolos appear in the archives...years such
protocolos cover, and...locality in which the notario...served. The
second...listing will be a geographical listing of all...towns from which
protocolos have been assembled in a particular archives. Under...each town
will appear the name of the notary or notaries from that town whose records
appear in the archives...with an indication as to the years...."

You have an abstract of a document at the Archivo General de la Nacion
regarding two notarios, but it is very possible that their protocolos, if
they survived, were kept on a different level than the Archivo Historico de
Jalisco.

This book is a great resource.

There was a discussion last week about finding out who were the escribanos
and how they worked. I am pretty sure that each escribano was given a
jurisdiccion where he was responsible, so this confirms that in the early
1700s there was an escribano assigned to Jerez y el Valle de Tlaltenango,
which at that time, I believe was considered a single municipal entity,
split in half by Colotlan which was under a military government under the
direct jurisdiccion of the Viceroy of New Spain, i.e. not Nueva Galicia:

Dear Readers. . .

Surely May 1, 2006 will be considered a pivotal day in the history of
the United States. We can thank the leadership, with great satisfaction
for the very orderly way the marches and boycotts were conducted.

Just received this gripping cartoon by Sergio Hernandez. Hopefully the
energetic, but peaceful voices will change the perspective of many
concerned with the increasing numbers of Hispanic/Latinos in the U.S..

Reference to the historical contributions past as well as present were
frequent in the interviews in both the English and Spanish language on
the radio and TV stations.

For you interest and support is a copy of the Senate Bill pertaining to
the feasibility of a National Museum of the American Latino Community is
the first item under U.S.

Hope you enjoy the Cinco de Mayo photo taken by Somos Primos reader
Robert Gonzalez serving in the Navy in Japan. Please feel invited to
send photos demonstrating that the Hispanic presence is, and was, all
over the world in the past, as in the present.

Warm regards, Mimi
