Nuestros Ranchos Site

Is there a master Surname list for the Ranchos group? Or a master
Place-name list? As I am fairly new to this group I haven't figured
out all the ins-and-outs of getting through all the information, so
don't know if I have overlooked that bit of information. Thank you all
for your inspiring hard work. I have ordered film - and if it stops
snowing I'll go over to the local FHC to review them (the film came in
this week, it snowed Thurs., so they were closed Thurs.& Fri -
bummer). FYI: it is film #1164736 - Valparaiso, Zacatecas - Church
records, La Purisima, Baptisms, 1911-1918; I am focusing on those
children born at Astillero (includes my father, b.1912) during that
time period. Y'all take care - have a good weekend.

Hi Peggy,

It appears to be so.  Such is the case of those films from Valparaiso 
that started this discussion.  What you can do is go to the Family 
History Library Catalog and do a Place Search

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp

Then select the place out of the list;  in the place details select 
the topic of your interest, for example, Church records.  Then in 
topic details select one of the titles.  Finaly, in the title details 
click the upper right button "View Film Details".  

There you will see all the films that are available for the locality 
of your choice, whether they are in the IGI or not.  Hope this helps!

Joseph, I'm afraid that the percentage of films yet to be captured to 
the IGI is quite significant, because using the batch number list in 
Ranchos2 and going thru the list number by number for several 
localities of my interest many of them didn't return any records.  
And I mean any records, not just the ones I'm looking for.

This is an unexpected finding for me.  Any comments?

Go to http://home.earthlink.net

If you have a problem logging on to Steve's
genealogical website, go to www.google.com and just
put-Steve Campos genealogical-and hopefully it will
come up.

There are above 22 Macias listed on Steve's website,
all from Jerez.

Good luck.

Alberto.

Victor; I don't know the percentages. I know that I have a stack of 2,500
names that must be reviewed for posting and I am still working on the film..
I think that there are others who still are working on a film for the
postings. I wish I had a book with just names to use as a reference !
After I finish there is a review of those that I've done soas to be sure
that the names i have cleared are then reviewed for correctness. Those that
still can not be read are reviewed and later posted to Salt Lake. Some I can
clearly read but have never seen such a name before.
Yes, you are correct, there are new names being cleared everyday and
sent for posting. I am working on a the baptisms for a church in South
American from 1890-1895. Others are extracting names from films in other
countries and locations. It takes a long time because I want it to be
correct and hopw someone somewhere is extracting the line I am waiting to
see.

No, I don't, but if you check Steve Campos genealogy
on our group site, I believe you may find a Macias
listed.

Good luck.

Alberto.

I just started a new Album in the Photos section of the group. It's
called Ranchero's y Rancherita's. If anyone else would care to why not
put your picture (singular) in the Album. Make sure you put your
complete name on it and email address would be good too if there is
enough room. 

thanks,

joseph

ps: Thank you Alicia Carrillo for sending along the picture of you and
Helyn, Rich and Kitty that got this started. 

No, I don't, but if you check Steve Campos genealogy
on our group site, I believe you may find a Macias
listed.

Good luck.

Hello Jose,

Thanks for your message and for your magnificent work.  I suppose 
there are many more volunteers like you.  The work you have done
ís 
outstanding, to say the least!

So, if I understand correctly, even for those batch numbers that are 
already published on the IGI database, is it possible that you might 
have skipped one or more of those illegible entries?  How frequently 
are you faced with a situation like this?

Well, that means that even if we haven't found a particular record on 
the IGI there's still hope that we could find it in the microfilm 
itself.  And that goes also for the records in those microfilms that 
haven't been captured yet, of course.

Anyway, back to the original question.  Do you have an idea, just an 
approximation about the percentage of films that have already been 
transcribed to the IGI?

Thanks again!

Victor
