Mexico Travel

Hi, Mary,
 
One thing I do for my elderly relatives in their nineties, is that I give
them enlarged copies of pictures so they can see details better.  I blow
them up on my scanner to 8x10's and they think they have been given something so
special.

Thank you, Natalie: I have gone to the section you
recommend and am trying to prepare myself for a good interview. One of the
persons I will visit is in her 90s so I will try to do it right the first
time.

Hi
Mary!      Your message above

I love death records. . .hmmm, that didn't sound right.



I've found great wealth in them, but have to agree that the information
can sometimes be very slim in them. I find that if the person was
married it will many times only give the spouses name but if the person
died as a child then the parents. But in those uncommon but wonderful
cases it gives the spouse and the parents. and the age and the location
and that they were previously married (but not who to). And the cause
of death.



I've found a few that gave all the details and agonized over the ones
that I so much wanted the details but all it gave was the name of the
person and spouses name and cause of death.



my Grandfather had 11 siblings according to the birth records, but all
anyone ever knew about was 5. I haven't found all the death records but
this would be an area where these type of mysteries can be cleared up,
like Alicia said in her example.



I remember the first time I found my GGG grandmother, Eduarda Torres'

Haplogroup A ancestor

Josie & Linda,

We share the same haplogroup A.  Although we're not an exact match we
do match on some numbers.  Since we're dealing here with mitochondrial
DNA, in contrast to Y chromosome DNA, it means that our female common
ancestor lived thousands of years ago, in prehistorical times.

Mitochondrial DNA is best suited to determine what is called "Deep
Ancestry" of our maternal lineage.  We definitely share the same
Native American roots in the distant past.

Warm Regards,

Victor

I've found two relatives through entierros--one said what he died of and gave his age as over 100 but he really was 86 or something similar...I know because I found his birth record before I found his entierro. In a second entierro record that was included in some nacimientos, I found my great-grandfather's first wife--Ma. Eleuteria Tovar de Gonzalez, who died in childbirth, giving birth to her third child. But can I find this record again? Noooooooo. This is frustrating.:( Marge:)

It's good film to view for historical purposes. I gleaned from some of these films that there was an epidemic in a certain area of typhoid fever or that a high incidence of infants were dying of infeccion del ombligo/infection of the umbilical cord which could lead one to believe that they had little or no medical care at child birth. There were many women who died de "nacimiento prematuro'' which didn't make sense to me that it should be put in these terms. Premature labor is not necessarily cause for the

Are you sure. . .maybe my use of the phrase ILL is wrong. I thought
that if there was an area that didn't have a close by FHC that they
would let the films go to a local library. Its not exactly an ILL but
kind of. I thought that since that library that Victor attends has such
user unfriendly hours that the FHL might consider allowing this. I
really don't know. I might be absolutely wrong about this.

As far I as I

that do have film access.  But I do not know which ones they are.

no .gedcoms or living relatives


I'm going to be changing a rule. I will no longer be accepting
genealogies that include living relatives. This is for privacy sake. In
the early going I was lax on this point so there might be a few in the
files that include living relatives. I would strongly suggest that those
files be modified to remove those individuals.


also I've not accepted or will accept .gedcoms. . .I prefer a genealogy
report or if you must a chart.


thanks,

Hello.  Since I have only looked at one set of
microfilms for death records, my experience is limited.  What I noticed
about these records from Jalostotitlan, Jal. is that the following is
included:
 

Place or where death ocurred ,   Place or location of Burial--in other words, which
cemetery? ;

 

name of person, age ,  Date
of death and burial,
   
Fecha de
defuncion/entierro,

 

Parents, widow or
widower of the deseased, Cause of death, and whether they received the last
Christian rites or not.

Can someone who has looked at films of parrish books listing
burials
tell me how extensive the information listed in these books
is?  Does
it list parents, survivors of the deceased?  I have two

why not talk to Salt
Lake and pettition them to allow your
films to be ILL
to you local library. All they can do is say no. I've understood that in some
cases they will do that, but maybe that's only when there are absolutely not
FHC anywhere close. This might not apply in your case.



Jonathan do you know about this?

2. In 1787 Antonio Alcedo published his Diccionario
Geographico-Histórico de las Indias Occidentales o America. This work
details a variety of information on population centers throughout North
and South America. For the town of Papantla, Veracruz, Alcedo recorded
15 families of Spaniards, 535 families of "indios Mexicanos," and 200
pardos, divided into two companies of militia.1 Two centuries later
Peter Gerhard offered population figures for the same period in what has
become the standard historical geography for colonial New Spain.
Gerhard's numbers for Papantla were considerably higher than Alcedo's:
