Tlaltenango, Zac.....Anyone???

Published by Nuestros Ranchos –

Historical Archives


This past summer, I went to Tlaltenango, and was able to connect with kin, whom I was not aware of. I was surprised at the individuals that were interested in knowing about my research.

 

One in particular shared what he had researched however, when I returned home I discovered that I have a stack of papers, about two inches thick on his direct line.

 

I have sent letters, none of which have been received. I would like to send the "Family Group Records", but if the letters have not arrived, then perhaps these records would be lost to the equivalent of cyber space. Anyone on the group planning a trip to Zacatecas in the near future.

Thanks, Helyn

HOMEPAGE

 

A new homepage is
scheduled to be launched on
the FamilySearch.org Web site sometime Wednesday, September 7.

[[[[[[[maybe they are

is intended to make the most popular features and resources more easily
available to site visitors – particularly new visitors. This is the
first step
in an ongoing effort to make the web site much more helpful for all
visitors.

 

Although the homepage and
the navigation colors are new, all
of the other pages are the same. None of the current features or
resources are
being changed at this time.

How to Use http://NuestrosRanchos.net

Well, I had left-clicked on the blue url and all I got was that message
about it being added to the download list, so I will next try the more
complicated way of right clicking on the url and saving it to my computer. I
don't know where I will save it to, but I will give it a try.  I had messed
up my old computer so much that they had to reinstall drivers etc.  I am
dangerous around these things.  I ought to get a job as quality control
person to test the user-friendliness of computers, because if anyone can break
them, I sure can.
 
Thanks,

1876 Map of Jalisco

This map also shows the western part of Michoacan - I find it very
interesting that the small town of Guadalupe (also known as El Valle de
Guadalupe) was indicated in this map - some maps today don't include this small
town, where my husband's family is from.

any better than the old one.
