Erlinda,

My impression is that Villa de León in your records refers to what is
now the city of León, Guanajuato.  

http://www.leongto.com.mx/secciones/historia/historia_colonial.htm

You can locate it in the neighboring state of Jalisco, right across
the border from Lagos de Moreno.

Glad you did not talk to some of my relatives prior to our meeting.

Fearless leader....you, and Figen are absolutely...
wonderful... delightful....awesome...

Our encounter was as if we were long lost relatives... having a reunion.

Thank you, and Figen for taking the time from your busy schedule to
meet with us.

Your "wanta be cousin" ....Helyn

I'm doing records from Zapotlan El Grande Jalisco and am finding 
families from Villa de Leon Mexico.. any idea where that is?  I 
checked the wonderful location dictionary but found nothing. The time 
period is early to mid 1700's.  The families are Losa y Linares, 
Sanches de la Mejorada and Lopes de Lara and Alcaraz.

any help appreciated

Hello Jonathan,

Could you please elaborate a little on your question.  Are you
currently developing research tools on your own or do you mean tools
at familysearch, etc.?

I HAVE THE PAF VERSION 4.0.4

                  SO LONG

How about lists of archives in the US that have materials on our target
area.

for example I know UC Berkeley has an extensive amount of information
Duke has many books but I wouldn't call it extensive
I would guess there are other store houses of info

also how about some kind of resources about the major archives in
Mexico. I know there is great resources in Guadalajara but if I was
going there tomorrow I wouldn't know where to look and what type of
materials to look for. I also know that there is great resources in
Mexico City that are probably duplicates of information that is in
certain archives in Spain. Doesn't the Mexico City archive(s) have
certain parts of the Archivo de Indias. I'd love to know what needs to
be ordered from Spain and what could be accessed in Mexico City.

Well I'm just rambling. . .maybe others have more doable ideas,

thanks for asking the question,

joseph

Hello Everyone,



I wanted ask, the Ranchos, Juarez, and Mexicanfhr

cual programa tienes? el PAF o el Family Tree Maker o Word?

ponlo en Family Tree Maker si lo tienes y haga un "Genealogy Report"
mandamelo en el "format" de .doc o de .rtf

si no lo tienes mandamelo en un documento de "Word."

has mirado los arboles de los miembros en los "Files?" si no miralos
para que miras unos emjemplos de los arboles de otros en el grupo.

gracias,

joseph
