Alberto---un Favor/My Tio en Jerez

Alberto,

I've been very negligent in looking in your folder. Or possibly you
entered some things there and didn't sent out a notice to the group. no
matter. What i need is a favor from you. I see you are using Family Tree
Maker is that correct? Well I need for you to make up two "Genealogy
Reports" one for Fernando Durante and one for Francisco Prieto that
would be the same report for your trees. These trees are very difficult
for me to follow and I think the "Genealogy Report" would better
represent your family in "addition" to your "Tree chart". can you do
this for me? After sending me those files and any other representative
files you'd like to submit I will remove your .FTW file because thos
that don't have Family Tree Maker won't be able to access it. I want all
the files to be available to all persons regardless of their software.
That is almost impossible to do but most folks do have Word on their
computers and that in my opinion is the closest I can get.


let me

My Tio en Jerez

Alberto,



I would like to invite you to the Roman Diaz reunion in Long Beach on
Aug 6th and 7th. My Tio Alberto is suppose to be there. Is this
something you'd be interested in?



I can also ask my cousin who is not in the group if she knows any
Durantes who might have married her Roman relatives.

Very true. 

I'm planning to go to Jerez before July 2006. Sorry to
say, but many of my uncles and aunts are passing away

this is a wonderful map but I was disappointed because some places out
in the sticks (like Rougemont) only show up as topographical maps.


but otherwise it really is like you said a wonderful resource. .
.everyone needs to have it on their computer if it's capable.

Most of us don't have enough money to go visit our ancestor's

any place on the globe. This morning I visited: Guadalajara,
Aguascalients, Zacatecas, Mexico City, Can Cun and finally got back
to my own hometown and neighborhood. I could even go visit Joseph if
I knew his address...

well, speaking spanish is a must. I didn't say speaking fluently but
near fluency is a must.



=============================



I just tell whoever answers that My name is Joseph Puentes and that I'm
calling all the Puente and Puentes' in the phone book to see if maybe
we are distantly related. I go on to say I'm a genealogist and have
traced the family back to 1730. Tracing my family history gives me
great enjoyment and I would be glad to share that information if i can
make a connection between our families. I tell them I think we're
related because most of the Puentes from [that area] are related one
way or another.



if the person answering is young then I ask if maybe their parents or
grandparents are available to speak with. I also make sure to ask if
anyone in the family is interested in remembering the history of the
family, remember the names, or are intereste in making the genealogy
tree.



I go on to tell them my parents and grandparents names and make them
understand that
