     If you can get it in your area, try to watch a novela called  'Alborada".  It's a historical 
novel about Mexico during the early 1800s.  It'll give you a good idea of Mexico during that 
time. There are other historical novelas about Mexico you can either get on tape or CD. 
 
Elvira,

I am interested in your historical novel and other historical CDs. What source do you use to 
purchase these items? I could not find "Alborada" on Amazon or Libros Latinos.

Thanks,

Ed

I'd be interested in listening to some of these as well. I just checked
Alborada on Blockbuster and couldn't find it, what are the names of
other historical CD's  I can try. thanks for the tip. . .i hope I can
find it.



or would anyone care to record a couple of the shows and send them to
me?



if so let me know,

Cool, since the subject is moving toward Soap I have a question. I make
soap, you know a little lye, a little h20 a lot of lard/fat/oil



well anyway my Tia Julia told me that Abuelita Virginia Diaz (dob: 1886
Close to Santa Maria de Los Angeles, Jalisco) used to also make soap
but she didn't know her recipe. Being that my grandmothers mom came
from the Tepetongo area but lived many years in Jalisco I'm kind of
"assuming" that is where the soap making ability/teaching came from.



So do any of you know if your grandparents or g-grandparents made soap?
If so do you all have one of their recipes? Do you recall where they
got their Lye or did they make it?



thanks,



joseph



ps: . . .soap opera. . .la opera de javon.

As Joseph, mentioned in this email,  I am in the process, of updating
my Mexican Family History Resoucre disk.  There were several problems, 
with the prior version, such as links not working and a few other
things.  These are being corrected, also  I am removing lots, of the
material, that was written by others, and replacing it, with material
that I have written myself.  The reason, that I am doing this, is
because, I am in the procress, of trying to get the disc, approved for
use in the FHL in Salt Lake.

For those, who would like a copy of the new version.  It will be
available, in about a week.  The cost is $10.00, that is to cover,
cost of producing the disc and shipping.

Also, Those of you who have received, the prior version.  Could you
please send a email, to the group saying what you have thought about
the disc.

the disc is packed with information. lots of things available and those
scans of the fiche (Vital records that have the batch
