Genealogy of Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes
okay this is what I would prefer but not absolutely required.
1) send me a "genealogy report" in .rtf format [go to "view" then to
"genealogy report" then "contents" and then to "number of generations
to show" and limit the generations to your grandparents if they have
passed already. If they are still alive then go to your great
grandparents. keep decreasing the # of generations until you get to a
"report" that has the living excluded].
2) send it to me and I'll make up a folder for you but I need this info:
a) what name do you want each file to have. . .maybe just the Surname
or the Surname and given name of the oldest ancestor?
b) what towns do you want me to include in the description. . .give me
the names of towns included in each report
3) you have time so don't rush. . .if you need more time fine or you
can send in what you have now and later update.
4) I haven't said this to anyone before but I'd really really like for
you to chose the option where your references*** are given. Its makes
it so much nicer if people can see what record on which page in which
volume of what film the records were taken from
thanks,

*** A speech to the Ranchos group:
References. . .oh how important it will be one day to have references
in our work. If any of you all have been putting your work into a
genealogy software and not including references, well you need to
change and start including them. They are so so important. In fact one
day when we are dead and gone they will be the more important part of
our research. Without the references our work will only be written oral
history. . . ! References add credibility to our hard work.
