We have been told for some time that the Pilot Site would be going away eventually.

I recently report an error with the title of a Guanajuato digitized film, and received a very nice reply:

If you've already had this conversation, would someone kindly point me in its the direction on the website?

The former "Pilot Search" site has been a blessing untold to my research.

Yes, that was my understanding, I.e,, "temporary". As with anything else "baby steps" come first before walking".

Hola a todos!!!!!

My Spanish is limited and I have found something curious. Mateo Alviso and his son Calixto Alviso had back to back dispensas done and I need help with the translation.

I am researching my maternal 5th Great Parents Joseph Martin de Peña and Maria Rufina Ximenes. They were married 08 Nov 1761 in Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, Teocaltiche, Jalisco, MX.

Hola compañeros, hace días leí que alguien quería saber quienes eran los padres de Sebastián de Luna y Josefa Lozano.

I looked and looked for something about the history of Villa de San Diego de Leon, in Guanajuato, where Juan Villalpando was born, and I finally found an article about it.

Does anyone know what the term "Caste" means on a marriage document? The one I have is as follows...

"Jose Roberto Hernandez, Soldado Patrista del Resguardo de este Pueblo, de calidad Casta"

Thank you all so much for the imput on the Villa de Leon vs. the Villa de Conil. I found the doucment!! however im unusre if the page is torn or its folded...help anyone with deciphering.

My father who is 76 yrs old (GGparents from Chihuahua) and my uncle is is 93 yrs old (GGparents from Sonora) and my father in Law 70 yrs old (Teocaltiche, Jalisco) have agreed to do DNA testing.

My great grandmother was Loreto Bais. Born in Mexico somewhere around 1868, she eventually settled down with a Tereso Sifuentes (born around 1865) somewhere in Zacatecas.

Not sure if this has been posted yet...but it has helped me a great deal. Enjoy!!

If link doesn't work, go to "Files" tab; Reference material, under "mtDNA Haplogroup Database - NR Members - UPDATED FILE"

I think there is a lot of confusion here about DNA, how it's tested, and how to interpret our results. I hope that the below will clear up some confusions...

Civil records for these two states have just been posted on Family Search.

Estimado compañeros,

Many thanks to the responses from George, Patty, & Alicia.

George, thank you for your excellent advice about
trying the County clerk's office regarding birth
