Joseph: You mentioned in one of your previous e-mail that you could take pictures with a digital camera of records. A year ago, during a trip to the library in SLC a French group were taking pictures in the same way. They had a big digital camera, and a tripod. I was very interesting about your remark because of course the potential savings, but more important, many times the images are better in the reader that in the photocopy machine (I guess is the lighting). I don't know anything about digital photography. What is the quality of the images?, What type of camera you should have? What features your camera should have? Any tips? Do you need the tripod?. Thanks tu prima Susana |

Emilie,
sorry for the mix-up, they came over legally
in 1916. It's just that had they came over in this age of racism, they'd be look down upon-and every brown face I see now I see someones grandparents, parents, brother or sister. Also, please read Mr. Reveles' books.
They aren't novels but vignettes, short stories that are very entertaining. thanks for your input!!!

Historical facts from records
Forums
Hello Erlinda, uses in human behavior derive from need;. families would be clans in the early days of settlements. Padrinos had to be members of the clan, temples woud be maybe days on foot or horse riding, so preventing the death or a new born every catolic cristian have the virtue to act as a baptism provider, afterwards the priest would aknowledge and confirm that baptism. and yes there were slaves, clans with slaves. My ancestors were clans, and intermarried relatives on and on, so nowadays many carry on the same surnames. Just a reality based thought. Leticia Leon

I'm working on baptism and marriage records for my Gutierrez and Alvares del Castillo families who lived in Tamazula Jalisco from 1760's to my grandmothers departer to the states in 1923. I found them in Chilchota Michoacan before that going back to about 1620 or so including the maternal lines Morfin, Valencia and Lievana. In this town I've found 3 different lines of Gutierrez. Gutierrez de Raya, Gutierrez de Robles and just plain Gutierrez, my line with intermarriages with the other two Gutierrez families. My line of Gutierrez are Mestiso with the other two being Espanol. I'm finding in the records facts that I hadn't seen before and was wondering if others have encountered them in other states too. I'm find exclavos Espanoles, that was something I had not encountered before. How would a Spaniard end up a slave? Another finding is how many babies were baptised at home by a regular person when they were afraid the baby was going to die or in danger and then later

Peggy,
I am glad to see good reviews of Daniel's books. I've known about
them since his nephew told me about them, but I usually don't read novels, so I haven't bought any of them. I think I will now. Daniel's father Nicolas was from Jerez, Zacatecas where my father was born
also. They came over legally around the time that the US threw open its doors to refugees from the Mexican revolution (1915). I have done some work on those lines, since I encountered one of Daniel's brothers on the Jerezano.com website several years ago and we compared notes. We may be related collaterally; the places and names seem to match. Nicolas Reveles was a painter (pintor) in Jerez, and he later, along with his son Antonio, designed sets at MGM in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. It is sad that those open doors slammed shut, and I was surprised to hear
that your grandparents had to cross over illegally. My father crossed over at the El Paso, TX border crossing where Daniel's father |

Hi, Victor,
Thanks for sending that article about Fugitive Slaves in Mexico. I
for one was not aware that many slaves prior to the end of the Civil War sought refuge in Mexico, and that Mexico for the most part refused to extradite them. Since my father, who was from Jerez, was so bigoted against blacks and asians, I am surprised that American black slaves were protected by Mexico. That sympathy may have come from their stuggles with Spain over the abuses suffered by the landless Indians and Mestizos, and they viewed Anglos with the disdain they viewed the Spaniards. Maybe it was also just to get back at Americans for the previous invasion of Mexico. Speaking of my father, my recent diggings further back into his lines who
lived around Tepetongo, Zacatecas and its environs such as Marecito, Salitrillo, Salitral, Estancia, turned up records that show that two of his lines (Suriano and Quijas) on his paternal side were mulatos or mulatos libres. Wouldn't he have |

face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> Through my husband, I have a 60 year-old aunt, who has been trying to get a visa just to visit her daughter. The daughter had to prove her financial status as part of the visa process - and still she was denied entrance - twice! I guess they think that she will be coming over to work or collect freebees of some sort.... Esperanza

--- In ranchos@yahoogroups.com, Jessica Castanedawrote: > > I work with migrant workers in my job. I am appalled sometimes at the > amount of difficulties and prejudices they face. It is virtually > impossible for those that are illegal to become "legal". Jessica, I agree that there are major problems with immigration laws and standards in the USA, and that these issues need to be addressed. I do not wish to minimize that at all but simply to observe it is difficult to get into many, if not most, industrialized countries of the world. If you are an American, you will find it difficult to get into Australia, New Zealand (nearly impossible), and some countries in Europe on a permanent basis. My English, Asian, Indonesian, Turkish, and Australian friends tell me horror stories about trying to obtain appropriate papers to "work" here in USA on more than a temporary basis. Everybody wants to work in a country where if you work hard enough you will be rewarded. The kind
