Research Helps

I know on the old microfiche they list the "Serial/Sheet Number." Maybe
if you took an area that didn't have batches this number would come
into play as well as the Film number.

Victor,

The only thing I know about [Film Number] Field is what it says in help:

"If a record contains both a batch number and a film number, then use 
only the batch number for your search. Film number searches are valid 
only when there is no batch number."

And as far as [Serial/Sheet Number] I have only ever seen it to be 
[00].  So I don't think that is any help.

Personally, I have never used either field in my searches.

P.S.  I knew you were jk ... ;-)

Angie,

Thanks.  I was just joking!
And speaking about research tips, I don't have a clear idea what's the
purpose of the fields [Serial/Sheet Number] and [Film Number] in the
IGI search page.  Have you found any use for

Who's going to the Hispanic Genealogy Symposium in DC???

I'm not sure if I would be able to go, seeing as I am a broke grad student, but perhaps Chris Pineda would be interested in going.  I have cc:'d him to this e-mail.
Thanks,

thank you Arturo. I'm in contact with Nancy Fortna of NARA and the featured speaker, George Ryskamp. So far the doors are opening for me to attend and record the audio (possibly the video as well) of at least his presentation. I look forward to meeting you and Natalie. Are you all interested in Dinner afterward?

Jeannette will you possibly be able to attend?

Research Helps/Durango 1777

is it for Durango, Durango?



can you do a sample scan and send it to me so I can put it in the files
area. . .not the whole thing just a page or two, maybe the cover page
where it has some of the leading people?

ps: did you happen to find out what other census records are kept in
Mexico City? Do you think Dr. Lyman Platt's work is comprehensive when
it comes to the Mexico City archive census records for other localities?

When I went to Seville; I was looking thru the Guad. Archives and was
looking at the Durango Census of 1777.  I was not going to be able to
be there very long so I asked for a copy [xerox]  which cost an arm,
anyway....I found out later that there was a copy in Mexico City also. 
So, I could have had a copy from the archives in Mexico.  I do have a
copy which I have shared with several people thru the years.  The 
handwriting is so beautiful.  It is a wonderful census.  I love census
records!!

Hello:



Dr Inglis came to Texas on several grants to put the Nagcodoches [?] Archives in some sort of order.  I met him in Austin and invited him to speak at a small meeting that the genealogical club had in Houston.  He was then asked to speak at several other conference/meeting, etc.  He was a professor who married a Cuenca native and lived in Seville.  It was through Doug that I was able to enter the Archives in Seville and handle some of the Guadalajara  Archives - his wife had worked there at one time and he knew some of the people.  I went in blind....he helped me go through the paper work in order to do research there....pictures/ letters of recommendation; or at least that was what we did at the time....



Dr. Inglis said he could not make a living doing historical research so he had a business in computers at the time.  He was living in Seville.  I have not spoken to him in years.  We had him as a guest at our home;;;;this was in the 1980's when our kids were in college.  It

Guadalupe(s) born in 1932

Thanks Angie,
 
I guess in addition to learning genealogy we also learn about history and religion.

Alicia,

Yes there was some signifiance in that name.  December 1931 was the
400 year anniversary to the Virgin de Guadalupe.  So I imagine all
the children in the early part of 1932 were given that name.  Funny
you should bring this up since about a week ago, I was talking with
my uncle who was born in 1931 and has the name Guadalupe. 
Anyway...someone else started talking to us and he asked my uncle
were you born in the year of the Guadalupe's.  My uncle laughed and
said he was born before.  Later when the man left, I asked my uncle
what was that all about.  He explained to me that most of the
children born in 1932 were given the name of Guadalupe in honor of
the Virgin de Guadalupe.

Hope this helps...

This sounds interesting and since it is a short walk from my house 
and only $25, I will be attending.  I can get a digital recorder and
