thanks Kitty for this free database. Lots of entries for Spain.

=================================================

The Castle Garden Database is now online. You can presently search New York
passenger arrivals from 1830-1892.

http://www.castlegarden.org/

The data reported is Firstname, Lastname, Occupation, Age, Sex, Arrived,
Origin, and Ship. The website says, in part:

CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of
information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis
Island opened.... From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official
immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New
York City.

CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars,
students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site
hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization
of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original
ship manifests.

don't forget. . .if you are getting way too many emails just go to
Digest rather than consider unsubscribing.

or even go to "No Email" and read the posts online.

if you need help let me know.

Why does it have to be offline? We want to know more information on your trip, too! It's interesting and very helpful to the rest of us. Purty Pleez? Marge:)

Peggy, On my July trip to Tlaltenango, I was able to obtain some oral history from my cousins paternal grandmother who just celebrated her 100th birthday.

Her family said that she has great eyesight, and memory, She appeared to be in better health than her 80 year old daughter.

 

I was curious about the various "ranchos" so, I asked the various family members. Also, I was amazed at the distance between Tlaltenango, and some of the "ranchos"...she said that they would walk over the mountains...about 2 hours. Gosh...even in my days of running and hiking, the terrain would have been quite the feat. 

 

Back to your question...about the "rancho" being listed as the birth place...apparently this is where the family lived and worked, then they went to the nearest church for the

There is a ranch just outside of Jerez
called Lo de
Luna.  Many of my ancestors came from this ranch.
I
believe my  uncles (Garcia de la Cadena branch)
purchased the
ranch from the Munoz family in the early
1700's.

Hi Helyn--

 

If you click on this link: http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm ,
it is a geographic dictionary and lists many of the ranchos and
cities in Mexico, in alphabetical order.  Click on M, and then
scroll down to the link for Muertos, which happens to be on page 152, volume
4.  There are 18 ranchos listed under Muerto, and 5 under Muertos, with
other variations

yes Dennis Daily is what I meant not Day. . .very nice person and easy
to talk to on the phone. Sometimes when you call Special Collections he
answers the phone. If anyone calls or emails him please report back on
future film sites on their agenda. thanks,

New Mexico State U. has filmed 3 archives from Mexico: three
collections in Durango--"the archives from the Durango Cathedral,
the state's notary records and a portion of the colonial materials
from the state historical archives." The Sombrerete will be the 4th
one.

NMSU worked with the town council to gain permission to film those
documents from Sombrerete. The person in charge at NMSU is
Dennis Daily. Perhaps you can contact him and inquire about future
projects.
