El Rancho del Durazno in 2005 has abt 150 homes and 350 people, I 
would have to call it a village...Maybe when it started Rancho was 
appropriate but now it's just tradition..  I would think that in 1575  
it was a working rancho...

Thanks to everyone who entered their information.  I think it will
become very benificial to all of us.

What I think is good about the database is that when you open it up,
you are given that

its a list of contact information for the various churches in Zacatecas.
More of the central churches in the various areas. Look at the message
from Alicia for more info related to this. Hmmm, I didn't explain that
very well. . .would anyone care to fill in or correct my fumbling effort?

Hello Joseph:

I was wondering if you have a copy of the Momax, Zacatecas or Los Velas Momax, Zacatecas areas of the mexican phone book?  If so, is there any 'Campos' or 'Alvarez' names you could send me?  I haven't made much progress with any new information for my mexican families.  Especially Alvarez!  I am beginning to think my father's father was a 'myth'!!  I went to the obispadozacatecas.org.mx/M7.htm site, but I don't understand what it is.  Can you educate me?

Regards,
Carol Lester

Hello group,

I've finally posted all my data on Ancestry.com.  Most of the work is 
from the District of Jerez Zacatecas.  If you are looking for any 
family from there please check my file online and go to index and it 
will give you all the names listed in my data.  I hope I have 
something that's of use to others in the group. I'm just now really 
getting into the records from Atoyac, Zapotlan El Grande/Ciudad 
Guzman, Zapotiltic and Tamazula de Gordiano Jalisco.  If you put 
Castanon, Zacatecas Mexico it will give you my file, go from there!
Linda

Whose file is this?

I would really like to keep genealogies off of the public archives.
Remember the messages are open to the public and the genealogies are
restricted to members only.
Please don't send genealogies to the group via an email. If you want
your genealogies put into your file you need to send it to me and I'll
add it to your file. If you are new to the group I'll make up a folder
for you in "YahooBriefcase" and add a link to your work in the links
area under "AAAA-Genealogies"

let me know if you have any questions,

joseph
