Added Introduction

Hello, Everyone and Fellow Martin Del Campo researchers:

I have begun reading the archival messages (2003, so far) and wanted to add
to my introduction, now that I have a better idea of the Martin Del Campo
research being done by other members. The earliest I have goes back to the
early 1800's in Jalisco. This is from my grandmother, Magdalena Martin Del
Campo, so I have yet to research this information from her to verify it.
She is now deceased. What she provided is the following: (I would be very
interested to know if any other members are related or have additional info
that dates further back than what I have. I am still trying to catch up to
what all has already been discussed and have not yet read any of the family
histories others have contributed on their Martin Del Campo ancestries.)

I hope it is okay to post this information in a message. I have not yet
verified all of this information yet, other than what I have specifically
mentioned, so I wanted to wait before I made any official contribution as a
family history file.

Thanks to Janet Iglesias for telling me about this wonderful group and
thanks to Joseph Puentes for welcoming me into the group.
