Hi Joseph,

I tried sending the e-mail below to the general list, but I don't see it out there. Any idea why it didn't post?

Hello fellow Nuestros Ranchos members,

If you haven't been watching the second Season of Finding Your Roots, now is the time to tune in. It airs on Tuesday nights at 8 pm Pacific Time on your local PBS Station.

I was hired to research Jessica Alba's paternal ancestry and that show will air on November 25th. Those of you who have ancestors from Jerez, Zacatecas may find that you are related to Jessica. While working on this project I discovered that Nuestros Ranchos own, Linda Castañon Long, is Jessica's cousin!

I also worked on another upcoming guest's family tree. I don't have any details as to when that show will air. It may be part of Season 3. This particular guest has roots in Guanajuato and Mexico City. I will post an update when I find out the schedule.
