FW: Update Hispanic Heritage Project

Please contact Carlos Yturralde (cmyturralde@gmail.com) for more information:

We have now imaged one-third of the Fondo Colonial collection of the Hidalgo del Parral Municipal Historical Archive. We have partnered with RootsPoint and they will host the images online hopefully in two weeks. We will send out a press release when they become available. Then we will be looking for volunteers to index the collection.

Thanks to a donation for Chantal Cramaussel we have some copies of her book “Poblar la frontera: La provincial de Santa Barbara en Nueva Vizcaya durante los siglos XVI y XXVII,” available for sale. They are $48 each, which includes shipping within the continental United States. If you have ancestors that were early settlers of Nueva Vizcaya this is a book that you should have in your personal library or it can be a nice gift to children or grandchildren who know Spanish.

Just let us know if you would like a copy of the book and we will reserve it until we receive your check and mailing instructions. Should it be a gift we will include a card with a message from you. Thank you again for your support.
