This weekend I was reading a reprint of the Conquest of California and New Mexico, by
James Madison Cutts nephew of Dolly Madison.
He has a page on the Mixed races of Mexico that I thought was very interesing and decided to share.

In the Famly History Library Catalog, they have the 1930 Mexican census for
Guadalajara in several films numbered 1507525 thru 1507545. Each listing
reads: Censo 1930 (Leg.--) etc. Can anyone tell me what the Leg. stands

Hi,

I apologize for posting my last message on "Jewish History" in Jalisco in
the research forum. I guess I should have posted it in this forum.

My gg-grandfather Ismael Martin del Campo and his siblings were born in
Lagos de Moreno. I found a website that was in Spanish about Lagos, but the
English translation made it read pretty funny. From what I could make out,

Last night my husband and I were on youtube and we did a search for Nochistlan. I discovered there were lots of videos about Nochis. One video was called "Recorriedo Nochistlan" and someone actually drove around Nochis with a video camera in their hand driving up and down streets that were very familiar to me. In another video there were people running around with white powder on their faces (harina and pinole) which of course some of you may know is a very old tradicion called el "Papaqui del Guerito San Sebastian." There are videos which depict other traditions like the "La Coleadera" in Las Animas which is an event I have attended many times, and the Sunday night serenatas in the jardin in Nochistlan.

Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I posted a message on the group. It's been extremely busy. Anyways, I'm just writing to announce (y presumir) that I just added a new generation to my family tree. My daughter Natalie Itzel Apodaca was born on October 11, 2007 in Winston-Salem, NC. She weighed 7 lbs and 1.6 ounces, and measured 20 inches. My wife and I are so happy! Well, I just thought about writing it in this forum, even though there are lots of new members since the last time I posted a message and most haven't read me before.

I would like information on Petronia Moctezuma. She is my direct line ancestor. I have very little information on her. I am just starting my search to learn more on her and her family.

The past week has been one huge nightmare... I changed ISP last Friday Oct 12nd, and have not been able to access the Internet since that day... after hours/days on the phone with tech support, the bottom line is my 6 y/o computer has been put to rest, and I'm now typing on my new one...
