Thomas Hillerkuss of the Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas has recently published the third volume of Diccionario Biografico del Occidente Novohispano. The first volume (A-C) is out of stock but there are still copies of the second volume (D-G) for 220 pesos and the third volume (H-I) is available for 350 pesos.

Is there a collection of immigration/immigrant stories here on the NUESTROS RANCHOS page/site? (If so, how do I go about finding them?) Stories of how an ancestor or parent migrated to the U.S.; how and when did they travel?; why did they come to the U.S.?; how long did it take?; did they come alone or in a group?; where in the U.S. did they eventually settle?

I found a source that has Lope Ruiz de Esparza lineage going back to 1230 to James First of England. Im not sure if its correct or not. It said he is descended through the Beumonts near FRance to JAmes I.

Excellent Arturo ,

A friend of mine Arq. Jose Garza Carrillo has been there several times and has bought film there , he's promised to take me along the next time he goes . I will let you all know when I do .

I made a trip to my ancestor´s town. I claim it to be very fortunated because is the result of a bunch of diggins. I did found a hidden treasure: the getting a hug from my mother´s side of long time absence. This means, my fellows group, I just met two of my mother´s siblings and a bunch of cousins.

I tried to send you Susana's e-mail address at the e-mail address below, but your computer there won't allow messages through to you because you are not listed in the "Domino Directory".

Reply to me at my hotmail address.

I will like to connect with Susana Leniski RE: Carlos de Godoy from
Zacatecas.
Any one can connect me with her?
Thank you

Joseph,

Do you have a Gregorio RObles somewhere in there circa 1670 +/- 20 years. I believe my Gregorio might have come from Tepetongo, Zac to Saltillo. He married a Maria Sanchez. I have no clue where he was from. I believe Jalisco or Sombrette are other possibilities.

Any one doing research on this family I have some information that I can
make avaialble to you.
