Are you going to add these films to our films list so other members

appreciated by those of us who don't have a Family History Center

I've found a new (for me) job or job discription which my translator does not give an explanation for. The word is "ganan" and it is the occupation of many from Jerez during 1886, I have not seen this word in earlier job discriptions. Is anyone familiar with this word or it's translation from Spanish to English?

I just received a message from the manager of Indexing Operations of FamilySearchIndexing in Salt Lake City and he has informed me that they have Mexico projects on their docket for the online indexing project they have started.

would like to prevent getting more.

My great-grandfather is from Arandas, Jalisco.

His maternal grandmother Ana Maria Zabala Alfaro, born ~1780. Her siblings were all born in Arandas or Ayo el Chico. Her parents were Jose Rafael Zabala Rivas and Maria Victoria Francisca Alfaro Sanchez, married in 1770 in Ayo el Chico. Rafael's parents were Martin Zabala and Maria Gertrudis Rivas. His siblings also appear to have been born in Ayo el Chico.

Thanks Juanita and Felix for the information on Chavez and Arechiga. I live
in So. Ca. You came here for eye surgery. Is it lasix and are you going to
get it with Dr. Maloney? Good luck with your eye surgery Juanita.

Does anyone have any of his genealogy of his ancestors? I just know his dad was also Lope. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
