I have posted in the links section a new link to Lynn Turner's Hispanic Genealogy blog. The collection of information is very good and includes a link to the Mexico 1930 Census online.

Hello Corrine,
Last night I went to my local FHC to view a microfilm that I had
requested, but got sidetracked when the volunteer asked if I had any
questions. The thought prompted by Tomas's earlier email regarding

The Films database is now working correctly again, such that when you click on an IGI or VRI button, the site brings up the entire contents of that film/batch from which you can then refine further by clicking on the "Refine Search" link on the upper right of the screen.

Hello, I have come to the attention that this is something i need to ask for questioning. As my family knows that in our entire pedigree is really intermarriage my parents, grandparents, grt grandparents, etc... I was wondering why would people marry inside family? I was always confused. I do find it very fascinating though when doing genealogy especially when doing genealogy. because its really fun playing around with the intermarriage. I think of it as a giant puzzle and trying to put it together. Although I did find it confusing at first but then learned alot. I was just wondering why was this a custom or practice? My family still does this. I did also hear someone said if you practice Incestry then the child will become deformed or something like that. But we all have came out perfectly fine. My grandfather said something in the early colonial Mexico they Espanoles would marry inside the family to keep something he called quote "La puresa de sangre" although i do not know what that really means at this moment. He said that they didnt like to mix with Indians or Mulatos. Which is prob a little racist. I hope I can get a response. Thanks for all your help in the past. Thanks to this group I have already made connections with over half tof the group so far. Through the Lopez de Elizalde, Ruiz de Esparza, Trevino, de la Garza, Mendoza, and all the other lines etc.

Hello everyone,

Has anyone looked up military records through the Family History catalog and ordered them to their local center? I'd like to look up military records for Zacatecas, for 1865-1885, as my grandfather thinks his grandfather served in Zacatecas. I'd also like to do this through my local family center...can anyone help?

Tomas Alejandro Villegas Gomez (Vigotal) pide ayuda para investigar sobre familiares que se fueron a Estados Unidos hace unos cien anos y solamente presenta los nombres de 3 personas.

Esta clase de peticion no me parece que entra dentro de los propositos de temas genealogicos de este foro y el no provee informacion acerca de estas personas que pueda ser de ayuda a un investigador (tal como fechas y lugares de sus nacimientos, lugar de procedimiento en Mexico, nombre de los padres, etc.) y bajo esas condiciones tales busquedas globales a traves de una nacion jigante como USA son dificeles/imposibles.

I hope I have done this correctly.This is to Leticia Reynoso ,Where do your Reynoso Lines originate from ? Are your Reynoso ancestors Francisco married to Josepha Renteria (jalisco)or Diego Reynoso married to Margarita Renteria and wed in zacatecas.
