Did you get a chance to read my message about not having the usernames and passwords for DreamHost or the FTP login anymore because my drive crashed?

I remember that the username for FTP is lafamilia...

Are the films that are listed under the "film," tab, without a batch number, does that denote that a batch is not available for that given film?

For Ernie Alderete,

An old post of yours about Petronila MOCTEZUMA mentioned Anna VALADES Masias who married Jose Manuel ROMO DE VIVAR.
Could she be Anna MASIAS Valades, born btw 1710-1720 probably in Aguascalientes? I've come across this MASIAS-Valades or Balades combination occasionally in the records, sometimes as MASIAS-Valdez.

Hi Prima,
The insurgentes were the Cristeros who were fighting for the
Church against the Government.

For Stuart and others interested in the origens of the pueblos of Aguascalientes, I've just posted two pages in Reference materials on the foundation of the pueblos of Aguascalientes. Included are San Jose de Gracia and Rincon de Romos.

Another question I have is during the religious wars in Mexico during the 1920 through 1927, they referred to some of the people fighting as insurgentes. Who were the insurgentes? Where they the people fighting for Catholicism or were they the people that were for the government?

I wanted to wish all the Fathers in the the group a Happy Fathers Day.. What a wonderful gift you're giving your children and future generations of your line by working so hard to give them a history and foundation to build on.. I'm sure the ancestors are proud, happy and humbled to be remembered.

Linda,

My brother had the FamilyTree Y-DNA test done. His results are posted to
Gary Felix DNA Surname project. He tested R1b. If you want more details,

Stuart,

I found some Platt books at: www.familyhistoryland.com/books.htm . I don't know if they still have them. If you can't find them, I could copy some sections out of my book (if you read Spanish) and mail them to you. My copy of the book is stamped on the back "Hispanic American Genealogical Association, PO Box 2650, Salt Lake City, UT 84110-2650", but I couldn't find that Association listed in the yellow pages.

Stuart,

I am in the same boat you are. My husband's ancestors were from the exact same places you mentioned. The place where they were baptized, married, etc is not the same place where they were born or buried. You have to look for the phrase "originario de" for the name of the place they were born. For example, I was looking in the records of the La Encarnacion (Jalisco) church for baptisms and marriages thinking my husband's ancestors were born in the town of Encarnacion de Diaz where the church is located, then I realized that the records kept stating they were "originario de Santa Maria" which must have been a large hacienda village nearby. It seems they had big cathedrals in some towns (pueblos, villas?) where people living in the surrounding haciendas would come to be baptized, etc.
