I've done several genealogy presentations--one for our local genealogy society and two for our local library. I enjoyed doing them but the best part was showing people HOW to do their own. I had a computer set up and a big screen, then I went to the Familysearch.org.

Hello All,

I just had a quick question, for everyone. How many of us, here in the Ranchos group, teach research classes or give genealogy presentations?

And I will be the first to say that, I do (In fact I teach a weekly class, and will be presenting at 2 conferences in September).

I was reviewing a 12 Feb 2006 posting regarding Santos Luna's question of the whereabouts of Rancho del Muerto. I did not read it then and apologize for this late response. I ran across what I believe is probably the same rancho referred to as simply "el Muerto" in the margin of a Tepechitlan baptismal manuscript dated 11 Aug 1776. That year Josepha Dominga Luna Miramontes was baptized. The parents were Antonio Miramontes and Victoria de Luna.

I looking for anyone with ties to Rancho Los Aros (Haros). My grandmother, Antonia De Haro, was from there and her family - De Haro - have been there since the 1700's. I have some informaiton abt the families from their but would like to find someone else researchin that area.

Hi, Everyone:

Well, I finally got it right. I updated my genealogy folder and uploaded
new files that contain descendancy charts for my Martin del Campo, Cabral,
and Robles ancestors in Jalisco. I have been making steady progress in

I have updated my genealogy file. However, I don't seem to be able to get
the new file into my file folder. I deleted the original one, then when I
tried to upload the new one, it would come out as a shortcut file, just

hi all,

I'm out of town until the 13th,

joseph
