History, Culture and General Discussion

Hello,
My name is Lisa Gonzalez, I live in Antioch California. I am researching my mother's side of the family; the Lopez and the Martinez families from Rancho Lo de Carrera, Tenayuca, Zacatecas. Most legal filings were made in Apulco, the nearest "big town."

Asi comenzamos todos. Al principio leia y leia pero no hallaba yo por donde
empezar. Hasta que fui al Centro de Historia Familiar y ahi me ayudo una
voluntaria. Este grupo de Nuestros Ranchos es un buen recurso ya que todos

Marty,

What type of research have you done? Have you accessed the www.familysearch.org website or is your research mostly oral history from family members?

The key is to provide as much information as you have to the group and in that way you will receive the greatest response.

Hi everyone,
I am new here so bear with me if I ask to many questions... I joined the group about 2 weeks ago and put out 4 surnames that I am researching... and I want to thank those that answered me... I am reading the information that you are sending among yourself's and getting a general idea how the group works...

Hi there Linda ,

Yes, it is a super great feeling to see some movement and then to finally have it is really something !
I have a friend that is also working on her Banuelos side of her family , she's trying to get into the group here but is having a little difficulty with her password , Joseph is working with her to get her on board , her name is Cristy . She has info on this side of the world , this side bieng Monterrey , Mexico . I'll let her know about you and maybe the two of you can also make an connection from the two sides .

Hi Helyn ,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me yes, it's a very good feeling when you get to connect the dots and little by little you start to see the design of it all . I started this search of mine roughly 25 yrs ago and within the last several months I've found several family members . I'm currently living in Monterrey , Mexico . I came here 5 yrs ago to spend one year doing research on the family line . I got a little side tracked and started a telecommunications business here and long story short two years later I still hadn't done any family searching . When I sold my shares of the biz I was heading home ( home being Marina de Rey , Ca. ) I was invited to start an organic fertilizer company and well , here I still am however I did start the search and like I said in the last several months I've done ok here with past family members but I never knew about the members that came from Zacatecas until recently .

Thanks Smiley,

Now that you sent this I think we have driven this route once before, many many years ago and it was very narrow and very precarious due to the steep cliffs and dropoffs and very, very scary. That was long before I got into genealogy and paid attention to names of towns and their locations relative to our hometown of Nochistlan, Zac.

Soy Celestino A Villalobos, un miembro nuevo de "Nuestros Ranchos" Tal vez la desicion de Joseph Puente, de cortar la membresia de todos aquellos que no han presentado alugunas lineas de sus genealogias en "Nuestros Ranchos", es muy drastica, tal vez sea la persona menos indicada para hablar sobre el tema, lo que si se es que todo tiene una razon de ser. Como nuevo miembro he revisado casi toda la lista de miembros con sus archivos genealogicos y en verdad me han impresionado, como algunos de sus miembros han echo un gigantescos esfuerzos al trazar sus lineas de sus antepasados, y uno de ellos naturalmente es el mismo Joseph Puentes, y otros que sobresalen en sus investigaciones tambien, lo que representa largas horas de dedicacion durante dias, semans,meses y años un esfuerzo constante y conciente. Movidos por sentimientos y fuerzas mas haya de nuestra comprension. La mayoria de la informacion en los archivos de "Nuestros Ranchos" en lo personal a mi no me ayuda en nada,
