History, Culture and General Discussion

I have been doing research on my fathers family (Asebes) since June 03. Now I have run into a brickwall with Ricardo de Asebes and his wife Ana Maria de Hortis. They are my 4th great grandparents. I cannot find any information about them in the Familysearch program. I have copies of their son, Dionicio/Leonicio (my 3rd great grandfather) and their daughter Maria Quirina, marriages, where it states that they were married (each 2 times) in Nochistlan, Zac. His marriages were in 1799 and 1804, and hers in 1803 and 1820. It also says that he was "originario del Puerto del Arroyo Hondo". We cannot read where she was from. My husband is from Tonala, Jal. and helps me translate. On those records are the names of Ana and Ricardo only, no grandparents. Also I cannot find any birth/baptismal records for Dionicio or Quirina. I would appreaciate any help.

My grandmother "CAMILA ESTRADA" was born around 1894 en EL PAPELOTE JALISCO. She resided in Canadas de Martinez with my grandfather CELSO VAZQUEZ he was 25 years her senior. My great-grandmother and grandfather LUCIO AND LUCINA ESTRADA I am assuming were from EL PAPELOTE. I don't have any information regarding my grandmothers and don't know if EL PAPELOTE would belong to San Julian or San Juan de Los Lagos Jalisco. I don't have any other information regarding my grandmother other than she passed on around 1937, I would like to know more about the rancheria and where these people orginated from. My dad was orphaned very young and does not remember very much about his parents. Any information would be very much appreciated.

for those of you thinking of using your digital cameras at family
history centers instead of their copying equipment here is a short
course on that subject. I would recommend making the transition to

Good morning:
Anyone here originally, formerly, or presently from San Antonio, TX? I am currently reading a (library) book, "HIDDEN KITCHENS", by Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson, based on their NPR series 'Hidden Kitchens'. Story #3 (chapter 3) is "The Chili Queens of San Antonio". A very interesting insight into the chili stands that used to be found at various plazas, and existed for about 100 years (until the health department stepped in in the early 1930's). In addition to the historical background, there are a couple of recipes, and an essay on Lydia Mendoza, "La Alondra de la Frontera" and an essay on West Commerce Mercado. I know this isn't within the realm of Ranchos genealogy, but thought it was an interesting presentation of past history.

Is there anyone in the group well versed in graphic design and web
design... CSS in particular?

We're in need of a good volunteer for some projects Arturo is working on.

thanks,
