History, Culture and General Discussion

I just uploaded an article from the LDS Church News that gives some
information about the Digital Conversion Project

have a look in Albums-->Digital Filming Project News

I just wanted to share a recent experience in my research with the group.

Until recently when I wanted a copy of a document, I would take the film off the viewing machine, sometimes wait to use one of the copiers and then usually get mediocre results from the printer. Some films will not print at all at my FHC because they don't have enough contrast and the printer does not like that.

A quote from Joseph's message to Natalie:

"Now Natalie, who exactly are we talking about? Can you email me
privately? I think it's time for the Cinto"

Reading about "El cinto" brought back memories of the time when I was a "Muy travieso" little boy and the harsh discipline administered by my parents.

Susanna,

here are the answers I received from the FTM list about the back slash issue
I think we need to experiment with it with the first names as well

maybe something like

\Maria Josefa\ \Sanchez de Castillo Cruz\

I don't mean to complain - but the General Digest Vol 3 Issue 15 that I received was a DISASTER. It seemed to be filled with a lot of repeitive text that I am sure is clogging up our site. I know Joseph posted some instructions not long ago on how to delete the body of a message before hitting reply to a query, etc. I don't remember what day that was posted (and I couldn't find the message to provide reference here) - but it is a message that may need repeating - and READ CAREFULLY for guidance in this matter - and if you don't understand, then ask for additional help. I am not very good with computer techy stuff, but believe me, if I can do it you can too, it isn't hard to do.

Yoland Medina Perez has submitted a very very thought provoking poem. .
.go and read it:

Secrets are something that can totally alter our genealogy.

Hi John:

It was Alicia's idea that we meet in the Bay Area or Central
California to allow other genealogists to join our meetings. We all
agreed and welcomed the opportunity to get out of the 100+ degree

I'm not there yet, but have any of you gotten to the point in your
research where the records are written in Latin? I'm not even sure that
this will be an issue in Mexico.but just in case you are back that far
