My Introduction

["canprin <canprin@...>" <canprin@...>]

Dear Joseph and Other Members,
     I appreciate the opportunity to join with you in sharing 
information.  I work at an elementary school, am active in church, 
serve as a board member of Somos Primos, and Family History is my 
passion.  I have researched my husband's Mexican family for numerous 
years and have just really gotten in to my own Canadian roots in the 
last couple of years.
     My husband was born in the rancho of Santa Rita, in Ayo el Chico 
area, in 1950.  His family still has land there and our most recent 
visit was last March 2002.  It was then that I had the opportunity to 
meet Hugo Moises in Capilla de Guadalupe.  Previously, we had met on 
the Internet.  He is distantly related to my husband.  I also know 
Steven Hernandez, from meetings with our SHHAR (Society of Hispanic, 
Historical,and Ancestral Research) group.  He too is distantly 
related to my husband Ramon Godinez.
     I have many names in my files but I am best with research in the 
Atotonilco el Alto area of Jalisco.  I work at a Family History 
Center in Bonita, California which has other films that are part 
of my research.  Some of those films cover Ayo el Chico, Tepatitlan 
de Morelos, La Barca, and Jalostotitlan.
    If I can help anyone with their research, I will be glad to do 
so.  Just please be patient.  It takes a while to put some names 
together and I like to do the best job possible.
