JosephPuente's Research Surnames and Areas

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

thanks all for the great response to my encouragement to introduce 
yourselves. I have a suggestion. Just like Maria did below why don't we 
all post again and do it only in this format
My name is: Joseph Puentes

I'm doing research on these Surnames:  Joseph Puentes de Diaz, Aguallo, 
Ledesma, Casas, Alvarez,
Varela, Gonsalez, Sanchez, Leaños, Marquez, Torres, Santa Maria, Lugo, 
Espinosa, Romero, Banuelos,
Miranda, Muro, Nava, Castañeda y Rivas. (thanks Maria for the ñ)


I'm researching these areas---  Jalisco: Colotlan, Santa Maria de Los 
Angeles, Rancho de Animas, Salto de Los Romeros, Sauz de Los Marquez, 
Ojo de Agua, Sotoles, Huejucar and a few other Ranchos in the Colotlan 
jurisdicion (if that is the right word for it). Zacatecas:
Sombrerete, Rancho de Los Negros in the Villanueba district, Coculiten, 
Momax, Tlaltenango, Tepechitlan, and Tepetongo.
I guess I really need to clarify what I mean. I have relatives that come 
from or I believe come from these areas. I've actaully researched some 
and am moving toward the research of the other. With thoroughness being 
a strict requirement it might take me years to get to some of these but 
you never know. I mentioned them all just in case some of you all might 
be working in these areas.
=================

Also in the Near Future I'm going to post all the films I currently have 
on permanent reserve at my local Family History Center.
This brings up something I've been thinking about. . .time. Most of us 
lead busy lives that just don't allow as much free time for genealogy. 
Therefore we need to be willing to help each other but also be aware 
that we might not have a lot of time to be doing in depth research for 
each other. I'm going to list my films so that  if you all have some 
general questions about what to expect from a film I might have I can 
tell you or try to tell you about them. Also I really love helping 
people and would do some quick look ups if given the exact date and 
location. And depending on whatever help is needed I'm might be 
presuaded to be cooperative. . .heck i'm addicted    8^)
Well i just got home from work and its 2:30 am and i have a few more 
emails to check and i'm off to bed.
Joseph

ps: anybody here know Mrs. Shirmacher the woman of Mexico Expertise at 
the Family History Library in Salt Lake City?
