Re: [ranchos] Film Inventory SLC for Jalisco and Zacatecas

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

Wow (2) I'm totally amazed at how much we are coming together as a 
group. I feel like the info we're contributing is important and not the 
kind of  stuff you find on other groups. thanks everyone for staying 
focused. At the same time there's nothing that says you can't 
occasionally post an account or a picture or two of a family activity. 
Afterall we all might be related*** and genealogy is about us as a family.

DNA because this research group is coming to Chapel Hill, NC in a couple 
of weeks)

She probably won't remember me but I just talked to her yesterday from 
the Family History Center in Chapel Hill where I volunteer. Ask her if 
she remembers Joseph Puentes from NC. (By the way Kitty. You and I need 
to exchange phone numbers via private email so we can discuss those 
baptism records you sent. Didn't you say that you wanted a second 
opinion on what the dates were?)

I might have missed it but I didn't get a notice sent of a new file. Did 
you check the box where it says "Notify goup" ? Thanks so much for doing 
this. If I'm understanding correctly this is the most up to date list of 
films available for those areas is that right?

Is this Santa Maria my (like if the Puentes were the only ones in Santa

thanks soooooo much for doing this. Great contribution.

I'm all for it. Maybe I can try to work it so that our 2 FHC's will put 
out a notice that a trip is being formed. Maybe we can get a discount on 
a group rather than individual faire's.
