But here's my question: He should have been baptized sometime in April

did come across a mystifying reference to a 'libro secreto #2'
sorry but I never heard of this before.
wherein
(I assume) were written the entries of natural or illegitimate
children [Film #299489, Bautismos del Sagrario 1868-1870]. If I were
to find this libro secreto #2, maybe it would list my grandfather's
baptism.
Has anyone else come across a reference to this libro secreto #2, or
does anyone know how to find out more about it? We asked the personnel
at the LDS Library,
do you mean at the LDS Library in SLC or the Family History Center near
you? I know there is a department of the LDS Library in SLC that
handles questions on international genealogy, but I'm not sure they
would be better able to answer this question as it sounds like a
reference to something the priest were doing locally, but you never
know. Also the Hispanic reading room at the library of Congress has an
"ask a librarian" program:
http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-hispanic-eng.html
the Library of Congress also has a genealogy section and here is there
ask a librarian page:
http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-genealogy.html
but they didn't have a clue as to what it meant.
Later on my grandfather went through the Seminary in Guadalajara, and
studied there intending to enter the priesthood; and I would think that
one of the primary papers you would need to enter the Seminary is a
baptismal record.
if he had been ordinated and actually became a priest you might have
been able to find him in these records, but I think not in your
situation---oops the time span is wrong as well:

I've been trying to clean up and complete my genealogy as much as
possible to submit it to this group (and to make Joseph happy).
hey I'm happy )
Unfortunately the fact is that my genealogy has several 'holes' for
which I have only oral documentation
welcome to the rest of us. I "only" have oral history and vivid
memories of the time my grandmother tackled me to force castor oil down
my throat for her existence. I can then find her parents and much
information going back from there, but as far as the records go there
is nothing on paper for my grandmother ever having lived on this earth.
I can go to her grave and find burial papers but nothing saying her
father and mother were so and so.
don't worry the gaps will fill in as they were meant to be filled in.
And if it is up to the following generation of family genealogist to do
the filling in well that is just something we now will have to live
with.
... (and sometimes not even that,
just a very strong intuition based on extensive research) and I don't
have a clue as to what to do about it. Perhaps just accept it as a
fact of life and submit what I have? No responsible genealogist wants
to propagate errors, but if I don't turn in what I have, the little I
do know, and the connections I've made, will be lost.
I didn't understand. How will it be lost if you don't turn it in? What
you need to do is get your work as complete as you can and make 20
copies of it and distribute it to your family far and wide with a cover
letter asking that the older ones pass this info on to the younger ones
with their promise that when they get old they will pass it on to their
younger ones with the same promise. As you update and get new info then
make another 20 copies and pass them on. Keep doing this. hopefully 10
generations from now your work will still be floating around. Hopefully
it won't take 10 generations for someone in your family to take up your
work where you left off. In my family I wonder if 20 generations will
be enough!
What have
others done in similar cases? Your thoughts or ideas would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Gloria
