RE: [ranchos] Researcher for Zacatecas

["Josie T. Trevino" <Josiett3@...>]

Joseph,

Jose Luis  took the words right out of my mouth!  :-)   I was also thinking the same thing.......if we, those that are interested, each contribute a certain amount of $$$, would Senor Leonardo de la Torre Berumen do research for us?  I met Senor de la Torre a few years ago in Jerez and he is a very nice person, very knowledgeable......and a very sharing person.  I would not hesitate to have him do research for me.  I really believe we are on to a good thing here......

Joseph; With enough interested parties, $100 may not be 
necessary. I know a family that contributes $25 each to do their family line per 
month. If there was a coordinated effort to line up all parties/surnames and 
locations then it would be possible for the searcher to do each line and make a 
good living. Do you agree ?  I wonder if this is a practicable suggestion. 
Arturo may be on to something and if it works out then a link will have been 
established that we all can follow. We would need to see the film documentation 
or it would be valueless.
I would like to hear your take on the matter as I 
think that this could blossom.

Arturo what do you suppose a figure would be for this monthly 
stipend? 
Are you thinking that several of us that might be interested could 
contribute to come up with this monthly stipend? Did you get an idea of 
what he was talking about?

I wonder how many hours of research $100 
would buy me? Well that is all 
I'd be willing to contribute. I have a dead 
end in Zacatecas, Zacatecas 
I need "advice" in knowing how to get 
around.

let me know if you think this would buy me something and if so 
I'll send 
you 5 scanned records that will give you the information he will 
need to 
do my preliminary investigation.
