Tepatitlan de Morelos

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

here is an idea. Why not try to recruit some more people into the group 
with roots in Tepatitlan de Morelos? Go to Rootsweb and to the message 
boards and then in the search window enter "Tepatitlan de Morelos" and 
then just plain "Tepatitlan." Have a look around for the messages of 
people that seem to be serious and invite them to join Ranchos. I got 
over a hundred hits on Tepatitlan and 27 for Tepatitlan de Morelos.
maybe go over to some of the other large groups and see who is 
researching that area.
you say you've been to SLC, but are you ordering films and seaching them 
in the family history center close to you? What city do you live in? 
Where are you stuck and which type of records have you researched so far 
and during what time period?
