Joseph,
This is soooo cool, I can only imagine how it felt when you found that magic record, I bet you are still doing the happy dance. The wonderful thing is that with this one breakthrough it leads you to so many other names and "Ranchos''. The wonderful thing about most records is that they state what ''Rancho'' they resided in, it also tells you the names of the padrinos or the testigos and what ranchos they came from. The names of the ranchos are very telling because for the most part the padrinos and the testigos all came from the same area and in most cases they were all related.
Felicidades Joseph, y echale ganas !.........Alicia Avelar Olmos de Carrillo

Congratulations, Joseph, on breaking through your brick wall. It
gives me hope that I can also break some brick walls of my own!
Also, I sympathize with you being "cansado" from all you duties and
chores as a group admnistrator. You seem to have answered your own
questions from a previous message.
Easy does it!
