Yes, Alicia,
It is great when one record that states the "originario de" leads to other
places even in other states. That is how I got so far back on my husband's
tree---from Encarnacion de Diaz to other places in Jalisco and
Aguascalientes. When we were at the SLC FHC, I kept my husband from being
bored out of his skull by retrieving one film after another for him after he
found his ancestors and loading them into the reader for him (something he
refused to do -- he is so "mandon"), and since he is fluent in Spanish, he found
the records easily and found them interesting and was amazed that one film kept
leading to others farther and farther back in time. He also found records
for me, since he loves libraries. Also, he was able to speak to some Mexicans
and South Americans in Spanish and they were very helpful in figuring out
handwriting, etc.

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

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

questions from a
previous message.
Easy does it!
