Re: [ranchos] Records for "No Pagados" and some others.


 
Oigalo, Arturo! buen idea Jose Roman!

Arturo if you find a new source of records in Colotlan and/or Totatiche, let's see if the LDS library would consider sending a crew. In fact if you let them know ahead of time that you are making the trip they might give you "tips" on how to prepare for a "future" microfilming trip. I think this along with your call for volunteers for the Colotlan Census is something that could very much benefit future genealogist. you could make a difference!

Along that lines I've been thinking of making a call for volunteers, but am not ready yet. My project is the Notario records of Guadalajara. I was thinking that if 25 people volunteered to look at 1 or 2 films a year that we could start giving the Nortario records a much better index than is currently available. There is real "gold" in those records for many and possibly for many of us, but the way they are catalogued its like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm not sure but if we took one film and just wrote the name of the Notario, name of the person involved,  the location and date---well I think this would be great.

Let's hold off on this project until I get more info from George Ryskamp. Who knows but maybe someone has already done this work, but I think not.

Hi:
 
When a new record or group of records is found in the source original (manuscripts), and it is not preserved in other media, I think that we should contribute to preserve them. One way to do this is write a notice to the "microfilm production project of the Mormon Church", because they has demonstrated that they can resolve this hard labor with their economic resources; the Mexican government generally not pay attention to this work because for the cost that they can't like to finance.
 
Is only a idea!
