Re: [ranchos] Questions for Colotlan interview

[Carol Turner <cmuroturner@...>]

These are great questions!  Some of my questions are:

The City of Colotlan was segregated Spanish/Native
Indians, when did the segregation end?  I noticed our
family started to mix with the Indios in the early to
mid-1800's.  

What small battles took place near and around the
city?

What type of life did women have to endure during the
late 1700's, early 1800's in regards to family,
survival, work?

What type of education was provided during the 1800's?

What is the most significant tragedy that stands out
in Colotlan's history as well as a joyous occasion
that that will always be remembered or stand out in
history?

Well I could keep going with many questions but then
the interview would go on for two days!
