1876 Map of Jalisco/Jonathan's Resource Disk

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

yes I'll do that but as i was told that this town is now a ghost town. but just in case it still survives i'll have a look. What I need to do is search a good old map say from back in the early 1900's or earlier. I've got one that was sent to me by Gloria Delgado from the 1876 time period. I need to go and study that map. thanks for your message because it clarified what I had said in my own mind that this will be the only way to find this town. Or maybe in that online dictionary in the links area. thanks for any comments as the give me ideas.

thanks,

joseph

ps: I'm continually amazed at how much information is on your resource disk. If anyone is interested in receiving a disk packed with info on our target area and all of Mexico write to Jonathan for the cost details. Well worth the price. jonathan@...

Joseph,

Use the Resource disk, that I sent you.  go to the geographical index,
look under Jalisco, and click on the 2000 census info.  It is a .pdf
file.  Open the search option, and try a combination of letters, and
see if you find you town.

Thanks,
Jonathan

oooh, oooh, oooh!!!! I just got off the phone from collecting some 
critical Oral history from an Aunt that has been very very reluctant to 
talk to me about her mother or my one and only Solid Brick Wall:
    

Antonia 
  

Lopez. I got confirmation that Antonia Lopez is indeed her name. she is 
my maternal grandmother! Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway now here is the most important information that she gave me:

she said that she was from a town that sounds like Juclaclan 
(who-cla-clan).

Can all of those that have great imaginations and have studied your 
specific areas of Jalisco send me any town, pueblos, ranchos or
    

anything 
  

that even remotely sounds like Juclaclan.

Boy if I could just break this one line I would be so far in heaven you 
might not hear from me again.

I can't believe it I really can't. . .this aunt just opened right up
    

and 
  

talked to me so natural. I think she saw how persistent I had been all 
the while not being pushy to get info from her. I would just 
occassionally call and establish a good repoire with her and just 
casually toss in tidbits of my research. I never pushed her and then 
today she just started talking about her mom. . .what a great great day 
it is for me!!!!

as you can see I'm so so happy!

now I hope to find this Juclaclan. . .she also said that she and
    

another 
  

aunt of mine once went there [she couldn't remember what it was close 
to] and that the only thing remaining of it was a pile of stones where 
it had once been. hmmm a ghost town.

thanks for your help. . .
