Here is the form letter I send out to those that want to be members of
the group. with more and more people who don't speak English expressing
interest in the group I'd like someone to translate this form letter.
Actually before doing that I think it would be good for someone who has
a good command of English to first go through it and correct my poor
English. Even a wholesale revamping of the letter would be okay as long
as strength of the 2 absolute requirements stayed in the text.
Does anyone have suggestions? I never said language was my strength. .

==================================
Hello,
I'm glad you are interested in joining the Ranchos group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ranchos/.
We are a
small but dedicated group of serious researchers. Here is the
description of the group from our home page:
"This group is for those
actively searching for their Mexican Genealogy Roots. El objetivo de
este grupo cibernético es para poner en contacto genealogistas serios
que tienen raíces en Jalisco, Zacatecas y Aguascalientes, y así,
facilitar las investigaciónes genealógicas de los miembros. The intent
but never the requirement is to stay focused on the Ranchos of Jalisco,
Zacatecas and Aguascalientes. If you are a serious researcher or want
to be a serious researcher this group is for you. If you have no
intention of doing your own research I would suggest the multitude of
message boards available at Rootsweb. Please scan through the message
archive, which is open to the general public, to get an idea of what is
meant by doing your own research.
Note: If you decide to join this group it will be expected that as soon
as you are comfortable you will introduce yourself describing what
surnames you are researching in what areas during which time periods.
Also you will be expected to send in your Genealogy line from the
Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes areas so that we can try to make
some connections with one another. These files or links to your
Genealogy will be kept in Non-Public areas of the group."
This group is also open to those earnestly desiring to become serious
researchers. To join the group I need for you to acknowledge your
willingness to comply with the two simple requirements:
1) You have done or are willing to do your own research. [This group is
only for those that do their own work. What I'm saying is that some
only look for others that have done all the hard work and then
contribute nothing to it. There are plenty of message boards on
Rootsweb that offer opportunities like this].
2) You are willing to send me your genealogical line so I can put it in
the "non-public" area of the group. The strength of this group
is the unity within the members. Several of us have found that we are
related. I have found 2 sixth cousins and another 2 cousins that is yet
to be determined as to the exact relationship. Many others have found
relatives in the group only by tying into their genealogies. We find
connections and share our work and help one another.
If you have any reservations about the above requirements why not take
some time and think about it. In the meantime please look at the groups
home page and look at the message archives which are open to the public.
