Joseph,
I'll do the translating for you. Just give me a little time and I'll
email you the Spanish version.
Just one thing. Should I wait until you make final revisions to the
English original?

Who is the English Major in the group? I really really need help
getting
the following form letter into the proper English before I work
with
John and anyone else that would care to join in translating it into
Spanish.
Can someone help me with the English?

ps: its okay to tear it to shreds and rewrite if that is what it
needs.
All I care about is that the basic information be included.
====================
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" files section 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.
Joseph Puentes
