Hi again!
Marge, I did go through your files…and was
caught by the one on Altagracia Gonzalez. Do you have
any info on Cenobio Gonzalez’s extended family?
Thanks,
Connie

Introduction
Welcome, Connie! Go have a look at my information in
the archive files. Some of it might connect with your family. Marge Vallazza:)

Hello all!
My name is
Connie Dominguez and I've just joined the Ranchos Groups. I
look forward
to learning a lot and sharing whenever I can. I have
compiled a
lot of information over the past 9 years since I embarked
on this
journey...so much so that I can't keep a good handle on it.
Recently, I
lost all of my old Word documents (things I'd compiled,
lists,
copies of emails & posts, etc.) in a computer crash. A few
paper copies
that I had just happened to print out survived. I will
try to
reproduce or scan (bit by bit) what I feel might be useful to
the
group.
I began
working on my own family tree and slowly began to branch out
to help
others. What was once a light hobby became much more. I began
corresponding
with many researchers, including some in this group, and
began
learning and helping. I welcomed challenges from fellow
researchers
and tried to answer as many as I could. In fact, I began
researching/answering
so many requests from others that it's been
years since
I've actually worked on my direct family lines. :-)
I also began
a 'small project' (or so I thought) in an effort to get
the big
picture of the founding families of Aguas. I decided to
extract the
baptisms, marriages and burials for Españoles from the
parish
records of El Sagrario in Aguascalientes, Aguas., for the 17th
century.
(I extracted only Esp. or those having similar names or
mixed
marriages only because most designated 'indios' or 'esclavos' in
the books
did not carry surnames, and because my lines had previously
been
classified as 'españoles'). However, with this extraction came
the tendency
to begin linking families and compiling the data.
Eventually,
I went back to the beginning and compiled family group
sheets for
every married couple and filled in as many children as I
could. I am
still in the thick of this process. I was right...I do
have a much
bigger picture of the families of Aguas., but in some
ways it's
too big! I intend to publish this information eventually
and add
other compilations I've made in the book's appendices.
I will
upload the specific surnames I am researching linked to their
places and
times. Likewise I will try to retrieve posts I may have
added to
other lists and post them here if I feel they might be
helpful.
I've added my surname list to the Who's Who section of
this group
if you have any questions or can offer any assistance with
those names.
Happy
Hunting!
Connie
