Re: Question about Researching in a Parish

["Erlinda Castanon-Long" <longsjourney@...>]

Jonathan, I spent 3 days in Ciudad Guzman/Zapotlan El Grande but 
didn't know at the time that my ancestors had lived there so didn't 
look at it through those eyes.  There are 2 church's in the square.  
A very large one and to the side a small one. If your searching for 
specific records double check which of the two church's have them.  
The people were very friendly and there are a great variety of 
hotels and motels with a very old one right in the plaza area. It's 
a hub for everything in that part of Jalisco. My destination was 
Tamazula and Zapotiltic but the accomodations there were terrible so 
we returned each night to our motel in Ciudad Gusman, I believe the 
rooms ran about $40. American for a room for 3 people and were very 
nice. Lot's of good place's to eat and even a natural yogurt and 
health food store that was wonderul.
Good luck on your trip, Linda in Everett
