I am switiching this conversation to the Research list since this is really a research topic.
There are 26 Gerardo Diaz in the Social Security death index. Where did your gradfather initially live/work when he immigrated to the United States? Where did he cross the border (El Paso? Nogales?) Do you know when and where he died?

Thank you for your assistance... I am eager to begin my research.
My grandfather's name was Gerardo Diaz.

We know that nearly all of the old Ranchos members made it over to the new site by logging in at least once since the site was launched.
However, there is a large number of people who are not signed up for the mailing lists. Joseph did the first step of the process for a number of people when he moved their files over from the old site. However, in order for the mailing list sign-up process to be completed, the person signing up MUST reply to the confirmation e-mails that she or he receives.
...or is it harder to post a message? I don't mean to come to the site and actually post. But, when Ranchos was around, it was easy to see and respond to a message because it popped up in our email. Now we actually have to come to the site...and I'm finding that, now, I'm not doing it as often. I love the site, really, it just seems harder. I feel like I haven't really had any dialogue with anyone. :o(
I'm a proud grandmother, too. This is my clan (w/yr of birth; without surnames) -
The children of my daughter Elena:
Joseph Jesus, 1999
Emma Anabel, 2001
Carolina Ryann, 2005 (Carolina - with a Spanish pronounciation, NOT like in North Carolina)

In the "Diccionario Geografico" Where do you click to go to a different letter of the alphabet? When it first opens up, the "A" comes up. I want to go to the "M".
Thank you.

Joseph,
Got your request. Some of my fondest memories of my Mom are of the way she
would use hand gestures to emphasize a point. Such as touching the tip of her
index finger to the area below the outside corner of her eye, then pulling
wow you guys are great. Please keep having these meetings and hopefully
more and more members will start attending.
thanks for CC'ing me. . .I'm happy to be included.

I don't know if this will go through. I thought I posted something yesterday and I don't think it went through. I thought I was signed up for the mailing list but maybe I'm not?

Did we lose all of you?
I hate to stimulate conversation for the sake of conversation, but. . .

As some of you have noticed, one of the new functionalities of the new Nuestros Ranchos site is the films database. The database allows you to search the IGI and VRI indices on familysearch.org simply by finding the name of the relevant municipality and the relavant dates. The database also has information on films that members have on permanent loan at their local Family History Centers.

My wife Gloria and I are still here, Xossef. You can't lose us that easily. We're slow but steady...como las tortugas. We don't have any great grandchildren yet. Our latest grandchild is Elena Lin, 8 months old. Her father is our youngest son, Eduardo Mateo Cancio DELGADO Calvillo. Her mother is Janeen Louie Wong, fourth generation Chinese-American. Elena's GGGGGGGGGParents are: Pedro de Campos and Xacinntta de Espinossa from Pinos, Zacatecas. I estimate their birth at 1660/1665. That's on my father's side. Gloria would have to do her own calculation for her side.
I have posted a couple of chapters of a book I just purchased in the Files section. For anyone interested in historical ethnography or the issue of castes and slavery in Mexico, it is the seminal work on Mexican black ethnohistory.
Stay with me as these announcements will finish in two more days. Wasn't
there some politician that had a policy about "No One Being Left
Behind!" Well I just hope that the carnage (lost members) will not be as
