general Digest, Vol 2, Issue 18
Linda,
what I found is that when I posted my info on Ancestry.com's website,
soon after, the info I had provided was being offered for sale.
I have a cousin who had the same experience.
Therefore, I have learned: do not give ancestry.com ANY info: they will sell it back to you and to anyone else they can.

Genealogy Sources for Jerez, Zacatecas
I just got some valuable information that has allowed me to definitively connect a couple of my lineages to the Escobedo clan of Francisco Escobedo, founder of Monte Escobedo. This family married into nearly all of the prominent families in Jerez, Zacatecas so I have been persuing around the web and have come up on a couple of useful resources.

Coins of The Realm
I found these old coins while on vacation in Teocaltiche and Jalostotitlán, Jalisco last year. I think this is one important subject that we have not talked about in the forum, MONEY! The coins are located in the John Gonzalez file.

(which I think we already do anyway) so I thought this was interesting because it shows some illustrations of what originally was considered Nueva Galicia.
what does abuelos seigneron ... mean?
what does the phrase "Abuelos seigneron fueron padrinos ..." mean in a baptism document. Are they both abuelos and padrinos? I would have attached the document, but I don't see a way of doing that. With the email system it was easy to do. Well, that's progress.

I guess you'll have to move me. I'm still on the road (Florida now)
