Hello Roberto,

    How was their inventory on Microfilm from San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco or did you request microfilm in advance?

Subject: RE: [ranchos] info on a Salt Lake City hotel

Hey,

Just left Salt Lake City yesterday, and whenever I'm in town I stay at the Howard Johnson Express, On N. Temple & 300 West.  It's $40 a night for a queen or king size bed, and about 5-10 walk to the Family History Library.

There are hotels a block or two closer, but if cost is an issue, I'd stay at Howard Johnsons.

There are many reasons why I do the majority of my researh, in Salt
Lake at the Family History Library.

1. You have access, to all the films that the FHL has.  All the films
that your local Family History Centers can order, and also all the films  
that are restricted to Salt Lake only.

2. The films that are off-site (vault), you can always order them into
the library.  There is no charge, to order the films, from the vault.
 It usually take 1 or 2 days, to arrive.  Also, the films then stay in
the Library.  Because technically, all the films that the FHL has should 
be in the Library.  But until a need is shown for the film, it is kept
in the vault.

3. There is help desk, on each floor, where you can ask questions. 
And usually there is someone who can answer your questions.  Also, for
with Mexico research, there is Sister Ruth Schirmacher who is an
Accredited Genealogist, for Mexico on staff.  She can be great help.

4. Also, you have access, to all the books, that are in the FHL

Wow, I would have never thought of this.  I was in several of our target areas just a few years ago!  Prima Nena, this will be a task to give your folks when they go back.... 

Louisa, I also have family in aguas.  Could I please have you do a look up for me when you get it?

The LDS in Westwood is located on Santa Monica
Boulevard at the corner of Manning. Not to far east of
the 405 Freeway and north of the 10 Freeway. I was
told there that it was the second largest in the
country, after the one in Salt Lake City. It has many
films. The most are from the state of Jalisco. I found
several good ones for Tepa and Atotnilco (los Altos),
but I have been ordering some. I got to the point that
I rather take a trip to Salt Lake City before I spend
more to have some sent to L.A. Whoever goes to Salt
Lake City needs to give us the inside scoop for those
of us who want to go in the near future, but are not
certain how soon it will be.

Hijola,

somebody at that FHC is doing some intense research in our target area.
. .if you wouldn't mind maybe put up a notice on the FHC patron
information board about Ranchos. I'm always interested in adding serious
researchers [with an emphasis on serious but no emphasis on whether they
are beginners, journeymen, or advanced] to the group.

let me know if you want me to send you something to put up on the
bulletin board.

ps: General message to the group: its okay to tell people that are
studying in our target area about the group, but make sure they
understand there are two "easy" requirements to be a member that I will
make them comitt to in writing before subscribing them.

PS



I have never seen them for sale....as a matter of fact as early as the latter part of last year...when I traveled to Mexico.....I had to ask for a phone book.  The hotels in which I stayed did not have phone books in the room.  You wonder why, huh?.......

Hello Joseph,

I've been trying to get a phone book from Zacatecas and nearby 
towns.  I've been making calls to the company that publishes the 
phone books, which is "Sección Amarilla" but I've been getting 
refered from one place to another and haven't been succesful yet.

Their website (www.seccionamarilla.com.mx) allows you to lookup a 
number of any place in México but you have to enter the name of the 
person, which I suspect is not exactly what you'd like doing anyway.  
You see, these phone books are printed only for their subscribers, 
and although I'm sure that they have to print some extra copies is 
not very easy finding them.  I'm still trying, though.

I've also posted some messages in one of the Zacatecas forums asking 
for help from someone who lives there to help us get at least one 
phone book.  No answer yet.  By the way, is it Ok if I get last 
year's edition?

Victor.
