Are there any Huerfanos in the group. . .are there any orphans that
don't have others members researching the same general area as you are
researching in Jalisco, Zacatecas or Aguascalientes? Well if you want to
invite researchers to Ranchos that are researching your specific area
let me know and I'll give you ideas.

I just went to rootsweb and did a geneal search of all the message
boards for those that are researching the Valparaiso, Zacatecas area. I
searched the first 26 pages and found 15 individuals. I then typed their
names into an email and send them an invitation to consider joining the
group. naturally if they are not serious researchers I won't let them
into the group. Of those 15 email addresses 4 were invalid, but lets see
if maybe 1 or 2 of the others might not find a serious researcher.

I said all that only to say that if you are the only one looking in your
area that is a way to find others to join you in your search. . .spend
some time on rootsweb

My name is Lorenzo Cuesta.  

I was born and raised in Southern Texas (Laredo), but for the past 30 
years I have lived in Sacramento, California.  I have done most of my 
research through the Family History Center films and their website 
databases.  

Though the Cuesta side of my family came from Real del Catorce, SLP 
and Monterrrey N.L., most of my ancestors come from the Zacatecas and 
Jalisco area.  

I am researching the following surnames from Nochistlan, Zacatecas: 
Ortiz, Cajero, Donlucas, Borroel, and Luis.  To a lesser degree, I 
also have ancestors from Nochistlan with the following surnames: 
Valencia, Santillan, Sanchez, Quirarte, Sandoval, Pedroza, and 
Martinez.  

Some of these ancestores come from the surrounding areas: 
Tepechitlan, Zac; Duranes, Zac; Ayo El Chico, Jal; and Yahualica, Jal.

Most of the family group information that I have compiled, can be 
accessed from my rootsweb pages:

I look

Evie, Ameca in Jalisco and Amecameca in Estado de
Mexico are 2 very different locations. Most likely,
you should be looking for Ameca, Jalisco. The names,
though similar, represent to different places in 2
different states.

have a look in the links under "Universities."
