thank you so much for this encouragement. I can't tell you why but early
on in my use of the FamilySearch website I've gotten used to using the IGI
"only" and I can see now that I really need to be doing my searches using
the "all resources" search feature.



thanks again. . .I'm converted.

I wouldn't search in just the IGI tab (link).  Search in the All 
Resources tab.  It would automatically search in the International 
Genealogical Index (IGI) tab, the Vital Records Index (VRI) tab, and 
the Ancestral File tab.  One search for all three tabs!  The only 
problem is that it searches the other tabs which may not apply.  Just 
use the 'Sources Searched' section on your search results page, to 
see the full results in the selected tab

VRI/Mexico).  And then you will only need to drill down the tabs that 
apply.  The information in the VRI tab is more informative than the 
IGI tab.  It will include the parents and grandparents in christening 
records and the parents of the bride and groom in marriage records, 
and it includes

I have only seen Pio as a nickname for Pioquinto, (and Pia for 
Pioquinta).

P.S.  I am working on getting some information to you on Manuel 
Romero and Ana Maria Casas.  I'll send an email in the next couple of 
days.

If your mom was registered in Chihuahua, Chihuahua then you hopefully can
find her in the civil records of that town. I'd say to look at the church
records but would be unsure which church she was baptised in. Later you can
order the films one at a time to find her. Anyway here is the listing of
the Civil records for Chihuahua up to the 1905 time period. . .I think that
is where I would start. If you need help in understanding how I found this
information on the Family Search Website let me know and I'll walk you through. 
Note that if you can't find them here and decide to check the church records
you might have to find them under the listing of "Hijos Naturales" since
you believe the parents were never married:

Title

Hi Joseph,

I have a little problem locating soneone that was born somewhere in
the 1909 - 1914.

First let me mention that my grandparents didn't get married. 
Their names were Jesus Alejandro Mitre and Concepcion Gandara

Second, they had 5 children.  One in Chihuahua, Chihuahua that
I know of (my mother Elena Mitre Gandra.)  she was born on August
15, 1905.

The rest claim that they were born in El Paso, Texas. Which I don't
believe and I will tell you why.

My grandfather Jesus Mitre was a string player and played at the theator
Lydico philharmonic in Mexico City where I was told that the rest of the
clan were born.

Problem is I don't know where to search.  The LDS don't have it
and I don't know who to write to.

This is why I am asking if you can help me locate a person, or place
that I can ask for registration, and or baptizos.

Your help would be very appricated

Thank you

Mary

up in the top right click on "Register"

fill out the form (FREE) carefully writting down whatever ID and
password you choose (This part is critical!!!)

put the paper you wrote down your ID and Password in a safe place (don't
do like me and have to go hunting for those little scattered pieces of
paper I have with various and sundry passwords and id's)

After you've done this you'll have a Free Yahoo email address and account.

For ID I sometimes use my first name and zip code you decide whatever if
easy for you to remember.

After you do this click "Submit this form" and you should be signed up
for full access.

NOTE: if you don't want to be getting advertising email from Yahoo
uncheck any boxes at the bottom before submitting the form.

I think this is all if I've forgotten let me know and we'll go over it a
little deeper.

Dear Mr Puentes,

yes at 49 I am kind of an old fart, but please do call me

No.



go to:  http://www.familysearch.org



spend some time looking around the site clicking all the links and see whats
available. . .its all free unless you order something. And if you do order
something like the Mexican Vital Records its soooo cheap for what you get.



Anyway after looking around click on the Search tab.



then on the left side click on the IGI link



and then just start using the free search.



let me know if I can help you in a specific search, we can go over it together
if you have any trouble. I truly believe after you or anyone else has done
two or so searches they will be fairly confident in their ability to navigate
the basic search part of the site.

ps:



one possible discouraging note on trying to find people that are less than
110 years old. Privacy is a concern of the LDS church and you will rarely
find info on current generations. but once you get past that 110 year area
you should start seeing more info.



this is not to say that the information isn't

http://www.behindthename.com/

cool site for those that haven't seen it before.

ps: Kitty this was send in response to your message about names. I'm
personally not to up on the different nicknames and used for the various
names but think this subject is extremely important as i have a whole
list of people that I think are the same person but in one record they
might be referred to as "Juan Jose" and in the next as "Tito" and then
"Sixto"

Has anyone ever seen "Tadeo" and "Pero" used interchangeably? How about
what is "Pio" the nickname for. . .could it be for "Esiquio?"

snail mail or finding someone else with a scanner will have to do. . .but
I work for the Postal Service and sending it that way would help keep me
employed and help this list continue. . .8^)

Hi all,

I just got back from a very successful 4 day visit to CA. It was soooo
packed with activity most of it genealogy related. . .I visited with
family. I must have spend 100-150 bucks at kinko's using their 99cent
photo printer. And like puzzlework I was getting my money worth getting
up to 9 pictures on each 8.5 x 11 pages.

===================

Just wanted to share my concern that everyone on the list be very aware
that when you reply to a message that comes to you from the list (hint:
it has this in the subject: [ranchos]). Well if you reply to a message
with this in the subject it will go to everyone in the list. So if you
want to send a private email to someone that might have replied to your
message you have to cut and paste their email into the [To:] window.

thats what the group is all about to send out messages to the whole group.

so unless you really intend for the whole group to have things like your
personal information never send it out to emails with
