The books cover the first Spanish settlers of Los Altos de Jalisco.  
Some families do extend to other states, so you might find some of 
your ancestry covered in one of the chapters.  I have a copy of Tomo 
I which contains a "Plan general de la obra" for all the subsequent 
Tomos (II - VI) and has all the surnames covered.  If anyone wants me 
to check for any surnames send me an e-mail.

Each chapter begins with the first settlers and then traces their 
male descendancy. Sources are cited for every bit of data.

Hi all!  I just thought I'd write to ask who may be interested in a 
Southern California or maybe even a Central California meeting.  
Since I was so impressed with the Sacramento meeting, I would like 
to arrange something similar, since I'm sure there are many members 
who would like to meet in the Southern California region.

Please tell me the following:

1.  Do you prefer a meeting in the Los Angeles area or Central 
California, as someone suggested in a previous message, so that 
members in Northern California could meet us?

2.  Is January or February the best month for you?


If I can get ideas as to timing and interest, I can then offer 
choices.  

Thanks!

Rosalinda

I'm interested but I want to know how much it will cost. Marge:)

I don't know. . .i would say it depends on how the book is formatted. If its 6 volumes all bound together probably not but if its 6 separate maybe so. I'm sure more info will be come soon.



maybe direct your email to Francisco since he is in direct communication with Mariano Gonzalez Leal



thanks,

I have just read the second mesage where I found out that the next edition of "Retoños"  will consist of six volumes.  I am wondering if it is going to be possible to purchase just the volume that covers the area, or family of interest,  without having to buy the other five?  Is it going to be a requirement to purchase the complete set?

We're planning on going to Los Altos in June or July
2006, and if the tour is for that time frame, I'm
interested.

well you know how I am. So when you all have sorted things out a bit
more please give us a brief overview of who is related to who and how.

Shall we get go ahead and reserve the Mariachi's? Where is the
fiesta/baile going to be? You know we should not take it lightly when
various branches of a family have somehow lost each other for 100's of
years and suddenly now when no one remembers anyone in the other branch,
the branches find each other. its time to rejoice and be happy. Its like
finding a needle in a hay stack. . .it took two or more parties doing
very very hard and tedious genealogical research to make a very distant
connection and discover that the same blood the same DNA the same
familia is "common."

is someone going to make capidotada (Emilie)? or do we have to wait
until lent? how about some menudo. . .its almost New Years anyway we
don't only have it for New Years, we've gotten away from that and have
it whenever someone wants to make it. . .which normally
