okay some have problems with finding out the "Where" in Mexico they came
from. I want to eventually get interviews with people in INS and Social
Security and other gov't offices to see what information is freely open
to the public that might give clues on where in Mexico people came from.

Can you all email me directly with your thoughts on what questions can
be asked of people high up in these organizations. I'd like to go
prepared and can only think of these questions:

1) With regards to the freedom of information act what info is available
to the general public in (their organization).

2) On the records that are available what kind of information is usually
collected?

3) What time periods did these records cover?

4) What preliminary work can the information seeker perform to
facilitate the look up of records?

5) Are there specific forms that need to be used for information request?

6) Are there costs involved with requesting records? And if so what are
they?

Hello Emilie,

Have you read the description of Salitrillo in the "Diccionario
Geográfico, Histórico y Biográfico de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos."

http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm

Salitrillo. 5 ranchos del Estado de Zacatecas: Uno del partido de
Fresnillo, municipalidad de Valparaíso. - Dos del partido de Jerez,
municipalidad de Tepetongo. - Otro del partido de Nochixtlán,
municipalidad de Toyahua. - Otro del partido de Villanueva,
municipalidad de Jalpa.

The coordinates that you found are completely in a different area of
Zacatecas, right in the border of Coahuila.

Victor.

They include the surnames Tinajero, Olague, Valdez, Feliz, Flores,
Suriano, Salasar, Munos, Lucio, Vasquez, Garcia, Quijas, Banegas,
Escobedo and possibly Mata.  Most of these were baptized or married in
Tepetongo, Zacatecas

My apologies, it won't happen again..

just wanting to keep people in the loop for possible cooperation with
the Colotlan Yahoo Group. Boy does my Spanish leave a lot to be desired:

Respecto a tu pregunta…

La Radio Universidad de Colotlán retransmite (vía Internet) desde hace dos
años la programación de Radio Universidad de Guadalajara, es decir no
contaba con un equipo de trabajo que pudiera producir y transmitir programas
locales. Actualmente estamos (estudiantes del Cunorte y yo) produciendo el
primer programa local… es un programa cultural que arrancó ayer, 6 de
octubre, con un programa dedicado a la Peregrinación de la Virgen del
Rosario a Santiago. Todavía no contamos con un servidor que nos permita
retransmitir desde colotlán vía Internet (para que nos puedas escuchar en
Carolina) sin embargo es una prioridades en esta etapa de arranque. Con
decirte que la estación esta incomunicada y todavía no cuenta con teléfono
pero estas cosas las iremos

Just a reminder that when you send a message to the list that has nothing to
do with the purpose of the list, it's nice to precede the subject line with
OT (off topic).

Secondly, I usually check everything I receive before I forward it to see
whether is may be a hoax. Most of them usually are. The information about
cell phone telemarketers is somewhat mixed:
