All the Colotlan and nearby area researchers of this group. Help me come 
up with some interview questions for these Historiadores.

what do you want to know?

1. What is the mining history of Colotlan?
2. Were the inhabitants of Colotlan and nearby areas migratory in nature, looking for the 
best jobs they could?
3. Did the Native American Indians of Colotlan survive? Are they still there?
4. Is it true the haciendas turned over every three generations?
5. What percent of the population in the 1700's and 1800's actually lived in the "city", like 
Colotlan vis-á-vis on the small ranches/haciendas?
6. How did Colotlan compare in the 1700's and 1800's to the major cities of Guadalajuara 
and Mexico City?
7. Who were the important figures in Colotlan history, both Spanish and Native

in charge of the Church ( Templo San Jose) in Teocaltiche, Jal.  But my
guess is that he was either a son or a brother of my  ggggg
granfather.  I'll probably find out later.  I am related to Santo
Toribio Romo. Third cousin, once removed.  Have you ever heard of this
Saint?  Santo Toribio Romo was from Santa Ana, Jalisco, just outside of
Jalos.  They have just placed some of his relics in the new (remodeled)
Cathedral in Sacramento!   He is the patron saint of the immigrants.

 

By the way...Last week I was able to trace
my ancestry all the way back to about 1550 !!!

Suave! 1550. . .wow. give us the details. You don't have to tell every
little detail but some of them would be great. Maybe some could pick up
some points in doing their own genealogy research.



. . .and just a thought. I don't believe that you can say you have hit
a wall until you have thoroughly examined all those records you

Hi Joseph,

    What would these funds be used
for.  I'm not real clear on this...

Well the support committee would be making the final decision on that.
But my reason for suggesting the funds creation was to have small
stipends available to send to members of the Ranchos group that found
themselves in need. And for causes that would directly benefit the
purpose of the Ranchos group. We would all be able to submit
suggestions for the use of the funds but the committee would make the
final decision on the distribution.

For now we are over a hundred members strong.  I would like to run

I was thinking if a
few of us sent in a few buck we might be able to have $100 stipends available to
send off to members that are in need or for projects that are supportive of the
Ranchos Group. This effort would need a volunteer "use" committee which would
have at least 3 members (no ties) and one of those would be a treasurer to hold
the funds. Before the "use" committee would decide on a "use" they would bring
up the use for group discussion. but after the discussion the decision for the
use would be made by
