My Dream/Mi Sueño

Hello, Back in 2002 my wife, Figen and I were involved in a serious car accident in which a drunk driver crashed into us. We survived but I was out of work for about 6 months and during that time I googled "Puentes" Hello, Back in 2002 my wife, Figen and I were involved in a serious car accident in which a drunk driver crashed into us. We survived but I was out of work for about 6 months and during that time I googled "Puentes" and found a message from someone looking for information about my father and uncles. It turned out to be a cousin who was doing genealogy and that started me on this trip of doing my families genealogical research. I knew that I didn't know anything about genealogy and even less on how to do Mexican Genealogy so I decided to surround myself with others that were doing research in my geographical area: Jalisco and Zacatecas. So in 2002 I started the Yahoo group: Ranchos which was only for Jalisco and Zacatecas but later Aguascalientes was added. With the help of many volunteers the group has become what it is today but the groups existence would probably be in doubt if it hadn't been for the tremendous amount of work that Arturo Ramos has put in by building and maintaining our beautiful website. If anyone in the group should be remembered with an overnight express package of frozen tamales or something it should be Arturo. Thank you Arturo. [Detrás en 2002 mi esposa, Figen y yo estuvieron implicados en un accidente de tráfico serio en el cual un conductor borracho se estrelló en nosotros. Sobrevivimos pero estaba sin trabajo por cerca de 6 meses y durante ese tiempo googled el " Puentes" y encontrado un mensaje alguien que busca la información sobre mi padre y tíos. Resultó ser un primo que hacía la genealogía y ésa me comenzó en este viaje de hacer mi investigación genealógica de las familias. Sabía que no sabia cualquier cosa sobre la genealogía e incluso menos en cómo hacer la genealogía mexicana así que decidía rodearme con otros que hacían la investigación en mi área geográfica: Jalisco y Zacatecas. Tan en 2002 comencé el grupo de Yahoo: Los ranchos que estaba solamente para Jalisco y Zacatecas pero Aguascalientes posterior fueron agregados. Con la ayuda de muchos voluntarios el grupo se ha convertido en cuáles es hoy pero la existencia de los grupos sería probablemente en duda si él estado para la cantidad enorme de trabajo que Arturo Ramos ha introducido construyendo y manteniendo nuestro Web site hermoso. Si cualquier persona en el grupo se recuerda con un paquete expreso de noche de tamales congelados o algo debe ser Arturo. Gracias Arturo.] Anyway back to my dream. Yes I started the group as a selfish desire but knew that it would also be a place where those that knew even less than I could be helped as well. I'm happy, very happy that over the years many members have been able to advance their genealogies with help of the members of the group. Well this is where I want to make my point. Right now there are well over 300 members of the group but there is only a core group of 30-50 that are consistently active in the discussion groups. My communication is mainly directed to the rest of the group that is not active. I know very well that many of you have gained benefit from members of this group but have we received anything from you? You would know the answer to this question. I personally am maxed out and don't see myself getting more active in the group than trying to keep things balanced behind the scenes and making sure things stay within the norms established. But for those that have received much from the group but given little I'm making a request of you. [De todas formas de nuevo a mi sueño. Comencé al grupo como deseo egoísta pero sabía sí que también sería un lugar en donde los que sabían incluso menos que yo se podrían ayudar también. Estoy feliz, muy feliz que durante los años muchos miembros han podido avanzar sus genealogías con la ayuda de los miembros del grupo. Mana esto es donde quiero hacer mi punto. Ahora hay bien sobre 300 miembros del grupo pero hay solamente un grupo central de 30-50 que sean constantemente activos en los grupos de discusión. Mi comunicación se dirige principalmente al resto del grupo que no es activo. ¿Sé muy bien que muchos de usted han ganado la ventaja de miembros de este grupo pero nos tengo recibí cualquier cosa de usted? Usted sabría la respuesta a esta pregunta. Soy así que ocupado no me veo el conseguir más activo en el grupo con excepción de cuáles soy ya en el grupo que el intentar mantener cosas balanceadas detrás de las escenas y cerciorarse de cosas permanecen dentro de las normas establecidas. Pero para los que han recibido mucho del grupo pero han dado poco estoy haciendo una petición de usted.] I would propose that 2009 be the year of instruction. A year where the many teach the many rather than the what is currently happening and the few teach the many. There are hundreds of things that can be taught. I would ask that ...

Hola Blanca,

Si hablo el espanol pero se me hase mas facil comunicarme en ingles.

Very interesting that your grand fathers are also from Juchitlan. There has to be a connection so lets look into this further. I don’t have anything on computor, my info is all on paper but I really would like to dive into my geneology now.

Have you ever been to Juchitlan? We should exchange phone numbers so we can talk. What city do you live in now?
