Dear Joseph, I don't know if you recall that I had requested to be removed
from the email list. I have limited access to a computer because of where
I live (in the boonies) so when I can check msgs, the mailbox is loaded.
It is too much for me to deal with at this time. Later, when my situation
changes, I'll recontact you. Thank you and I look forward to reconnecting
with this group later.

thanks Mike for your words and encouragement. There is a lot of
information available for those that seek. . .my meaning is that if you
just joined the list you should consider sending in your Introduction.
Send in your questions and comments, in other words get involved. There
have been many new people join the group in the last few weeks but only
a small percent of you have sent in your introductions. You will only
get something out of this group if you put something into it. We as a
group are here to help you get started. Once you have a "start" you need
to take the bull by the horns and work your own research. In time you
can join the group that shares what they have learned to help others get
their start. We should constantly be nurturing new people to later help
nuture the next wave of new members.

and Mike that excitement you have is what many of us still have when we
discover a new relative. I describe it as my heart doing a back flip!

great going and hope you make many other discoveries!

encouragement of Alicia Carillo. My Post was in reference to my mother,
Maria de Jesus Bravo & Gparents Ladislao Bravo & Maria Tinoco from La
Ribera Jalisco. Separately & without mention in my post, I have also been
searching (about 2 years) 4 info on my paternal gparents, Bernardino Lopez
& Donaciana Gutierres from Guanajuato. Last evening I received an email
from Erlinda (Linda in BC) providing me listings for them! Yes, that's
excitement you detect in my e-voice! I just wanted to publicly thank
Nuestros Ranchos, Alicia and of course, Linda in BC!
