Hi Joseph,

Not genealogical societies in the strict sense, but I understand that most of the cronistas locales or "town chroniclers" have an national association of their own that includes all of México.

Last summer I made a trip with a brother to Totatiche and Villa Guerrero, Jalisco, and we met Don Esteban Valdez, the chronicler of Totatiche.  He has a very good Valdez genealogy book and I understand he's currently working on a new book that will include other local surnames.  He also mentioned something about this chronicler association, in fact he said that one of her sisters was also a chronicler but in a nearby town, not sure if he said Colotlán.

Anyway, I'm going to try to write Don Esteban a few lines and ask him if he knows about genealogical societies in Jalisco and nearby states.

I don't have an exact answer to your question, but I think the reason 
is that familysearch.com is sometimes incomplete.

This has happened to be on serveral occassions where I have a record 
but it doesn't list a source batch no. or film no.  But then I look 
at it a couple of months later and it has a source.  Or it has a 
source and I print it out and then a couple of months later I look at 
it again and it is slightly different.  So I print that version out 
too.

Also, sometimes there is a differences between IGI and VRI.  That 
same record looks slighty different in VRI.  Here it is:

Maria Maccedonia     
  Sex: F

Event(s):     
 Christening: 08 Aug 1787  Place: Tepechitlan, Zacatecas, Mexico

Guillermo,

Take a look at one of these charts to see what "cousin once removed 
means"?

http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/cousins.htm
http://www.heirsearch.com/table.htm
http://stellar-one.com/genealogy/cousins.htm

The charts all basically show the same thing...

        In a recent conversation, an adult relative of my husband (the son
of my husband's cousin brother -- his first cousin, once removed in English)
informed me that my husband was his tío.  I wasn't about to argue, but I
don't think he is correct.  However, I do not know the terminology for
Spanish genealogical relationships.

        Is there a publication that has it all laid out?  If it has already
been discussed and is in the archives, I apologize for the query, and I'll
look it up.

        In English, each succeeding generation is a new level of cousin -- 
as long as both lines are represented, yours and your relative's.  If you
reach the end of one line, the level of kinship (cousinship) stays the
same,
but the generation moves until the end of the other line is reached.  (I
know -- that was

I just submitted my privatized .gedcom to the www.familysearch.org
site as a Pedigree Resource File submission. Has anyone on the list
done this before? So how does this work? Does every single name in the
.gedcom get put in so that the search engine will pull it up by surname?

just as an example here is some of their listings:

6. Angela Castreje Diaz - Pedigree Resource File
Gender: F Birth/Christening: Argentina
7. Ana Jova Diaz - Pedigree Resource File
Gender: F Birth/Christening: 17 Sep 1923 Bustinza, Pcia.Santa Fe,
Argentina
8. Antonia DÍAZ - Pedigree Resource File
Gender: F Birth/Christening: Argentina

how is it that the brief info following the name comes into the search
engine results? Is it that the search engine picks out the exact
wording in the .gedcom including the place of birth and puts it into
the
results? . . .as in the above example?

thanks,

joseph

Being born and raised in Mexico I can tell you what I
know. I hope it is simple to understand. Any cousin of
your parents, regardless of the level (1st, 2nd, etc)
represents yout tio or tia (uncle or aunt). There is
no limit as far as I know. 

Also, can anybody now explain to a mexican person what
a "cousin once removed means"?

Guillermo.

The term "politico(a)" in spanish is equivalent to the
term "in-law" in english.

thanks much to Steven Hernandez for explaining and supplying the link to the above page. I noticed on my end
that there seemed to be a problem so you might need to use the above link and click on Parentesco to access
the material. I'm putting a link to this page in the links page.

thanks Steven,

Is anyone aware of Genealogy and/or Social Societies in Mexico? In
particular for the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and
Chihuahua?

I was working yesterday as a volunteer at my local Family History Center
when a kindred spirit came in to work his genealogy. He was telling me
how he contacts different social organizations in his mother country and
they are very helpful in suggesting local sources of information.

Now I don't know about you but I couldn't believe how such a simple idea
has somehow slipped by me. So now I'm hot on the trail of contacting
whatever genealogical or social organizations I can find in the larger
towns I'm searching for relatives/information.

So does anyone know of organization in Mexico that might be equivilent
to some of the church or social organizations here? Maybe the Knights of
Columbus or ???

thanks,

Joseph

ps: for starts I would just like to have a current phone book for those
towns. If I had a phone book then I could
