Yolanda:

I don't really know why, but PAF is available in Spanish in only Version 4.0.4, whereas the latest version is 5.2.18.  I have not used the 4.0.4 so I am not sure what charting and reporting capabilities there are, but I know that there are a few members that use both the English and Spanish language version much in the way that you are envisioning.

As far as conversion, I don't think you really need to worry about it.  You can just open up the PAF file that you have created in the English Version of the software in the Spanish Version.

First of all THANKS  to all who responded to my question about using 
DE in a surname...  I'm sure other members new to genealogy as well as 
those more seasoned in this "obsession" continue to learn from other 
members. KUDOS.. TO THOSE WHO TAKE THE TIME AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO 
SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES.   
 I recently attended a genealogy meeting where they mentioned that 
there was a PAF program in Spanish and I was wondering if I could 
convert my Paf/english to PAF/spanish. If this were possible it would 
make it possible to give family reports to our family members that do 
not read English. Is this possible or am I dreaming???

found any link to mine yet, but one day I may.

Thank you so much for this information.  I am not quite
clear on one thing -- the Catholic churches *should* have
birth records from the 1700's?  In most countries with
which I have experience, even after civil registry, the
church kept records.  Is this true in Mexico?

Okay the new "Nuestros Ranchos" website is ready for Beta Testing and we're looking for a few volunteers Our resident webmaster guru extraordinaire, Arturo Ramos has put forth a tremendous amount of work in getting the website designed and built. He truly is a one man show and I'm sure you will like and appreciate his hard work that will benefit the long term existence of the Ranchos group. Without this effort I truly believe the Ranchos group would have dissolved in a few years, but now I see the possibility that the children of some of the members might be able to take the reigns one day. here is the website's URL: http://NuestrosRanchos.com Have a look around and if you would like to volunteer to test the site, please follow the instructions that are posted on the website.  [NOTE: this group is meant to eventually be a replacement for the Yahoo Groups Ranchos/Ranchos2. having said that I understand that any time you introduce something new there needs to be a certain amount of

For anybody who would like to donate, please send the money to my 
attention.  If you would like to send a personal check, please send it 
my name, and I will have my father deliver it in cash or a single 
combined money order.  There are no banks in Totatiche and therefore 
dealing in personal checks can be troublesome.  I will of course obtain 
a receipt for your donation.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this, please obtain a postal money 
order in the name of Esteban Valdes Salazar, as some of the shops in 
town exchange money orders.

I'll be glad to send a donation as well. Marge Vallazza:)

He has transcribed a whole series of early land titles and is the only historian who has seen the old Fransican convent records from Colotlan from the 1600s.  He is helping Samuel Sanchez get those filmed as we speak.
