I will be heading down to Mexico again in a week. I will be there for a whole week, but a large part of it will be consumed with wedding details of a close cousin of mine.
However, if there is something that someone wants for me to take down or bring back that will not be too cumbersome or troublesome I would be more than glad to oblige. I will be in Guadalajara and my grandparents' town of Villa Guerrero, Jalisco which is very close to Tlaltenango, Zacatecas.
Arturo
Have a great time....wish I were going! Be careful!

Hola Arturo, Thank you for the offer. Let us know how the trip goes. Since my research has yielded nothing on my family, I'm thinking about going down to Zacatecas and Aguascalientes next summer. Due to the reported incidents in Mexico, friends and family don't think it's such a good idea. Be safe and have a great trip. AliceBBlake

Alice,
When I read email, I dont get it. Mexico is not Baghdad. Unless I misunderstand your concern for Arturo. Certainly there is issues in Oaxaca, but there is also issues in all of our American cities - with gang violence, road rage, poverty and mindless acts of violence (little girls assasinated in the quiet schoolhouse of the Quaker country).
One may say, the political upheaval in Oaxaca or the scuffles due to political passion in the Mexican congress is grave, but I say, these are localized conflicts motivated by politcal zeal. Mexico is full of very nice, hardworking, educated people, cultured, generous, hosptitable and safe people.
I am going to Zacatecas and Jalisco in January. I am not fearful, frightened or worried about my safety or that of all my family who lives in Mexico or who travel back and forth. I was just in Ensenada, where I introduced friends of mine to fine wineries and gourmet restauratns.
Gringolandia is not the only safe or

The bulletin listed below was issued by the US Department of State. I, for one, do not plan on giving up my travels to see this beautiful country, and its peoples.
Safety
General information on personal safety abroad can be found in our brochure, A Safe Trip Abroad, on our home page at http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1747.html.
Avoid demonstrations and other activities that might be deemed political by the Mexican authorities. The Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detention and/or deportation.
Exercise caution in traveling to the southern state of Chiapas. Armed rebels and armed civilian groups are present in some areas of the state, and there is often no effective law enforcement or police protection. Violent criminal gang activity along the States southern border mostly aimed at illegal migrants continues to be a concern. U.S. citizens traveling to

Hello! Thank you for you offer, I need nothing. But jus in case, about a year ago I needed certain birth certificate, been in Guadalajara I placed my order but was told it wasn´t still digitalized so that I had to go in the municipio it belonged. So I couldn´t get it, I had a ticket for a plane to take me back later the same day. Took a taxi cab and told such story to the driver. He said he knew a lot of cases of that nature and advised me about "El Chato" who is a man that works in the Registro Civil, the offices located in La Normal zone in Guadalajara, Jal., he is in charge of maintenance, wears a blue, long shirt, and for a nice and reasonable tip can get a copy of any record. Hope he is there nowadays.

Sr. Arturo:
Mi nombre es Fernando Pérez y estoy investigando sobre los apellidos de mi familia, es probable que yo también haga el viaje a Jalisco, pero a un pueblo que se llama Cuquio, nunca he estado en la presidencia municipal de el pueblito de mis abuelos, y no se como se manejen las cosas para consultar o pedir copias de los documentos como actas de nacimiento o de matrimonio, ¿Me podría dar algunos consejos para que en caso de que esté por aquel lugar pueda accesar a los mencionados documentos?.
De antemano le agradezco su ayuda.
Leticia:
Ayer estuve en el Family History Center, y ya ordené unos films, pero me dí cuenta que que solamente tienen información de una de las iglesias del pueblo y falta información de la otra, por lo que la persona que está ahí asesorando me aconsejó que buscara en la Diócesis a la que pertenecia en este tiempo las iglesias de Cuquío, así que ahora estoy investigando a ver como estaba la organizada la estructura de la iglesia en Jalisco entre los

Hola! El registro civil en México comenzó en 1800, si mal no sé; en tu buscador de la web escribe cuquio, jalisco y tal vez se abra una página con la historia de Cuquío, tal vez indique la pertenencia de Cuquío por épocas. Suerte. Así descubrí que Jesús Maria, Jalisco, por ejemplo pertenecía a Ayotlan en el siglo XVIII, cuando en ciertos años no encontré registros se me ocurrió buscar de la forma que te digo y escribí en mi buscador jesus maria, jalisco y ahí estaba la historia.
