Hello to everyone. What's going on with all this talk about menudo 
and nopales? I thought this was a genealogy group, not a cooking 
book................................I'm just kidding.

By the way, in Jalisco we also cook white menudo, not only the red 
one. The last messages brought my attention because menudo as well as 
pozole is closely related to my family history.

You see, my mom Margarita Tapia lives in Jalisco, Zacoalco de Torres, 
and she owns a restaurant where one of her specialties is menudo. 
Fonda Dona Mago, if you ever go to Zacoalco.

A generation back, her mom, my grandma Manuela Martinez, was also 
known because of the delicious menudo she made. Even today, some old 
folks refer to my mom's menudo as "el menudo de Manuela", even though 
she has been retired for more than a decade.

And this doesn't stop with my grandma, because her mother, my great-
grandmother Ambrosia Frias Aguilar, was also famous for her 
restaurant and especially for her pozole. A couple

Okay.  Here is something I have heard my parents discuss:
Do you add patas de puerco (pig's feet) or Patas de res (beef feet) to
your menudo.  They both agree that you don't mix meats.  
In their opinion, Que asco revolver carne de puerco con res!

Well, last Friday, I had menudo with pig's feet at my inlaws for
breakfast, and I have to agree with my folks.  The menudo was good,
but the broth was kinda dark and fatty.  
My folks are from Jalisco, and my mother-in-law's family was from
Jalisco too, so it mustn't be a regional thing?  
Must be a family thing?  
So the question of the day....  do you add pig or beef feet?  
I've made menudo, and I add neither if it's my choice.  
Don't like anyone's feet in my soup!

Here goes my vote.  

I'm in agreement with Maria.  I don't think that Joseph expects materpieces
from all of us, but he as probably all active contributing members would
appreciate something.  

At least our family trees should be protected in a separate file
inaccessable to non-contributing Members.  As Joseph says, start with your
grandparents, and work back as far as you can.  I have found information
very easily just knowing this.    My father was born in the early 1930s, and
I found his birth record, so it really is fairly easy.  The Microfilms have
so much info.  

Also, it isn't fair to those who have contributed their family trees.  Here
are our lives like open books for individuals who haven't done the same.

I think it should be stricter.  The intent of this board is clear.  
It is

I think it should be stricter.  The intent of this board is clear.  
It is meant for serious genealogists who are actively doing their 
own research. The messages are open to the public so that those who 
want to wait until they are ready to join can still read the 
messages posted without feeling pressured to become members.

Perdon. I'm one of the foot draggers you've just describe. My apologies and request that you keep me connected until I can manage things a little better. I read all that comes across, always looking for a connection, so this exercise is not anyones waste of time. I want to fully describe what I have so far but may not be free to do so until after the holidays. I hope that's OK?/Adelante

Did you get an email with the subject "Ranchos2 Maintenance (2)"? some
did
some didn't. We have 59 members in the Ranchos group But 72 members of
the original Ranchos group.  that means that 13 of you all are not
benefitting from membership to the Ranchos2 group and all the
information in the "Files" area of that group. 



So if you didn't get that

Hi,

I'm trying to put your email address on your file, but I can't seem to
find your email address. Can you email me privately with your email address.

thanks,
