Kim, I see that you were looking for any Borondas in Jerez, Zacatecas. Have you seen the one listed in the FamilySearch.com IGI? Her name is Maria Josefa de la Santisima Trinidad Voronda, and she was baptized in Jerez on May 9, 1784. There is no father listed for her, only a mother by the name of Maria Jasinta Voronda. The film # is 0439846. The only other Vorondas listed in the IGI were two that were baptized in Santiago, Bilbao, Vizcaya (Spain) in the 1500's. I find that this name is usually spelled Borunda in Mexico. The records of the Spanish Archives for passengers to the new world show only one person by that name, Gonzalo Borunda, who came to the Dominican Republic in the 1500s.

As we make the transition to the
|
as in the words of our new webmaster:
"we need people to play around with the site and give some feedback and
let us know if there are any problems with the way it functions."
go on there and just upload some files and then delete them and make a
folder and then delete it. Let's make sure the site works good.
have a look at: http://NuestrosRanchos.com
let us know what you think. No rush but eventually say by the end of
Spring or so I hope to be fully moved over to the new site and
completely off the Yahoo group. Yeah I know that new things are always a
pain to get used to but believe me this is for our good.
And yes there is a certain amount of flexibility in the functionality of
the group. I can't say how soon but if your suggestion is a good one and
can be done with a reasonalble amount of time invested we can consider
your ideas.
so look around and let us know what you think and if you have some ideas
or comments.

Yolanda, As Arturo says, the versions are currently not the same. Sometimes you are not allowed to open a later version file in an earlier version program. If you run into this problem...this is what I do. Create an export file and then open it up in the PAF 4.0 program creating a PAF 4.0 file. I usaually name this new file differently and make it read-only so that I only make updates in my original file. I usually run reports for my parents in Spanish. I think they come out nicely. - Angie --- In ranchos@yahoogroups.com, Arturo Ramoswrote: > > 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

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?
Not birth records* (they would be civil records and not for that far
back), but you can find baptism records, marriage records, death records
and some misc. others going back into the 1700's depending on the
specific area you are researching. some of the areas are poorly recorded
while others have magnificient records going back to the early 1700's
and even farther back.
*well in a sense they were birth records in that they usually listed
when the child was born "de tres dias nacido OR .nacido el veinte dos
del mes corriente." So these baptism records listed the date of the
baptism and gave the day the child was born (usually).
