Articles and Books by Richard G. Santos That You Should Read

Moises Garza | March 20, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Last month Alfredo Gutierrez made me aware of the passing of Richard G. Santos. Unfortunately I had never heard about Mr. Santos until I received that email from Alfredo. I quickly made a Google search and read more about Mr. Santos. Now I wish I would have had heard about him earlier and to have had an opportunity to exchange emails.  His articles are excellent and I thought that you should read them. Since I know you will find them very informative and his articles will bring the times that our ancestors lived into context. The following are just a few articles out of thousands that he wrote and a few books of the 37 that he wrote.

Some Articles by Richard G. Santos:

The following are some books that he wrote:

I highly recommend that you do a Google search to read more about Mr. Santos and also find more of his articles to read.

Families of Salinas Victoria, Nuevo Leon, Mexico Volume Two

Moises Garza | February 27, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that Crispin Rendon has already released his second book on The Families of Salinas Victoria. I strongly recommend you download it and add it to your Genealogy library and preferred reader.

Here is the email that he sent me yesterday:

This email is going out to the 469 people in my genealogy address book.

There is no reason to respond.

Below find a link to another book I have posted on the web.

Families of Salinas Victoria, Nuevo Leon, Mexico Volume Two

http://home.earthlink.net/~nemexfh/sv2.pdf

You may notice the surnames Bermeo and Bermea.

I am sure it is the same family surname but have not decided to merge them.

I am leaning toward changing all of the Bermea to Bermeo.

Best Regards,

Crispin Rendon

As always thanks Mr. Rendon for another great Resource.

Camargo Baptismal Records Index 1764 – 1882

Moises Garza | February 23, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Camargo Baptismal Records 1764 - 1882The book “Camargo Baptismal Records Index 1764 – 1882″ Extracted by Alma Cruz and Debbie Gomez is a great resource to those of us researching our ancestors in the Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico area.

As it is stated in the book it is only an index to the typed extracted records in the Camargo and Reynosa Archives. Which seems to provide a clue as to where to obtain the extraction of any given record listed in the book.

It lists the names by last name, then name, year, then mother, followed by father. Unfortunatly they did not provide the complete date of the baptism.

As it may it is stilla great resource that will invevitably help you in your research.

How to obtain it:

You can borrow it from the University of Texas Pan American.

You can search for acopy near you with WorldCat.

As indicated in the book you can order by making check payable to Debbie Gomez 2022 Allen Genoa Rd. Houston Texas 77017 but no amount was provided.

“Archivos Parroquiales de Nuetra Senora de Guadalupe Reynosa, Tmaulipas, Mexico Matrimonios Vol. 2 1790 -1811 ”

I know that I have already spoken of this book but I thought and I write a post about it, for those that are actively researching Reynosa records for their ancestors. This small about 30 page book has been invaluable in researching my wife’s family. Thanks to it I have found copies of original documents.

This book is available for viewing at the University of Texas Pan American and for those interested in buying it it is also available for purchase from the author through Border Lands Book Store item# 717.

Once you find your ancestors within he pages of this book I recommend you head over to my previous post; Online Digital Images of Reynosa Church Marriages from 1790 to 1810, Hosted by UTPA there you will find the link to the online images used to create the this book.

Finally, if you want more information about Reynosa Records you might want to check out another of my posts; Where to Locate Baptism, Marriage, and Death Church Records for Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

I hope that you find this book as useful as I have in my research.
