Dear Readers and Primos. .
To bring in the New Year we are excited to have in
place four new resources.
You will find reference them in this issue, but will
need to go directly to
the links for the following:
1) John Inclan Family Trees. John's has compiled
25 family trees, with
references and notes, the histories of many of the
core colonial families who
migrated from Spain to the Americas utlimately
settling in Mexico and throughout
the Southwest.

2) The complete text will soon be online from all of
the Hough's monumental
8-volume Spanish Patriots series, listing every
Spanish soldiers who fought
in support of the American Revolution. Steve
Hussey, who is converting the
text for easy online searches, plans to complete the
task by July 4th, 2005. We
are involved in mounting an event in Washington,
D.C. (see below) the focus of
one of the events will be the Hispanic contributions
during the American
Revolution. Currently, both volumes of California
and the Arizona study are
online at:

3) I have been asked by Sam Anthony, Producer of
Program Events at the
National Archives in Washington, D.C. to assist in
organizing a series of 6
Hispanic heritage events in D.C.. A webpage has
been set up to share the unfolding
of the plans. The webpage will be updated and
hopefully serve, in addition, as
a site to promote use of the National Archives in
Hispanic family research.
The site lists those serving as advisors, and the
focus of each event.

4) The Black Latino Connection After being made
aware of the fact that no
event had ever been presented in D.C. on the
historical connections between the
Black and Spanish speaking communities, I decided to
put a webpage online
with research on the topic.
In November 1995, SHHAR hosted a joint meeting with
the African-American
Genealogical Society of Los Angeles, enlarging on an
interest that I already had
on the subject. In 2000, I compiled the The Black
Latino Connection . The
Orange County's Black Chamber, and Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce published the
soft-bound booklet. The text of the book, plus
additional information form the
basis of this webpage. The Black Latino connection
needs to be explored for
understanding fully our Latino diversity.
Submissions are welcomed.
