America's "birth certificate"

Features: |

At a cost of $10 million, the Library of Congress is buying the first map to use the name America. The, map printed in 1507, is the first world map in which the name "America" appears for the lands of the New World. Historians say the 494-year-old map caused the hemisphere to be named for explorer Amerigo Vespucci instead of Columbus. |
| The
compiler of the map, Martin Waldseemüller (1474-1519), was a
German-born priest and accomplished cartographer. He also produced
a 1516 map, the "Carta Marina". The "Carta
Marina" is the first map derived from secret nautical charts
showing the discoveries of Portuguese and Spanish seafarers.
Portuguese and Spanish explorers never published their early maps of
discovery. Sources: Dr. John R. Hébert, Library of Congress, Map Division. Orange County Register, 7-21-01 |

Ancient man
harms today's seas Study shows that ancient man began a plunder of the seas as much as 10,000 years ago. Based on the combined research of 19 scientists, many incidents of environmental damage are being traced to the destruction of key species, such the sea turtles in the Caribbean, sea cows off the coast of Australia and sea otters near Alaska. The algae now choking and killing many coral reefs in the Caribbean can be traced to the slaughter more than 3,000 years ago of the green sea turtle and to other animals that grazed on the sea plant. Another example cited is the loss of vast kelp forests that once grew thickly offshore along North America. Over harvesting of the sea otter led to a huge population of sea urchins that grazes away the kelp forests, causing a steep decline in fish populations. Orange County Register, 7-27-01 |

Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico http://www.nmgs.org and click on "Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico." http://www.interment.net/data/us/co/denver/logan/index.htm These Catholic Church records are among the most complete and most thorough available. the database tells where to find the records; it does not contain the actual records. The database shows the diocese and county boundaries, with addresses and contact information for each district. A clickable map brings up all the churches and missions in each county, with a list of the microfilm roll or reel numbers. A list of towns and cities refers you to the right county. In New Mexico, two main factors create a challenge for researchers: 1. New Mexico's Catholic churches are governed by three entities: the Santa Fe Archdiocese, the Gallup Diocese, and the Las Cruces Diocese. Their records are all kept separately. In the Las Cruces Diocese most records are in the individual parishes. Some, but not all, have been microfilmed. [Where to look?] 2. Records are being microfilmed by three different groups: the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Diocese of Gallup.

The Rio
Grande The river that forms the border between Texas and Mexico, no longer flow into the Gulf of Mexico, due mainly to drought, choking river weeds and the drawing of water. The river ends in a placid pool on the Mexican side, shallow enough for fisherman to walk around in it. Old photos show a river deep enough and wide enough at its mouth for oceangoing ships. At Brownsville, about 10 miles from the Gulf, the water was about 100 feet across decades ago. Now it is down to maybe 15 or 20 feet across. For several days in May, water released from the Falcon Dam just south of Laredo did not reach Matamoros, Mexico, the last city to receive Rio Grand water, causing at least 100,000 city taps to run dry.

Oscar Medina, who was fired after
refusing to sign an English-only contract, eventually shared in a
$192,000 settlement from Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. in Batavia,
Ill. "It was easier to use Spanish. We'd do a better
job if we spoke in Spanish because the person in charge of the line
spoke Spanish. "We just used English to speak with the
boss."
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission started tracking language
complaints in 1996. There were 91 charge filings. That
number rose to 443 last year. The EEOC will pursue any blanket policy -
requiring only English even during breaks and personal time - as
national origin discrimination. 7-9-01 |

AZTEC MEDICINE Editor's note: I found this a fascinating site. Aztec medicine in many aspects was more advanced than European medicine at the same time period. A study of 50 pages, a bibliography is included and a full index. Individual Gods are identified as to illness and attitude. http://phoenix1001.homestead.com/files/A-med.htm Sent by Johanna de Soto |

Since 1996, cirrhosis has been the fourth, fifth,
or sixth-leading cause of death in Méxicali. The disease causes a serious impact on the population, primarily affecting the working population between the ages of 18 and 29. Few people seek medical attention for the disease. So far this year cirrhosis has claimed the lives of 32 Méxicali residents and only 15 people have sought treatment for the disease.

PATRIOTS
OF YUCATAN PENINSULA by Granville W. and N. C. Hough gwhough@earthlink.net Some Patriots of the Yucatàn Peninsula, Mexico, who served in Spain’s 1779-1783 War with England – During the American Revolution - are found in Legajos 7296 and 7297, LDS Film Roll 1156357, which includes service for each soldier up to 1785, or 1788, or later, years the soldiers were stationed in Yucatàn. The sequence of information for each soldier shown below is name, year of birth, place of birth, marital status when the record was made, wartime service, position when record was made, and Legajo number, section and page. In Legajo 7289, only the officers and key personnel are shown, giving records for about ten percent of those who actually served in the units. It is known that Campeche, Yucatàn, was a port which served as a refuge for ships from the second Expedition to Pensacola (which was stopped and scattered by a hurricane). Later, in the third Expedition to Pensacola, many soldiers and volunteers from Yucatàn joined the forces under Governor Gálvez. Volunteers from Yucatàn were in the 15 Sep 1779 capture of the British center for Yucatan and Honduras logging at St Georges Cay (Cayo Cocina). When the British captured the port and fort at San Fernando de Omoa in Honduras on 10 Oct 1779, Yucatàn soldiers were in the 1780 expeditions to recapture it. They also took part in expeditions to the Rios Nuebo, Waliss (Belize), and Schebum, which were probably to establish boundaries to the British logging operations on the eastern coast of the Peninsula (present day Quintaro Roo and Belize). It is probable that any descendant of these soldiers would be accepted into the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution. (The present King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, and his son, the Crown Prince of Asturias, are already members, based on their descent from King Carlos III, the wartime King of Spain. As they have been accepted, it seems logical that descendants of others who were in service to fight the English will also be accepted.) Francisco Abreu y Borjes (1739 Campeche - ), married.

Comments: The above is incomplete because we could not read parts of or all of a few entries. The abbreviation of SubLt is for the Spanish rank of Alférez. The rank of Sergeant Major in the Spanish Army was a commissioned officer equivalent to an American Executive Officer. The regular army Spanish units were listed as Fijo Infantry (or Cavalry), equivalent to Infantry or Cavalry Garrison. The trained militia units were listed as Milicia Disciplinado Infanteria (or Caballeria) which we abbreviated to Mil Discip Inf (or Cav). Some regular army officers were also assigned to the militia. Request: One article was not available to us through interlibrary loan, and it may have names of other soldiers and the units which took part in the Pensacola Campaign. We would be very pleased if some reader can provide us with a copy of the article by Jorge Inacio Rubio Mañé, “Las Tropas de Campecha en la toma de Penzacola,” Revista de Historia Yucateca, vol 13 (1973):156-159.

Elmer Henderson, whose case before the Supreme Court ended segregation in
Railway dining cars in 1950, has died. He was 88 years old.
The railroad at the time allotted 10 tables for white travelers and one
for black travelers and separated the races with a curtain. Henderson had
been denied service in 1942 while traveling between Washington, D.C., and
Birmingham, Alabama as a field representative for the wartime President's
Committee on Fair Employment Practices.
Segregation had been legal for much of the country's history in
schools, restaurants, theaters and other public places. Henderson's
attorneys asked the court to strike down the ruling in the Plessy vs.
Ferguson case that in 1896 had established the principle of separate but
equal facilities. |

Before the American Revolution, by Denis Mueller » Between 1764 and 1769 there were 150 different riots in the thirteen colonies. Tenants wielded axes against their landlords while poor people burnt down theaters protesting the rule of the elite. They were not protesting against the king but expressing their rage with the conditions and laws that existed at the time. To those in power who were accustomed to European hierarchical societies it was very scary. The old ways were beginning to crumble and life would never be the same in the New World. One of these men who were taking things into their own hands was Ethan Allen. Allen settled in the Green Mountains of what we now call Vermont. Once, when taken to court, he exposed himself and then threatened to spill the blood of anyone who opposed him. Many people like Allen had settled in the area after fighting the French-Indian wars. Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire promised them land for their efforts.The problem was that the land given to farmers was claimed bythe state of New York as well. This led to conflicts. Allen was taken before a court in New York where the judge was a competing landowner and the trial was a forgone conclusion. They ruled against Allen but he warned the court, landowners and the corrupt judge that repercussions would follow. They quickly disappeared back to Albany. The Green Mountain boys took over and ruled the countryside. They burned the houses of anyone that owned New York leases and threatened the safety of all that opposed them. The upper classes of New York may have rigged the legal system but they did not control the land. Allen carefully built his image and then used the threat of violence to scare off his enemies. Once he locked two New York sheriffs up in different rooms and made them think he had just hanged the other. When released the sheriffs ran back to New York only to find they had been made fools of, and Allen's unsavory reputation was only increased by the incident. While the Green Mountain boys were fighting New York's authorities, a revolution was breaking out in New England. The boys of Vermont could relate to the uprisings in Boston. Both were fighting against distant rulers who sought to control their lives. They were both fighting for liberty so when fighting broke out, an alliance was made. The Green Mountain boys controlled the West side of the mountains and were happy to fight against the British. While many history books speak of leaders such as Washington, Jefferson and Adams, people who became radicalized through their own action, like Allen, really won the American Revolution. They rebelled because of conditions not because of the advice of leaders. When we look at disturbances throughout the world, we would do well to remember our own revolution.
