I have been a group member for a couple of years and have enjoyed the
discussion on a number of topics. While I consider myself to be an active
genealogist, I have been limited (with some exceptions) to exploring the
areas of Tamazula de Gordiano and Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco. These Jalisco
connections are my father's side. The other long strand of family comes
from Sinaloa. That work is much like the work of Jalisco--mostly church
records of baptisms and marriages.
My sense is that opening up to the other two states, Colima and Nayarit,
will not produce great numbers of people because most 20th century
immigration to the U.S. has come from the areas of Jalisco, Zacatecas,
Michoacan, Guanajuato, Sonora and other northern states. The coastal
communities of Sinaloa, Colima and Nayarit do not have as many descendants
as the other areas.
The organizers of the site should have the greatest say in this as they do
the bulk of the work. They are the ones who will feel any new work load.
For me, I read the subject matters and decide whether I will follow the
thread of the message or topic. It may be I do not use the site the way it
was intended and I am unaware of the gold that lies beneath the surface.

Opening up the group to Colima and Nayarit descendants
I agree with this.
