Cause for Celebration!

Today I found someone I have been looking for for a long time! Richard's step-dad's great grandmother's parents!! I have searched and searched and was amazed when I did a search to day on ancestors.com and there she was on an 1850 California census; line 10 is Adelaida, with her parents; Jose Maria Ramirez and Dolores Palomares (I found her last name later on new.familysearch.com)! So here's Adelaida with her 5 sisters and 2 brothers! I'm curious about why she didn't show up sooner. Maybe someone's indexing helped me out here. I have been pretty lax in the indexing for others lately. I bought a book called "Spanish-Mexican Families of Early California:1769-1850, Vol. 1" and have been indexing everyone from it that is related to our family line and a few that could be related. Anyway, I've found a bunch of slightly related people there, but finding Adelaida was much more rewarding for some reason. Thanks to whoever indexed that Census and so I could finally find her!!
Now to find her son's wife's family! Josephine Martinez you're next!

    So wonderful! Yesterday Rob and I did sealings again and the name of 'Mary Ann Ellis' came up as a daughter. She was born in Ohio in 1842. I wonder?

    We've run into a Mary Ellis in Ed's line, too. I'll have to check if she was from that area.
