----------------------------Original message----------------------------

Kaixo,

        I just started reading Douglass and Bilbao's work Amerikanuak
and they mention the biltzar-the democratic assemblies of the Basques
before the fuedal period-and how, for example, John Adams was impressed
by what he saw when he visited Bizkaia.  I had heard of this before.
What I was wondering is whether anyone had any additional information
about this governmental system or how it specifically influenced the
founders of our own US government and constitution.  The book
references a work by L.J. Navascues, "John Adams y su viaje a Vizcaya
en 1779" in Eusko Jakintza, but I doubt I could get a copy of this
article in the US (although Reno might have it...).  Thanks in advance
for any and all help and information.
        Also, I'd like to thank all of the people that responded to my
message asking about tracing my family in Spain.  I received a large
number of replies, all of them very helpful, and should soon be able to
gather a large amount of information on my family.  Thanks to all.

                                                        Blas
