Thank you for that Rocky. I have to admit when I saw rover's initial response to you I found it somewhat revealing and was not going to post any of the other info I have about Gaspar Hernandez. However, he has redeemed him/herself by apologising so I am somewhat more motivated to start again.

Yes the amount showing up in English on Gaspar Hernandez is limited so I searched in Spanish & there is a lot. The best source which I found is (unsurprisingly) the Dominican Academy of History
Academia Dominicana de la Historia
particularly the archives which you can search through to your heart's content. You can also write to them for information
info@academiahistoria.org.do

You will need to apply an online translation if you don't read Spanish but here is a fascinating article: El padre Gaspar Hernández Morales, M. I. (1798-1858) y su verdadero aporte al movimiento independentista by José Luis Sáez Ramo
http://clio.academiahistoria.org.do/...tema9-jlsr.pdf

Another good article to look up is also in the archives. Enrique D. Tovar R. Un obstinado realista. Rasgos biográficos del clérigo limeño Gaspar Hernández”, Clío Año XI, Nos. 65-67, Santo Domingo, septiembre-diciembre de 1944, pp.
143-172.

Both of these highlight the contribution to the DR's political thinking & development made by Padre Gaspar Hernandez.

Seems you have done some real digging Lambada and your efforts are appreciated.

Now I recall what my problem was when I read your first post. The first article as well as the article you have recommended here open up in an adobe type window and one therefore cannot copy and paste the text to a translator. Maybe there is another way to accomplish the translation and if someone knows I'm all ears.

Anyway I've gotten a basic grasp on who the individual is now and so once again thanks.

Though I still even after re-reading this thread fail to see how I had insulted or offended anyone I'm glad some people seem to have accepted my apology and hope all parties that felt injured by my inquiry are once again made whole by it as well.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to copy and paste from Adobe documents.
When I posted that translation for you, I had first typed out the text from the pdf document into the translating program.
It may be time consuming but it is the only way, if you truly want to understand the info provided.
If your monitor is a decent size, it is fairly easy to have both the document and the online translator opened at the same time, for easy copying.

Click edit, "select all", right click the highlighted text, left click copy, right click paste onto the translator or word doc!

Enjoy Gaspar Hernandez,

Hell I just realized something. Rocky you are largely responsible for this entire thread, Did you know that ??

I got to being curious about Who is Gasper Hernanadez after speaking to your waitress Anna. When she told me she was from Gaspar Hernandez I asked her who he was and she didn't know so that got my wheels spining.

If I would have remebered that earlier I would have insisted that you translate the whole damn thing. ... ja ja just kidding.

Small world heah !!!!!


Thanks Tamborista I'll try that now.

Thanks Tambo,
I don't happen to have the copy option with the right mouse click, but it is available in the edit options and works fine.
Muchas gracias.

I'm glad you found it helpful. Just to clarify, no-one felt injured by your inquiry. It was your reaction in subsequent posts which indicated a need to come out swinging which is not perhaps all that.........er..... conducive to academic research where we absorb, reflect, cogitate.............and then come out swinging but in the line of substantive debate I jest, I jest.

Anyway, all's well that ends well & everyone is now getting on famously. Splendid!

And I have a question for Tambo if it isn't going too much off topic..........Tambo can one copy the whole Adobe doc to a Word doc & go straight into the Microsoft office translator?

I was able to cut and paste a few pages into a Word doc...... You can then translate it with the MS office translator!

**The translator needs to be installed previously on Word.

I don't have MS Office, I just have good old MS word. Anyone know if there is a translatar that can be downloaded for that ?
