3 Websites To Help Start Your Mexican Family History Research

MexicoFlag

Have Mexican roots? My sons’ Mexican ancestors came to the United States in the early 20th century so while there are some familiar sources I can use to add information to that family history such as US naturalizations and census records, I also need to extend my research across the border after just a few generations. Starting research in a country you are not familiar with or don’t read the language can be intimidating but there are a few websites that can help get you started.

Mexican Genealogy

Mexican Genealogy is the website of Moises Garza who has put together resources for “Mexican genealogy and its Spanish colonial period.” Make sure to check out his Mexican Genealogy Resources by State to find links to records, repositories, and more. When I checked one of the states for my research, Chihuahua, I found links to Catholic Church records, Facebook groups, history and repositories. Under the Community link found in the top green toolbar you can also find links to Facebook groups by Mexican state. Remember, that Facebook genealogy groups are great places to crowdsource research problems and learn more about genealogical research from those who have experience in that research. Lastly, if you love books like I do, check out Mexican Genealogy’s Book page for resources to add to your bookshelf including the 2nd edition of Garza’s Mexican Genealogy Research Online: A Guide to Help You Discover Your Ancestry.

Genealogical Society of Hispanic America

I’m a big believer in the value of genealogy societies. Between the educational opportunities and networking, societies are a great place to learn more and ask questions. There are a number of societies that meet your research needs that cover a specific place your ancestor lived but you may also want to consider a topical society like the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America.

What’s the benefit of joining this society? A yearly conference and publications allow you to learn more about genealogy and history. What I appreciate most about their Nuestras Raices journal is the case studies that allow you to understand how other researchers have tackled their genealogical brick walls.  If you’re lucky enough to live near one of the society’s chapters  in Pueblo, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; or Salt Lake City, Utah, you can take advantage of meetings and local event opportunities. If you need help with your research, talking to like-minded researchers can be an important step in learning more about your family history.

Mexican Geneaogy Guide

I’m a big fan of librarian and genealogist Colleen Robledo Greene and her Mexican Genealogy Guide which has some great resources to get your research started in the United States and Mexico. There’s so much to love here including help with identifying your immigrant’s hometown, specific record collections, and what to do if you don’t find your ancestor in those collections. She even mentions the Legacy Webinar on Finding Your Roots In Catholic Records  by Lisa Toth Salinas which is vital since as she points out “having a solid understanding of those records is essential to doing good genealogy.” What I love about Colleen’s Guide is that she includes not only genealogical information but also social history sources which are so important to understanding your ancestor’s life, the records that document their lives, and the times they lived in. Colleen’s website also includes Guides for Evernote and Hispanic Genealogy.

So often we just dive into our research, hoping that typing in a name, date, place will yield us the results we seek. But it’s important to do your homework before you dive in. The websites above can provide you much needed resources. Once you understand what you need for your research, consult the FamilySearch Research Wiki for Mexico Genealogy  for more resources and links to record collections.

Please read Legacy 101 - Privacy to learn how to make things private in your file. Option 12.1 resets (or retains) your choices for reports. I personally have this set to reset every time because I am really picky about privacy things. I would rather be forced to make the privacy decisions each time I run a report.

Some people like to display RINs in the User ID field and MRINs in the Marriage User ID field. Usually these are people that use these numbers as part of their paper/electronic filing system. This option will allow you to fill in these fields all at one time. You can also add custom text that will proceed the RIN and MRIN. Make sure you click the Apply button to execute the command. You can also clear out all of your User IDs to start from scratch.

About the presenter

TessaKeough-144x144Tessa Keough is a genealogist in transition (read – this is not her day job but she wishes it was!). She takes advantage of 21st century technology to work on her own family history as well as engage in specialized projects. These projects include a one-place study of her grandfather's native community of Plate Cove East, Newfoundland, and a one-name study of her Keough surname.

Seeing a need for an online users' group for her favorite genealogy software, Tessa set up the Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community on Google+. With three of her fellow genealogists, she co-hosts monthly hangouts-on-air presentations, provides tips, and moderates the member posts at the LVUG Community which boasts more than 900 members. For the past two years Tessa has served as the USA West Regional Representative for the Guild of One-Name Studies. In April 2014 she took on the post of USA National Representative for the Guild and serves as the Guild's delegate member to the Federated Genealogical Society (FGS). She moderates the Guild's Google+ Community and co-hosts the Guild's North American monthly hangouts-on-air. Tessa blogs on her personal blogs, is a contributing blogger to Worldwide Genealogy, and is part of the 5-member interview team for the May I Introduce To You feature at Geneabloggers. Tessa is doing her best to spread the word about surname and location studies as a fascinating and fun way to connect to your larger family history story, your extended relatives, and your fellow genealogists.

In case you did not notice, Tessa is a huge fan of Google+ and YouTube and an even bigger fan of giving back to the genealogy and family history community. Her volunteer efforts landed her on Lisa Louise Cooke's Social Media Mavericks: 40 to follow list in Family Tree Magazine's March/April 2014 edition for TessaWatch (her YouTube channel with 120 short and not-so-short video tutorials).

MyHeritage Adds French Record Collection: Nord Civil Marriage Records, 1792–1937

We're delighted to let you know that MyHeritage has released a fantastic French record collection — France, Nord Civil Marriages, 1792-1937 which includes 5.4 million civil records of marriages (1792-1937) for the French department of Nord that were collected by government authorities after the French Republic was proclaimed in 1792. The collection contains a detailed searchable index that details you won’t find on other websites. 

The collection is live in MyHeritage SuperSearch™ at: https://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10726/france-nord-civil-marriages-1792-1937

In this collection, you’ll find rich details about the bride, groom, and their families, including the names of the bride and groom, their birth dates, birthplaces, marriage date and location, and the names of the bride’s and groom’s parents — including their mothers’ maiden surnames. Additional information about the death of one or more of the parents, along with witness names and details — often with recorded relationships to the bride and groom — can also be found.

France

The index that we created for this collection is unique in that it lists information that isn’t available on any other website, such as the estimated birth years of the bride and groom, and the names of their parents.

The collection on MyHeritage also includes beautiful scanned images of every record in a higher resolution than can be seen on some other sources.

The collection is available for searching on SuperSearch™, and users will receive Record Matches from this collection, revealing new information about their ancestors who appear in the records.

The collections provide robust coverage of during a span of 145 years making them a treasure trove of valuable family history information. They are sure to provide insight for anyone with roots in that region.
