In this post, I share with you a great presentation that provides great Tips for Beginners in Mexican Genealogy, covering Civil Registers and Parish Records. It is full of great information, recommendations, and tips.
Once a month I feature a presentation that is available on Las Villas del Norte (the official premium genealogy group for our Mexican genealogy community). These presentations have a focus on researching Mexico or are about methodology that can be applied to researching our Mexican and Spanish Colonial Ancestry.
This month's presentation that I want to make you aware of is that of professional genealogist Ryan Jordan and it is titled "Tips for Beginners in Mexican Genealogy: Civil Registers and Parish Records".
The summary of the presentation is: "This presentation will provide an overview of seven major record types in Mexico Region: Civil Birth, Marriage and Death Records and Parish Baptism, Marriage,Census and Burial Records. The presentation will touch on variations of these records along with paleography tips. The targeted audience is beginning genealogists with limited familiarity in Mexico."
This presentation provides a great wealth of knowledge on how to trace ancestors through revolutionary Mexico.
The following topics are discussed:
- Mexican Civil Registration Overview
- Civil Registration Records
- Finding Mexican Vital Records
- Mexican Catholic Parich Records
- Parich Censuses
- Resources
