I am fully aware that there are more Genealogy Resources for Oaxaca, Mexico out there but this is a start. As I come across more Genealogy Resources for Oaxaca I will be posting them on this page. Also if your favorite resource is not mentioned here please send me an email I would love to include it.
Thanks for sharing these resources. My maternal 2nd great-grandfather, Nicanor Matus, was from Espinal, Oaxaca. I still need to find his parents and any siblings he had.
You are welcome. I still need to add many more resources to this page. I am hoping that in two weeks I can start revising each state page and include more resources to each.
