Congratulations on Beginning Your Mexican Genealogy Journey

First of all, congratulations on taking the first step to discover your Mexican ancestry. Genealogy is more than just names and dates—it’s a rewarding and fulfilling journey that connects you to your roots and helps you understand how your ancestors shaped not only your family’s history but also the history of Mexico and the United States.

Why Genealogy Research Matters

As you dig into your family’s past, you’ll uncover stories, obscure historical events, and fascinating details that may surprise you. You’ll learn that your ancestors played vital roles in shaping the regions they lived in. The truth is, our lives today are built upon the choices, struggles, and triumphs of those who came before us.

Getting Started with Mexican Genealogy Online

If you’re already familiar with online research, starting your Mexican genealogy search is fairly simple. But if you’re just getting started—don’t worry! I’ve created an email series designed specifically to help beginners build a strong foundation.

This step-by-step guide will save you countless hours by helping you avoid common pitfalls and giving you the tools you need to start off the right way.

The Most Important Tip: Start with Your Family

As you go through the email series, pay close attention to the section titled “Your Family is the Place to Start.” This step is essential—there’s no way around it. Your relatives hold valuable information, stories, and clues that can dramatically accelerate your research.

Whenever possible, record your interviews or, at the very least, take detailed notes. Trust me—you’ll forget more than you think if you don’t write it down right away.

Keep an Open Mind

Be ready to adapt. The examples and resources I share in the email series are there to guide you, but don’t be afraid to make them your own. Think creatively about how to apply the tools and tips to your unique family history.

A Mental Shift Is Key

Starting your genealogy journey isn’t just about learning techniques—it’s also about changing your mindset. You’ll soon read about common myths and misconceptions that many people (myself included) have about Mexican genealogy research. Breaking through these mental blocks will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
