How to Trace Your Family Tree in Mexico

In this post, you will learn how to trace your family tree in Mexico. The great news is that you don’t have to travel to Mexico to trace your family tree.

Our Mexican heritage and history are very exciting ones. At one point in our lives there comes a point that we would like to find out more about our Mexican Ancestry. If you are at this point in your life you came to the right place.

You can trace your family tree and find your ancestors from your own home.

Thankfully for us, our ancestors were all Catholic.

OK, not literally all of them.

Since our Native American ancestors had their own religion.

For all others, we can safely assume that they were Catholics.

The great thing is that the catholic church was very meticulous in its record-keeping.

Many of their records for Mexico have survived from the 1520s to the present.

Nowadays, thanks to computers and the internet, you no longer have to go to Mexico.

Let me tell you how to find records about your ancestors.

All you need is a computer and an internet connection!

If you are reading this, I can safely assume that you have both.

So now that these two requirements have been met let me tell you of how you can best get started in researching your Mexican Ancestors.

There are three things that you absolutely have to do! See how I added an exclamation mark, so it is very important that you do them.

Ok, ok, two things are absolutely necessary and the third item is optional but not needed.
