My great-grandmother was born in Merida, Yucatan, in 1871. Can you help me find her Birth Certificate? I live in the US. I have several ancestors in Asturias, Spain. There is an investigator there that has helped me find many old records, for a fee. He finds the information in the Archdiocese of Oviedo, Asturias. I use that information to backup the information in our family tree. Do you know of a similar service in Merida, Yucatan?
