    Great presentation! Learned plenty of new info, have replayed (and will continue to replay) parts multiple times.

    I have many ancestors who crossed the border, some even crossed back + at least 2-3 ancestors who were naturalized, but only able to find a 1-2pg doc for each, but not all documents

    About 12 min in is the chart of record collections for Texas .. thank you for that, but I want to know .. Is that list available on FamilySearch or did you create it for your presentation? If the former, would you please provide a link? If the latter, would you mind updating the syllabus with it (w/active links)? Thanks!

    I have found some family that came from Germany through Mexico. This will be a big help in my research. Thanks.

    I’ve been researching my family genealogy for decades (began before records digitzed), but was completely unaware of the use of the AR#s. I believe I have a number of border crossing records displaying those numbers. I’m looking forward to this new avenue of information!

    Awesome! Lots of very good information! I ‘tuned’ in today in the hopes of learning how to research earlier New Mexico records, but I will check for more webinars on that subject!

Your 19th & 20th Century Mexican Ancestors in the U.S.
Historical records and social history paint a rich picture of the lives of our Mexican ancestors who were in the U.S. after the mid-19th century. A new border, new laws, a violent revolution, two world wars, and changing economic and political conditions significantly impacted your Mexican ancestors who came to or were born in the United States. Sharing a border, and sharing a long common history in certain regions of the U.S. has presented situations unique to those of Mexican descent compared to other immigrant and ethnic groups.

Mexican Land Reform and the Ejido: History and Records
Between 1916 and 1945 the Mexican government distributed 74 million acres of land to Mexican citizens - many of whom had been dispossessed of the right to that land in preceding generations. In this session, we will review the laws, administrative processes and records related to the distribution of that land, known as the ejido. We will also review strategies for requesting the original records. Intended for those with experience in Mexican and/or Hispanic genealogy, this session can help you take your research to the next level.
