Excellent webinar, Joy. You had great explanations and examples.
Very interesting information...I did not know there were Mutualistas other than Lulac.
Wonderful. Great information.
Presented very well. Clear and informative.
Interesting program for doing ones Mexican Heritages.. Unfortunately I don't have any to search for at the moment. However, I did notice that there was one unrelated ancestor that might have been in Mexico and further search will come back at a later time period to validate if this is true..
Excellent, had no idea about these societies
The topic is one not found in conferences so it is of great value to those needing another avenue to research.
Great presenter and content! Please bring her back.
