About this webinar
Familiarity with church and civil jurisdictions helps us make better sense of records we find for our Mexican ancestors, helps us know where to look for records that pertain to a particular place and time, and helps us trace evolving jurisdictional borders through time. Knowing where and how to find historical and background information about different Mexican localities helps you dig deeper into the lives of your ancestors. Learn about essential reference tools and strategies that will help you identify and learn more about the localities in which your ancestors lived and worked.

There was plenty of helpful information on where to find and use Mexican genealogy resources. Thank you.
Pretty well researched and presented. Hope you get one for Puerto Rico!
Tremendous. She is a great speaker and presenter. Clear, organized, and understandable. This webinar was just what I needed at this point in my research.
great info i am new to Genealogy where do I start learning.....
I always learn so much from these webinars!
Great presentation full of history and information for finding ancestors. Thanks
Very good, although I have no ancestors from Mexico. I did recognize some of the localities due to previously working for a parish in California with lots of parish members from Mexico.
A ton of information and suggestions where to research locations. Other than FamilySearch, I have not explored any of these yet so these new clues are very helpful.
