    Fascinating presentation and I don’t even have any Mexican ancestors! I liked her descriptions of how to get there and what to do after arrival even before starting to research. That appeared to be very helpful. And, I loved her enthusiasm.

    That was very informative and will help with my research in Mexico, mostly for my cousins family on her Dad’s side. I have learned a lot from researching her early Mexican heritage.

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.

Today, the documents at AGN are a genealogical treasure waiting to be discovered by a wider audience of researchers.
