This presentation demonstrates methods and tools for tackling two common predicaments when researching families of Mexican origin. First, distinguishing between people with the same names, living in the same place, at the same. And second, determining which compound given names and compound surnames to record in your source citations, online trees, and family narratives.

Colleen’s strategies were excellent! Amazing information to use as I research my Alvarado ‘familia’ in Gomez Palacio, Durango, Mexico.
Colleen’s webinar went way beyond the name’s conundrum we often face. This was an awesome detailed and in-depth **methods** presentation (and perhaps, should also be cataloged in the library as such).
I really appreciate that these webinars are made available for free and that an effort is made in teaching methodologies to research Mexican American family history.
Well done! Thank you for a great presentation! It was very informative and will aid my research.
Colleen never fails to deliver an outstanding webinar. Her webinars have been so helpful to me in researching my daughter-in-law’s side of the family. Now if the people in Mexicali, Mexico would put every thing online, it would be so much easier for me to research.
I am new to Mexican and Mexican American research, and I not only learned a lot about the naming system but also gained useful strategies for researching my Uncle’s husband, who had been estranged from his family since his teenage years.
good information about doing research plans and dual names in Spanish research.
Great Handout. This has been a topic I have struggled with forever. It looks like forever has ended. Thank you Colleen!!!
