    I’m just getting started researching my family from Mexico so this webinar provided me with LOTS of information. I will definitely need to watch this at least two more times in addition to all the webinars on Mexico that you have in the library. The speaker provided a great handout – thank you so much!

    Excellent speaker and presentation! The strategies are transferable to all research efforts. My husband’s great grandmother was from Mexico and many ties to Laredo during the early settlement. I am excited to put all of the information in this webinar and the others to work on this family line.

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.
