Register for Friday’s Mexico Research Series webinar — Putting Them in Their Place: Understanding Localities for Your Mexican & Colonial Spanish Ancestors by Colleen Robledo Greene, MLIS

Geoff Rasmussen

18 Jul 2024

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.
