Introduction to Mexican Genealogy Research

The public is invited to an “Introduction to Mexican Genealogy Research”, hosted by the Davis Genealogy Club on Tuesday, April 21st, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, in the Davis Senior Center’s Valente Room. This free, remote presentation will be shown on the big screen with a live audience. Refreshments provided by club members will follow the presentation and Q&A. 

This lecture offers an introduction to important foundational concepts in Mexican family research (names, jurisdictions and governmental entities, language resources, etc.), as well as an overview of the abundant church and civil records available online.
