Genealogy of
Mexico Here's a shortcut to the rest of the links. If I were going to give advice to folks just beginning to search the Internet for pieces of their family tree, the first thing that I'd suggest would be to go to US GenWeb and follow the trail to each state and each county in which you have an interest. You can also try the World GenWeb to search for your "old country" roots. There will be a place on each county page to post a query, and you should certainly post one. Be sure you read and follow the query rules of the County Coordinator for your chosen county. If there are no rules posted, I'd suggest that you begin by entering the surnames in which you're interested in all capital letters on one line. Don't go overboard! Keep it to three or four surnames. Then write something like:
You've got the surname, date, and county connection in this query, and those are the really important things. Then, go to Roots Surname List -- Interactive Search and see if you can find anyone else who has registered your surname in the right location. You might just hit it really lucky! Also check the GenConnect search function. Then, just start to browse the rest of the sites. Undoubtedly, you'll find some you like better than others. And you'll discover many which aren't listed here. If you find some that are particularly good, please let me know so I can add them to this list to share with others. And always remember -- the best way to learn is by doing. So make sure you have unlimited time and surf to your heart's content! Good luck and I hope you find 15 well-documented generations! |
