Did your Mexican ancestors immigrate to the United States in the 20th century? This period of history witnessed significant waves of Mexican immigration to the U.S., both permanent and temporary. The types of immigration records introduced or refined during this era, provide a wealth of information.
I am kicking off my new “Genealogy Quick Tips” video series. My first Quick Tips focuses on married women and surnames in the Spanish speaking world.
My next Mexican genealogy webinar debuts live this Friday, May 20, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. The live webinar is available to anyone for FREE, but requires prior registration. Learn how even non-Spanish speakers can be successful at this research!
Join me this Saturday, May 7th for two FREE Mexican genealogy webinars offered by my own county genealogical society, the Orange County California Genealogical Society (OCCGS)!
Hands down, Diahan Southard’s Endogamy & DNA online course is the best resource I have found for really learning how to dig into understanding endogamy, its impact on your autosomal DNA matches, and how to account for it when working those matches.
Endogamy can inflate the estimated relationship ranges that the genealogical DNA testing companies calculate for autosomal DNA matches. This webinar should provide you with a good free introduction to dealing with this challenge.
