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.

Prerequisite: This lecture assumes familiarity already with common U.S. genealogy records as well as Mexican parish and civil registrations.
