I also travel to Mexico nearly every year to visit family, many times for an extended time.
During these periods I try to allocate time for geneological research. In a few of these
trips, I have researched historical data at the "Archivo General de la Nacion", and "Instituto
Nacional de Antropologia e Historia" in Mexico City.... Church Dispensations from
Guadalajara (Sagrada Mitra- Arzobispado de Nueva Galicia). I will be submitting some of
these lines shortly.
Susana,
I am interested in your comments on the "Archivo General de la Nacion" since it appears to
have much information not available in the Mormon repository. A copy of the Archivo is
available locally at the University of California San DIego, not too far from my La Jolla
home. (I hope it is there, as advertised).
My questions for you re: Archivo. How easy is it to use? Is it indexed in any way? Did you
find much information regarding your family? Any tips? Any warnings?
Do you know where someone could review the Church Dispensations of Guadalajara
without going to Guadalajara?
Thank you for your introduction.
Ed
