Join us in Training Room 1 for “Finding Your Roots in Mexico,” a
combined lecture – workshop to help people learn how to trace their roots in
Mexico. Veteran genealogist John Schmal will show attendees how to access the
records of their Mexican ancestors online and give them pointers about how to
use that information once you have located it. Using a 45-page PowerPoint, John
will point out some of the potential problems that arise with Mexican research
and how to navigate those problems to get the results you need. Bring your family group sheets and pedigree charts
to get the best results.
