The Lecture: This is a lecture to help people learn about doing genealogical research for their Indian roots in Mexico. Using a PowerPoint presentation, genealogist John Schmal will show examples of Indian baptisms and marriages from various parts of the country. He will also discuss the issue of tribal identity and the use of the generic term "indio" in Catholic Church records as early as the 1600s. Some of the challenges of tracing indigenous families beyond several generations will be discussed.
