[ranchos] One Technique: Parent Search

aryhervassi · March 30, 2003, 2:31pm

Dear Mr Puentes,

I just came back from the Univerisity of Las Cruces in New Mexico. I need
someone to help me translate the copies that I made, matrimonales, limpa de
sangre, and some other copies.

Also how do I get a password and an ID to enter information on the Rancho web.

Thank you
Mary

Arturo and others

While at SaltLake I discovered the Familysearch web

use google go to it and select

FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service

Click search for ancestors

Click on left margin for International Genealogy Index

Fill info just do the first andf last name (or just last name)

Event all

Year range or exact date if you know it

***Region Important Fill in Mexico

Click search

You will get many names check the places then

click on likely one

You will get the individual record of that person

Check to see if it fits any info you may have.

Joseph, do I need to be a member to get into the IGI search at Family Search? I am looking for the birth of my Dad, or the marriage of my grandparents. But I am only able to get into the Family History Library Catalog.

Thanks

Arturo Garza
