Middle America - Mexico Vital Records Index

Use the Vital Records Viewer icon in the "Novell-Delivered Applications" window.

Contains information from birth, christening, and marriage events from selected localities in Mexico only. These records cover the years 1659 to 1905 and include both church records and civil registrations. Approximately 1.9 million births or christenings and 300,000 marriages are represented in this collection of records. The source information is included to allow you to view the original record on microfilm.

The Vital Records Index is not a complete collection of events from Mexico. Not all localities are represented, and coverage for any given area may not be complete. Because of this, your ancestor may not be found, even though the location where he or she came from may be represented. In addition, approximately 30 percent of the indiviuals represented in this collection have no last names. Consequently, because of the use of common first given names (Juan, José, Maria, and so on) you probably need to know other search information such as the parents' names, a locality, a specific date, or a combination of all these.
