Advice on how to continue when you're stuck

  • Add
  • By acalleros | Fri, 2008-06-27 13:00

    Hello all, I would like to know if anyone has any tips about how to continue
    when you're stuck. My specific situation is that I was able to find records
    back to 1856 for one of my family lines, others lines have ended sooner. On
    my fathers side I'm going to have to actually go to Jalisco and see if I can
    find some records. The names I'm looking for there are for a Jose Quintero
    and Carlota Del Rio parents of Salvador and Juan Quintero. I guess my real
    question is how can you trace a family member that may have immigrated to
    Mexico? I'm starting to wonder if I should stop looking at marriage,
    baptismal and birth records and start looking at immigration records. And
    does anyone know where I can go for Mexican immigration records?

    Thanks!

    Advice on how to continue when you're stuck

    Hola America, Archivos Espanoles en Red can help you if your ancestor emmigrated to Mexico between 1519-ca. 1821. So a good chunck of time. Are you related to the famous MArtinez del Rio familiy? Some their house members are in Jalisco? According to my grandfather our families never got along. It's funny in my opinion. What great lengths people will go for a acre of land. Well I do have some advice. Just keep gooing on to other lines. Hopefully their in Jalisco at least all it will be easier in my opinion. The Spanish families are so well documented until about 1730. Post 1730 is when you must order microfilm in order to connect to the pre 1730 genealogy.
    Where exactlyis your family from in Jalisco? If its los altos, remember to check more than one place. Pick Wisely, it can cost a bit. Remember our ancestors moved to place to place. -Daniel

    Daniel, thanks for the advice. The Quintero and Del Rio families were from
    Tuxpan, Jalisco. I only know vague stories about the families, they had a
    mill their but I'm not sure if it was a sugar mill or what kind :S

    I know Juan Quintero was in the Mexican Navy. The ship was sunk off the
    coast of Mexico by the Germans (I think) and he never came back. We know
    there were survivors but I don't know if those kinds of records are also
    available some where.

    Thanks again!

    Ancestry.com has an extensive list of immigration records from the late 1800's and the early 1900's. I found my grandparents in these records from 1912. It's not free; you have to buy a subscription but to a genealogist, it's worth it.
