Specialist in Mexican and American Ancestry

Many of us wonder where we came from and how we got here. Who were our ancestors and where did they live? Why did they live there? If you are of Mexican descent, I can help you answer those questions. I have been doing genealogy research for a few years and I also host a podcast about Mexican Ancestry: "A Mexican Family Story". I am driven by these stories and I love solving mysteries in history.

The research consists of online searches through different databases, as well as books, and conversations with people knowledgeable in certain regions of Mexico. For example, once I discover where your family came from, I research that region and discover what was going on there at the time your ancestors lived there. In Mexico, there have been many wars, political struggles, and migrations throughout its history. This history helps explain why our families moved, or stayed, where they lived. The Spanish kept immaculate records during the colonial era and those documents help tell the story of our ancestry. Some documents, like birth records, include the race of the individuals. Some even have fingerprints.

I approach all my research with love and respect for the families that I help.
