Re: [ranchos] One Technique: Parent Search

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

No.

go to:  http://www.familysearch.org

spend some time looking around the site clicking all the links and see whats
available. . .its all free unless you order something. And if you do order
something like the Mexican Vital Records its soooo cheap for what you get.

Anyway after looking around click on the Search tab.

then on the left side click on the IGI link

and then just start using the free search.

let me know if I can help you in a specific search, we can go over it together
if you have any trouble. I truly believe after you or anyone else has done
two or so searches they will be fairly confident in their ability to navigate
the basic search part of the site.

ps:

one possible discouraging note on trying to find people that are less than
110 years old. Privacy is a concern of the LDS church and you will rarely
find info on current generations. but once you get past that 110 year area
you should start seeing more info.

this is not to say that the information isn't there. It very well might be
on the films you can order from the parrish where they were born, but because
of privacy wasn't included on the Internet IGI site.

Tell me where your Dad and grandparents were born and I'll help you find
out if there are records for that specific location  and what dates are covered.
We can go from there.
