Re: [ranchos] One Technique: Parent Search


 
Hi Joseph,

I have a little problem locating soneone that was born somewhere in the 1909 - 1914.

First let me mention that my grandparents didn't get married.  Their names were Jesus Alejandro Mitre and Concepcion Gandara
Second, they had 5 children.  One in Chihuahua, Chihuahua that I know of (my mother Elena Mitre Gandra.)  she was born on August 15, 1905.
The rest claim that they were born in El Paso, Texas. Which I don't believe and I will tell you why.

My grandfather Jesus Mitre was a string player and played at the theator Lydico philharmonic in Mexico City where I was told that the rest of the clan were born.

Problem is I don't know where to search.  The LDS don't have it and I don't know who to write to.
This is why I am asking if you can help me locate a person, or place that I can ask for registration, and or baptizos.

Your help would be very appricated
Thank you
Mary

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.

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
