Que tal Jose. . .welcome to the group,

Others can add to this. . .I'd say that you need to find your local 
Family History Center and pay it a visit. It is a small genealogical 
library that is part of the Larger Family History Library of Salt Lake 
City. There are many branches all over the world and probably one close 
to you. You don't need to be a member of the LDS Mormon church to use 
these facilities and the cost for viewing film is very affordable.
To find your closest Family History Center go to this webpage:

http://www.familysearch.org

click on the tab at the top labeled "Library"

The on the next window click on the Link for  "Family History Centers."

fill in all the info asked for and see if there is a Family History 
Center (FHC) close to you. I and a couple of others are Volunteers at 
FHC's. I'm not a Mormon and they have let me do this. I'm learning a lot 
about non-Hispanic Genealogy by working there every other Thursday.
Anyway don't be concerned about unwanted prostelization because the 
church is very good about not preaching to those that don't want to hear 
it.
After you've found your local FHC give them a call and find their hours. 
Go pay them a visit and they will give you a tour and you will suddenly 
be introduced to a lifetime of available materials to study on your 
genealogy.
let us know how you make out with this or if you have any questions. . 
.I'll be glad to help in any way I can,
joseph
