I hope this isn't to confusing to understand. I wrote Dr. Lyman Platt with
some questions about the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census for Mexico. Immediately
following this is his reply to my original email. then after the =========
lines is his reply to my follow-up email. I'm providing this FYI. Maybe one
day someone from this group will be the one to go to Casa Amarilla and discover
the 1910 Census for Mexico.

Joseph. Do you have my book of research
in Mexico City? If you do it talks about the earlier Mexican censuses. I
expect the one on census records also does in the introductory area.
I believe the first was 1895 and has not
been located except for Mexico City. Then there is another one, I believe
in 1910 that is at the Casa Amarilla, although no researchers have seen
it. I got the 1920 and 1930 microfilmed. There were at the Archivo General
de la Nacion, the Old Penitenciary. The 1940 has not be filmed, and I haven't
seen it. I don't know where it is located.

Census question
if this is a repeat please pardon it since my computer hiccupped just
as I was sending what I thought to be my first message to you.
I hope you don't mind a quick question. . .let me know.
I am aware of the older census like you mention in your Hispanic Census
book. But I am wondering if there is any Mexican national census's for
the period of 1880-1920?

to indicate that a 1940 census is available but I know not about the time
frame mentioned.

Page 66 of the census book says: National
censuses were taken in 1895, reportedly in the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica,
Geografia e Informatica in Mexico City, 1900, no reference to location;
1910, only Mexico City known at the Archivo Historico de la Ciudad de Mexico;
1921 and 1930. The entire 1921 was microfilmed by the Family History Library
under my direction. The 1930 is reportedly also in the AGN but was not seen.
The book on Research in Mexico City is $15.00.
You may order it at my address: 2191 S. 2200 E., New Harmony, UT 84757.
The Census Records for Latin America and the Hispanic United States is still
for sale at Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore,
MD 21202. Their price was 19.95. They've had some specials on it lately.
They have a website using their name, but I don't have it on the tip of
my fingers.
Feel free to share any of this information
with your friends and associates.
The Casa Amarilla is the old presidential
palace in Mexico City. It is now a museum and archive I believe. yes, it's
just waiting to be discovered.
You may be right on the 1930, vs the 1921
that I mention above. I haven't checked them lately.
Great news on your ancestry. That's what
I had hoped the census book would do for people. Nice to hear a success
story. Good luck on continued research. Please let me know if I can be of
any assistance with information. Lyman

Joseph. Do you have my book of research
in Mexico City? If you do it talks about the earlier Mexican censuses.
I expect the one on census records also does in the introductory
area.
No I don't have your Mexico City book. . .what is the cost? Also I've
not read your Introduction on your Census records book I'm ashamed to
say. As a new researcher I'm still rushing forward to the "meat" of the
subject. I need to slow down and learn to digest. Anyway I just found
out that our local library in Durham, NC has a copy of your Census Book
I'll have to go in and have another look and read it this time. What is
the cost of this book?
I had another look at the 1855 Census Film for Colotlan, Jalisco the area
where my family resided for about 3-4 generations. I still can't believe
it. There are some areas where I have whole pages from top to bottom of
relatives. In one section I found my GGG-grandfather ways away in another
Rancho I found my GG grandparents and my G grandfather as a 2 year old
child. Seems like every page I roll on that film I'm seeing people I recognize
as part of the family either on the Puentes or Diaz or even many other
sides. Wonderful find!
I believe the first was 1895 and has
not been located except for Mexico City. Then there is another one,
I believe in 1910 that is at the Casa Amarilla, although no researchers
have seen it.
are you telling me it is sitting whereever Casa Marilla is just waiting
to be reintroduced to the Genealogical world?????? Or are you saying that
no one as of yet has been given permission to see it?
I got the 1920 and 1930 microfilmed.
I know the 1930 is already available for most if not all of Mexico through
the LDS system but is the 1920 available either though you or would one
have to go to the "Old Penitenciary?"
thanks so much for your help with this. . .also thanks so much for helping
peoples decended from "sangre España" all over the world. When I'm doing
my personal research I sometimes think that my name will be remembered
one day amongst the Puentes and Diaz of my bloodline as the person who stopped
"the forgetting and began the remembering" but with you, you and your
work will be remembered by multitudes of researchers all over the world
as they strive to find their hispanic roots. . .thanks.
