SOCIETIES There are many societies and organizations in the United States that may have information of value to your genealogical research. There are also some societies in Mexico and in the country to which your ancestor immigrated that may have useful information. You may find it helpful to join one of these societies and support their efforts.
There are several genealogical societies that emphasize Mexican research. Most of these societies publish periodicals, transcripts, and compiled genealogies and may have special indexes, collections and projects. Some publish queries about Mexican ancestors or maintain a list of members’ research interests. Some specialize in the immigrants to a specific area.
The following are a few societies that may be of interest:
Historical societies can be valuable sources of information. Each state has its own historical library.
