Lots of information packed into this!
Good examples of the baptism record format.
I so enjoyed this webinar! While my ancestors were not connected to Mexico during colonial times, the webinar gave me useful clues/methodogies for researching their movements and lives from the early 1900's when they arrived in Mexico through the time just before they left in 1945.
Very good!
