Thousands of localized censuses, or padrones, were taken all over Mexico during the Colonial era. Mostly created during the 17th to 19th centuries, these censuses provide a snapshot in time of our ancestral families. Learn to find these censuses for your research locations and discover the content they may hold.

Very well done
Thank you!
Joy's presentation was so logical and systematic in its format. I've used padrones in my research, but Joy's webinar refreshed my memory regarding resources I have not used. Her webinar also reminded me that I need to improve my genealogy habits, like keeping a research log!
It was wonderful! There is so much more to Latin American (Mexico) research than what I was expecting. Thank you Joy Orio.
A very well organized and informative webinar. Excellent presenter!
Very good information. I'd love to see information for Central America too!
Appreciated the hints about using the Lyman Platt book.
well put together as compared to hand written records. reading the hand writing is difficult.
