Mexico Maps: Difference between revisions

To successfully research maps from Mexico, you must identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because there are several towns that have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. You will be more successful in identifying the town on a map if you have some information about the town. Using gazetteers and other such sources to identify the municipio and district your ancestor’s town was in will distinguish it from other towns of the same name and help you locate it on a map. See the '''[[Mexico Gazetteers]]''' article for more information.
