This table can help you decide which records to search. It is most helpful for research from 1800 to the present.  
== Record Finder Table for Mexico ==
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
=== Order of Records ===
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


Step 1. '''In column 1''' select a research goal. Choose an ancestor you would like to know more about. What new information would you like to learn about that person?
== List of Topics ==
This Record Finder table links to the Mexico topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
===Vital Events ===

| style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"|


Step 2. '''In column 2''' find the types of records most likely to have the information you need. Read the FamilySearch Wiki articles about those types of records. They explain what the records might tell you, how to search them, and how to find them in the FamilySearch Catalog. Some records are not at the library.
