| ==History==
| |
| Prior to the coming of the Spaniards, much of Sinaloa was inhabited by the Cáhita peoples.
| |
| In 1531, a force of over 10,000 men, defeated a force of 30,000 Cáhita warriors at the site of Culiacán and a Spanish and allied Indian outpost at San Miguel de Culiacán was established. Over the next decade, the Cahíta suffered severe depopulation from smallpox and other diseases the Spanish brought.<br>
| |
| Starting in 1599, Jesuit missionaries spread out from a base at what is now Sinaloa de Leyva and by 1610, the Spanish influence had been extended to the northern edge of Sinaloa. In 1601, the Jesuits' movement into the eastern part of Sinaloa led to the Acaxee going to war. The Spanish eventually managed to reassert authority in the Sierra Madre Occidental region.

| ==How to Find the Town of Origin in Mexico==
| | Welcome to the Sinaloa page! FamilySearch Wiki is a community website dedicated to helping people throughout the world learn how to find their ancestors. Through the Sinaloa page you can learn how to find, use, and analyze Sinaloa records of genealogical value. The content is variously targeted to beginners, intermediate, and expert researchers. Please visit the [[Portal:Get started with this site|help page]] to learn more about using the site. The Sinaloa Page is a work in progress, your contributions and [[FamilySearch Wiki:Feedback|feedback]] are essential! |
| To search the records effectively, you need to know the town in Mexico where your ancestor lived. For a checklist of sources to search for that information, use [[Mexico Locating Place of Origin|'''Mexico Locating Place of Origin.''']]<br><br>
| |
| Also, see these two online classes:

| ==Civil Registration==
| | (Your text or images here) |
| *Civil registration records are government records covering birth, marriage, and death. They are an excellent source of names, dates, places, and relationships. <br>
| |
|
| |
|
| *Civil authorities began registering births, marriages, and deaths in 1859, and most individuals who lived in Mexico after 1867 are recorded. Because the records cover such a large percentage of the population, they are extremely important sources for genealogical research in Mexico. Initially, the Mexican populace, accustomed to registering its vital events with the local parish church, opposed the register. It was not until the republic was restored in 1867 that civil registration was vigorously enforced.<br>

| ===Find the Municipality for Your Town===
| | *(helpful tools and resources, gazetteers) |
| *You will need to know the '''town where your family lived''' and to which '''municipio''' the town belonged.

| *For many localities, digital copies of civil registration can be searched online. Also, the FamilySearch Library has microfilmed civil registration for many states of Mexico. Currently, Sinaloa has not been microfilmed or digitized. Check back from time to time to see if that has changed. In the meantime, you have two options: 1) writing for the records to a local registration office, or 2) base your research church records. Most vital events were recorded both in civil and church records.

| Civil registration records in Mexico can be obtained by writing to the local civil registry in the municipality. Civil officials will generally answer correspondence in Spanish. Your request may be forwarded if the records have been sent to state archives. '''''This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.''''' <br><br>

|
| Although civil registration records are an important source for genealogical research in Mexico, many births, marriages, and deaths were never recorded by civil authorities; therefore, you must use church records to supplement this genealogical source. <br>
| | == Did you know? == |
|
| |
|
| The vast majority of Mexicans were Catholic and were registered in entries for baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials in the local church records. Often two and sometimes three generations are indicated in the registers, with personal information on the family. Church records are the main source prior to 1850, when civil registration began. After this date one should search in both church and civil records, since there may be information in one record that does not appear in the other. For instance, the church records may only list the godparents, while the civil records may list the grandparents.

| ==== Tips for finding your ancestor in the records ====
| |
| *Births were usually reported within a few days of the birth by the father of the child, a neighbor, or the midwife. A search for a birth record should begin with the known date of birth and then searching forward in time, day by day, until the record is found. It might be found within a few days of the actual birth date, but in some instances, it might be weeks or months later. Birth, marriage, and death records are often indexed by '''given name''' or '''surname.'''
| |
| <br>
| |
| *The Catholic Church continued keeping records after the creation of the civil registration in 1859. Therefore two types of records are available for the marriages. Be sure to search both records. With the separation of church and state in Mexico, formalized by the 1917 constitution, civil authorities determined that for couples to be legally married they had to be married by the state. Because of the close affinity of the Catholic Church and the state authorities, this rule was not always followed, and church weddings were accepted by the state. Normally, however, couples were married by civil authorities prior to a church wedding. On rare occasions they were married civilly after a church wedding.
| |
| <br>
| |
| *Some municipios are small and therefore only have one civil registration office, but there are other larger ''municipios'' that have several sub civil registration offices that report to the main municipio office.
| |
| <br>
| |
| *Death records can be particularly helpful for people who may not have had a civil birth or marriage record but died during the period when civil registration had begun.
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ===Search Strategy===
| |
| *Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''.
| |
| *Next, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.
| |
| *You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records.
| |
| *Search the death registers for all known family members.
| |
| *Repeat this process for both the father and the mother, starting with their birth records, then their siblings' births, then their parents' marriages, and so on.
| |
| *If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes.
