==History==
[[Image:MapaMexicoDF.png|thumb|right|200px|MapaMexicoDF.png]]
On 29 January 2016, "Distrito Federal" or "D.F." (Federal District) was officially renamed, "Ciudad de México" or "CDMX" (Mexico City). The first inhabitants were the Mexica people who founded Mexico-Tenochtitlan (today Cuidad de México) in 1325. Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés came to the city in 1521, and made it the capital of New Spain and it became a seat of Spanish political power. Mexico gained it's independence in 1821. .<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Mexico City," ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City, accessed 30 May 2025.</ref>.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "History of Mexico City," ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mexico_City, accessed 30 May 2025.</ref>


== Getting started with Distrito Federal research  ==

Welcome to the Distrito Federal page! FamilySearch Wiki is a community website dedicated to helping people throughout the world learn how to find their ancestors. Through the Distrito Federal page you can learn how to find, use, and analyze Distrito Federal records of genealogical value. The content is variously targeted to beginners, intermediate, and expert researchers. Please visit the [https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Help:Contributor_Help help page] to learn more about using the site. The Distrito Federal Page is a work in progress, your contributions and [[FamilySearch Wiki:Feedback|feedback]] are essential!
 
== Jurisdictions  ==
 
Mexico City is divided into 16 delegations. In order to narrow down the place where your ancestor lived it is vital that you identify which delegation they might have lived in. If you have a street address or the name of a neighborhood, you can use a city street map to locate the delegation. Another option would be to identify the name of the parish church in which they might have worshiped. You can then use that information to locate the address of the church within the city. It is most likely that they went to the Civil Registration office closest to their church.
