New Mexico Research Tips[edit | edit source]
These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in New Mexico.
- Birth information: Statewide registration of births began in 1920 in New Mexico with general compliance by 1930. A helpful substitute record to find birth information is a death record. However, date and place of birth on a death record is considered secondary information, as it was not recorded at the time of the birth event. The birth information should be corroborated with other substitute records to improve accuracy.
- Finding Parents: County registration of deaths was required in 1907 and statewide registration began in 1920. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. Search New Mexico death records
- Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. Search U.S. Censuses.
