| FamilySearch has microfilmed extensive collections of records in Mexico. The best way to locate records filmed by FamilySearch is by doing a [https://www.familysearch.org/catalog/search '''Place Search'''] under the name of the town where the parish and/or municipio is located. Also search under the name of the state, as records beyond parish and civil registers are often identified as only a collection for the entire state and not subdivided, even if they do contain significant information about specific people within towns in the state. | | FamilySearch has microfilmed extensive collections of records in Mexico.

| In some cases records for the entire state have been catalogued under the name of the '''capital city''' because the archive containing those records is found there, so check under the name of the state’s capital city. Also check for the city that is the archdiocese for your ancestral hometown. | | In some cases records for the entire state have been catalogued under the name of the '''capital city''' because the archive containing those records is found there, so check under the name of the state’s capital city.
