Systematic, detail-oriented researcher with ~5yrs of experience in Mexican parish and civil records. I am comfortable with Spanish paleography between the 17th and 20th centuries, abbreviations for the same, and ethnic markers/labels given to baptized children. I work consistently using FamilySearch databases, and have successfully obtained records that were unavailable on FS by reaching out to individual Texas libraries that held missing microfilm in their collection.
My personal research goal is to connect the branches of my Mexican maternal ancestors to Jews expelled from Spain in 1492 (including Conversos, crypto-Jews, and Anusim). I have a passion for helping others deepen their ancestral connections to Mexico and to potential Jewish ancestry, along with educating about the Inquisition and its effects in the New World.
