Eva,
I sense that you are a novice at this genealogy stuff.So, let's start at the beginning.
I sense that you are a novice at this genealogy stuff.So, let's start at the beginning.First of all, you don't need to go to Mexico to research your family history.The Mormons already have on microfilm all the records you would find in Mexico.It is very easy and inexpensive to order the microfilm at a Mormon Family History Center.Best of all, you can review the microfilm at your leisure.
First of all, you don't need to go to Mexico to research your family history.The Mormons already have on microfilm all the records you would find in Mexico.It is very easy and inexpensive to order the microfilm at a Mormon Family History Center.Best of all, you can review the microfilm at your leisure.You should go to the Mormons website "familysearch.org" and play around with the different links there.For example, at the main page of "familysearch.org" you will see a link on the left "Browse Categories".Click on "Browse Categories" and then scroll down to "Libraries".Click on "Libraries" and click on the first link "Family History Library Catalog".Click on "Family History Library Catalog" and then click on "Place Search".Type "Mocorito" in the line for "Place" and type Mexico in the line for "Part of (Optional)".Click on "Search" and you will see "Place Search Results: Mexico, Sinaloa, Mocorito".Click on "Mexico, Sinaloa, Mocorito" and then click on "Mexico, Sinaloa, Mocorito - Church Records".At this point you can see that the Mormons have microfilmed the Mocorito Church records from 1677 to 1968.

So there you have it.All you have to do is order the microfilm and start the painstakingly slow (but rewarding) process of looking for your ancestors among the handwritten parish records.You should start with the Marriage Records and look for your oldest known set of grandparents (or great-grandparents).Tracing your ancestors through the Marriage Records is the fastest way of building your family tree.It only took me two weeks to trace my direct paternal line back 240 years because all my direct paternal ancestors married in the same Church.
