Remember, even if there are family secrets, there is always some truth in the "stories" 😉  Follow more Genealogy Tips of the Day here: Genealogy Quick Tips
 My father, who had been researching for over 40 years, had never been able to locate one of my great grandfathers’ death record, and asked me to search for it. This was at the beginning of my genealogy research days, and I also had trouble finding it. My father knew the approximate year his grandfather died, and said he had passed away in Oklahoma. I could not find a death record or burial for him. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t find anything on him at all after a certain point, the point when he had separated from my great grandmother.
I searched for his known “second” wife, and found a headstone that had a first name and last name on it that matched; although, her name was all that was known by family. This person shared a headstone with someone with a different first and middle name than that of my great grandfather, but had the same last name and approximate death year as my great grandfather, and shared the headstone with a women that had the same first name as his last known wife. I then researched with that name, and found his death certificate. He had died in Missouri, not Oklahoma as thought; although, he was buried there. I knew I had the right record, due to the fact that his birth date and parents’ names matched. An unknown of daughter was the informant. I ran a search for the daughter, and found a census with my great grandfather having yet another name. I then ran a search for anyone with his last name (omitting a first name, as I do quite frequently), age and previous locations, and had then found that he had changed his first name and middle name multiple times throughout his life. Not only did I find his death record as my father had wanted, but I was also able to find a second wife (the known "second" wife was actually a third wife) who was unknown of to the family, and a daughter he had with that second wife (a new aunt for my father, whom he never knew about), not to mention the fact that he went by several names throughout his life. I’m still trying to solve the secret of why he kept changing his name. Was he hiding from something? I may never know. 😉 Find more brick wall research tips under the Genealogy Brick Wall Cases category. P.S...

 Mexican Genealogy Research and Resources Mexican Genealogy ResourcesAre you looking for resources for your Mexican genealogy research all in one place? The number one site I use for my Mexican genealogy research is FamilySearch.org, and it is FREE! Records: These include the Mexican Civil Registration records and the Catholic Church parish records which are searchable by name now, which makes it so much easier; I remember having to painstakingly search the Mexican Civil Registration Records image by image just a few years ago! Some of the Church parish records still need to be searched image by image though. They also have the 1930 Mexican Census, and so much more!  FamilySearch Mexico Online Genealogy Records You can find the Mexican Record Resources here: Mexico Online Genealogy Records Research Wiki: The Research Wiki is a fantastic tool on FamilySearch .org, that will help you with your research. From there, you can search records, get research advice and tutorials, Spanish handwriting tools, a Spanish genealogical word list, dictionaries, Mexican history, and more! I did not learn about the Wiki until I took a trip to Salt Lake a couple of years ago, not to mention it is fairly new. The FamilySearch Wiki started back in 2008, but did not have nearly what they have now!  FamilySearch Mexico Genealogy Research Wiki You can find the Mexican Genealogy Research Wiki here: Mexico Genealogy FamilySearch Communities: You can also “Ask the Community” for advice, translations and more!  FamilySearch Latin America Genealogy Research Community You can find and join the research community here: Latin American Genealogy Research Interactive Questions: Have you used FamilySearch's Mexico Online Genealogy Records, their Mexico Genealogy Research Wiki or their Latin American Genealogy Research Community yet? Let me know below in the comments! I'd love to hear which of their resources you used in your Mexican genealogy research and how it has helped you climb your family tree!
