Description:In some cases, researchers of Spanish-American family history can be frustrated by the Anglo-centric focus of many genealogists. This database is a collection of Hispanic family history records and research guide for researchers of ancestors with Spanish-American heritage. It contains a number of pedigrees for some important families and narratives from the lives of many individuals. Additionally, it includes an address listing of some of the most helpful repositories of Spanish, Mexican, and Spanish-American records. This update adds the names of over 700 families and their associated histories. Also of importance to researchers in general is a surname guide to the 1990 federal census. Extensively researched and thoroughly documented, this database constitutes an instrumental aid to Spanish-American research. Source Information:Platt, Lyman. Spanish-American Surname Histories.
