El Border Wall Has Mexico Feeling Helpless?
Q. At the beginning of every school year, bad news comes from Mexican heartland states such as Zacatecas and Queretaro: Local authorities are closing hundreds of schools because so many families have moved north to the U.S. heartland. Mexicans feel helpless before the migrant exodus, and talk about it the same way they talk about the weather. Everyone complains about it, but there s not much you can do about it. On Friday night, the U.S. Senate approved a 700-mile high-tech border barrier in a bid to stop the immigrant flow. The decision, a seminal event in the two neighbors relations, has left many Mexicans wondering if the open door to the north is closing. Some Mexicans saw the vote as a collective slap in the face that highlighted… [cont.]

Q. Campfire remains in the Valley of Mexico, have been radiocarbon-dated to 21,000 BCE, and a few chips of stone tools have been found near the hearths, indicating the presence of humans at that time.[23] Around 9,000 years ago, ancient indigenous peoples domesticated corn and initiated an agricultural revolution, leading to the formation of many complex civilizations. Between 1,800 and 300 BCE, many matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as: the Olmec, the Teotihuacan, the Maya, the Zapotec, the Mixtec, the Toltec and the Aztec, which flourished for nearly 4,000 years before the first contact with Europeans. Credited with many inventions and advancements including pyramid-temples, mathematics, astronomy, medicine… [cont.]

Would I look under Mexico?
Q. I'm looking for records that date back to early 1700-1800 for Camargo, Tamaulipas and some records I have list the city and state but Nueva Espana (New Spain) as the country or province. If I'm using the pilot search engine on FamilySearch.org would I look under Mexico? Also, the Rio Grande Valley (borderlands) were Mexico at the time, so would Mexico have kept these records or would they have been kept in what is now South Texas? Thanks in advance. The records I seek are baptism records, and documentation on land grants. For example, The person I'm researching was born abt 1701 and was the father of one of the original grantees for the Spanish land grants. Land that is by the way still in my husbands family. The original land grant… [cont.]

A. In most cases.. a record is kept by the jurisdiction in place at the time the record happened. If it were a church in South Texas, that could be an exception.. the record *could* be maintained by the (physical) church.. which was in Mexico at one time, but later became "located" in Texas. The boundaries changed..the location did not. Older records are more likely in Mexico. The same idea as above applies. The physical location is what is NOW Mexico, but Mexico was under Spanish ownership at early times. Much depends on exactly what the record is.. or.. if a document exists. Is it possible that the dates being used, are based on later sources, that refer BACK? Example.. a book written in 1850, as a bio of someone, that got their info from… [cont.]
