I need to know where I can order Birth and Death Records for Jalisco, Mexico.
My grandparents are Jose Mena & Juana (Born Valderrama) I received a marriage record for them from Armando on this site. Thank you very much Armando.

My grandfather Jose was born on March 19 1904 in Union de San Antonio. His parents are Jesus Mena and Juana Lopez. I can’t find Baptismal record on Jesus & Juana or any of their other children, if they had any. I’m still looking for Jose’s baptismal record on family search & my heritage website. No Luck.

My grandmother Juana Valderrama was born on June 24 1907 in Lagos de Moreno. Her parents are Nabor Valderrama and Jacinta Prado. I do know that Nabor & Jacinta had 5 children. But can’t find Juana’s baptismal record.

I need to find out when my great grandparents where born and where. I appreciate any help you can give me. I will order birth and death records. But I don’t know where to go to find them. Thank you Laurie Machen

Laurie,

Myheritage does not index records. That site is useless for Mexican genealogy.

The best way to find more information on the parents of Jose Mena & Juana Valderrama is by continuing to look for the marriage records of their parents and baptisms and civil birth records of the siblings of José Mena and Juana Valderrama. The civil records have indexes a lot of times. Since Valderrama was sometimes spelled incorrectly as Balderrama you should look through the indexes for all of the Balderrama and Valderrama births and marriages.

I uploaded a spreadsheet with the page numbers of the indexes that I have found in the civil records of Lagos to https://www.dropbox.com/s/rysd5egkypoduzt/Lagos%20Civil.xlsx

The civil records of La Unión can be found at https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysea…
