Hello,
In a previous post, I asked the question of how much interest existed for indexed information from the Obispado de Michoacan records. Given the replies offline, there is interest. While I was not aware that Katy Albrect was already thinking of doing the same... I had already gone ahead (A couple of weeks ago) and have a website and some records already indexed. For the time being and until I figure out how I can collaborate with Katy on this, you can view the indexed records I have here:
http://www.valladoliddispensas.com
It has a whopping total of 4 1/2 (almost finished with the fifth) indexed films. It's a humble start, but, as we figure out how to collaborate, I hope it will grow in one way or another. There are over a 1000 films to index! The task will take more than any one person to get through.
In the first batch of indexes, I already see records for Ocotlan, Poncitlan, and La Barca, that I hope will be useful to this group, along with the other info for families that originated in Michoacan, Guanajuato, and San Luis Potosi.
In the meantime, enjoy!
P.S. if you have any feedback on the website, I'm all ears. (themexican@outlook.com)

100 films have been indexed from the archives of Michoacan!
Hello,
It's been a little over a year since I first posted about starting the Valladolid (Morelia, Michoacan) dispensa project. I'm very happy to report that we've just indexed our 100th film!
I wanted to publicly thank all the volunteers that have made this possible so quickly! We have a long way to go, but, we've made good progress and for that I thank each and every one of you who have helped!
For everyone else, if you haven't checked out the website, please check it out. While your focus might be on the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Aguascalientes... You'll be surprised to find out that some of our/your ancestors from Jalisco, etc had roots in the Obispado de Michoacan, i.e. modern-day Michoacan, Colima, San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, and Guerrero. Please come on over and as we have a nice selection of indexed films from the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s.
Here's the link to website:
