Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am doing my husband's geneology. His descendants are from Aguascalientes, Mexico. I am new at this Family Geneology searching but I think I made some real strides last night. I went to Familysearch.org looking for my husband Hector's grandmother on his father's side. I noticed that Mexico was one of the choices for location so I gave it a try. Boy, I hit the jackpot. I found his father's birth info, grandparents, great grandparents, and I think even great,greats! Here is a summary of what I found:

I am very interested in more information on Luis Esparza's family tree. I think he may have moved to the states as day laborer and may have had another family in the states. He also had a son named Jesus Esparza, my husband's godfather who was born after Martin Gamez, my husband's father. My husband would really like to speak to anyone who knew his father Martin because he left the household when my husband was very young and never had contact. He found that he died in 1988 right before he had a search company find his records. Heart breaking to say the least. I hope I helped any of you out with the info. Any info would greatly be appreciated!

You're going to have to find your local Family History center and order
some films. All those records you found should have had a film number
associated with them so that is where you will start. Even though you
found this information online you'll still need to verify it on the film
and give your references as to exactly where you found it. Once you look
at the marriage record you might find where your Luis was from so you
can look for records in that area.
go to www.familysearch.org and find you closest FHC with the best hours
for you to do research. Go there pay them a visit and order a couple of
films.
if you find the location of your Luis start calling the Esparza's in
that location to see if you find someone that remembers him.
