Have you ever wondered where you come from? Who were your ancestors? What was their life like?
You probably know the name of your parents and grandparents, but what about your great-grandparents, or your great-great-grandparents? Finding Family & Ancestors is the result of Alejandra's genealogy search for the answers to these questions.
What started out as curiosity became a short-term obsession. Upon searching for other books on Indigenous Mexican families, she discovered that there was only a handful. This underrepresentation in books and literature, fueled her to move past sharing her findings with her family to publishing Finding Family & Ancestors. Contained within the story of her family we learn of a history that includes teenage pregnancies, infant mortality, racism, intentional erasure of Indigenous identity, and political opposition. On a universal level, the book will resonate with readers because this story speaks to the human experience of love, celebration, struggle, survival, and life.
Finding Family & Ancestors is a case study that includes real-life information from the historical documents that were located. This book also contains easy step-by-step instructions and a template to get you started in finding your family and ancestors. This work is meant to inspire all readers to research their own lineage and find their unique family stories.
