Southwestern Research with Michelle Mickelson Part 2 - Church, Cemetery, Native American, and Spanish Records The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast

In this podcast episode, hosts Diana, Nicole, talk with Michelle Mickelson, AG, and discuss the crucial role of church, cemetery, Native American, and Spanish language records in Southwestern genealogy. They emphasize that these records, often predating government documentation, are indispensable for exploring family relationships, migration patterns, and cultural practices through details found in baptism, marriage, and burial entries. The discussion covers a variety of denominations including Catholic, Episcopal, and Methodist, among others. They also offer strategies for accessing these records, whether through diocesan archives, historical societies, or online platforms like FamilySearch and Ancestry.com. The hosts highlight the unique insights that cemetery records can provide, and discuss specific records for Hispanic and Native American ancestries prevalent in the Southwest. They stress the importance of both online and physical archives for a comprehensive genealogical search, sharing a case study on efficient research methods for accessing Spanish Catholic church records.
