Welcome to Hispanic Genealogical Research

Studying family ancestors allows you to trace your lineage. By starting with yourself and working backwards you can explore how you came to be. Begin by talking with living relatives, the older the better and put together a pedigree chart. Go into the attic, closet, garage, look in the old shoe box or trunk and find the cerificates, documents, letters, notes and pictures.  Get names and places and dates. Find out who is hanging in your family tree!

The Texana/Genealogy Department is a Reference Only Collection. The materials are not allowed to leave the department, however, copies of some of the books are available for check out in the circulating collection.

This guide is designed to introduce you to books, databases, web sites, and information on microfilm related to Hispanic Genealogical Research.
