I am new to the forums. I have located some documents that are for my father's family while they stayed for a time in Mexico City during their immigration to the US. I need some help translating and not sure where to go. Also I need to know whether it's common for the church in Mexico to update parishioner records after they have left the country? Thanks!

    Here is a link to a group that deals with Latin American records and research.

    I have used "Google Translate", which worked very well for me. You can access it on web browser. Try it and see if it works for you.

    Thanks, but I'm afraid I'm beyond that because they're handwritten records. Some of these are very difficult to read, and others don’t have much reference. Not knowing any Spanish, it’s difficult for me to try to run these through a translator app because sometimes context can help in deciphering handwriting.
