Looking for ancestors who lived in, passed through, or died in Latin America? The Internet contains many rich repositories where you can learn about them — and these resources, which can be searched in English or Spanish, are growing each day.
In this session, we learned how to access these resources, contact the communities and people that can help, and use the tools you need to make the most of them. Daniel also provided a quick introduction to the Spanish keywords and translation tools that can help you overcome language barriers and unearth fascinating details about your ancestors located in South America.
