Book Series Update:
The first book in my genealogy series focused on families from the Sonora / San Miguel de Horcasitas region is already available, beginning with an in-depth study of the Arvizu family. More volumes are currently in the works, each built from the same rich Spanish and Mexican records that make this region so compelling for research.
If your roots trace back to Sonora or northern Mexico, or if you’re interested in well-documented frontier families, this series is just getting started, and there’s much more to come.
