  • Baptism Info - Emilie Garcia
By josiett | Tue, 2015-12-01 18:37

Hi Emilie,

I also use Ancestral Quest (now in the Mac version) and I love it!

What I do in a situation like yours is that in the "Edit - Individual" section I put the name of the town and the state as well as the country. I put all the details in the "Edit - Notes" field, such as the name of the parish, etc. That is also where I post my source. I use the "Edit - Notes" field to put everything about the individual even including the names of the priest, the padrinos, etc.

I know AQ has a better set-up for sources but this is the way I have always done it.......and I prefer everything in one place......the "Notes" section.......but that is just me.

Good luck!

For example, one record from the early 1800s has the Baptism listed at the church in San Diego de Alexandria, and the first sentence says "encomienda de Jalpa", and the child was born at "Rancho de Calabasas". For "baptized at" do I enter Jalpa, San Diego de Alexandria, and in Birth place I guess I enter Rancho de Calabasas, Jalpa, San Diego de Alexandria, Jalisco, Mexico"?

I am confused because here in the US we only have States, Counties (or Parishes), and Municipalities. It seems in Mexico they seem to have many more classifications of localities, such as encomiendas, jurisdiction, hacienda, rancho, etc.

Thank you,
