Let's Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month - Celebraremos Nacional Mes de la Hispanidad


National Hispanic Heritage Month runs 15 September through 15 October annually. Let’s Celebrate!   ‪#‎HispanicHeritageMonth &‪ #‎HHM

There is a whole website dedicated to paying tribute to Hispanic Americans.

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.

As family historians, a way that we pay tribute to Hispanic ancestry is by making sure that we document our Hispanic ancestors.  Here are some Upfront with NGS posts to facilitate you doing just that -- Cinco de Mayo - Let's Research Hispanic Heritage! (2015), Hispanic Genealogy & You -- La genealogía Hispana y usted (2014), and Online Genealogy for Latinos -- Somos Primos and other resources! (2013).

Don’t forget that the Library of Congress has a Hispanic Reading Room with a lot of helpful resources.

Cinco de Mayo - Let's Research Hispanic Heritage!


Cinco de Mayo is TODAY.  Many will celebrate this holiday even if not of Mexican heritage!

That doesn’t mean though that those of Mexican heritage can’t both celebrate the holiday and also their ancestry.

Kimberly Powell (About.com) has posted today about Researching Mexican Ancestors.  I suggest just visiting directly her collection Genealogy of Mexico – Tracing Mexican Ancestors.

Upfront with NGS has also posted previously on this topic -- Hispanic Genealogy & You -- La genealogía Hispana y usted.  Since there are always some new resources that become available, here are a couple more.

+ Mexican Genealogy (check out the posts on Mexican Newspaper Archives, 500 Years of Mexican Documents) & associated Facebook (FB) page, Mexican Genealogy
+ Cyndi’s List -- Mexico


Do you have Hispanic/Mexican ancestry? ¿Tiene ascendencia hispana/mexicano?

What else would you add to this resource list? ¿Qué más se puede agregar a esta lista de recursos?

Editor’s Note: Note that many browsers including Google Chrome have a translate feature that you can enable to translate websites from languages other than English, such as Spanish, into English.  We don’t always speak the language of our ancestors!
Nota del Editor: Tenga en cuenta que muchos navegadores como Google Chrome tienen una característica traducir que se puede habilitar para traducir sitios web de otros idiomas aparte del inglés, como el español, en inglés. ¡No siempre hablamos la lengua de nuestros antepasados!

Call for Guest Bloggers -- Ethnic Communities Found Within the United States -- Genealogy/Family History Research into!

Source: http://allthingslearning.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/blogging-guest-bloggers-welcome.jpg
Upfront with NGS is considering a series of blog posts focusing on “ethnic” research.  The initial primary focus is research for ethnic communities found within the United States though we hope to expand the list of topics in the near future to be more global.

We would like to use a format of Top XX tips or Top XX resources for XX research.

Initially we would like to publish posts about the following topics:
·    Jewish Genealogy (גניאלוגיה יהודית)
·    Native American Genealogy
·    African American Genealogy
·    French-Canadians who migrated down from Canada (Généalogie Canadienne-Française)
·    Hispanic Genealogy (Genealogía Hispana)
·    any other ethnic group for which research into presents special genealogy research challenges

If you consider yourself an expert on one or more of these topics, please e-mail us at UpFront@ngsgenealogy.org with a proposed blog post or hyperlinks to previously written material on the topic which you would like to consider!

Requirements include:
·    Minimum length of 600 words.  Depending on length, a post might become a series such as with the DNA series by Roberta Estes earlier this year.
·    Includes at least one graphic.
·    No remuneration is provided.
·    Author is given a 50 word byline + one hyperlink (at the end of the post).

Upfront with NGS is always looking for quality submissions by “guest bloggers.”  Topics need to be about a genealogy (family history) related or a relatable topic. Broad appeal is preferable to very narrow/specific topics. Are you an expert or passionate about something genealogical? If so, please submit a proposal. If it’s relevant to genealogy researchers, it will be considered. Some topic suggestions include: free and/or large databases, research techniques, new technology, resources, DNA testing, etc.
