Finding Addresses in Mexico


By Corrine Ardoin - Posted on 20 February 2007

One of the clues I thought would help me to find the correct microfilm to
order for my greatgrandfather's civil death record, Alberto Martin del
Campo, was an address on his death notice my mother's mother had received
from the church where his funeral was. The church, Nuestra Santa Madre
Iglesia Catolica in Guadalajara, does not seem to be in the Family History
Catalog, but I could still find the civil death record in order to find more
information on him and his family. So, as I was saying, the clue is an
address that was where the mourning was to take place before the funeral
procession to the Municipal Cemetery in Guadalajara. The address is "casa
No. 553 de la calle Arista." This was in July of 1941. I have tried to
find Arista Street on maps to no avail and wondered if the address is like
ours in the States, where it would read: 553 Arista Street. Of course, on
maps I assume it would read "calle de Arista." Would anyone know how I
could pin down this address? I think it may have been where my
greatgrandfather's family lived at the time, or perhaps a relative that may
link me further along in my search.

Thanks!
