Mexico family genealogy research and how to find your Mexican father, mother, relatives, birth parents and friends in Mexico made easier.

Meet Richard

Richard Villasana is possibly the foremost expert on uniting people with their relatives and friends in Mexico. He has advised and helped over 3,000 people to find and be reunited with their family and friends living in Mexico.

He has also been called an authority on the 1st 100 years of Mexico Family History. Genealogists call this period from 1907 to the present the 1st 100 years and the most difficult period to do family genealogy. Why? Because personal records are guarded for privacy reasons and not released to the public or put online until a person has been deceased for 71 years or more.

"I was speechless. I dialed the number you gave me and was talking to my son's grandmother."

Jennifer had been searching for years for any relatives of her son's father. Her little boy was starting to ask about his father, and as any caring mother, Jennifer wanted to make one of her son's dreams come true. "I had lost all hope of ever finding my son's relatives in Mexico."

Jennifer wrote, "I was speechless. I dialed one of the numbers you gave me and I was talking to my son's grandmother. There is no way I can ever completely express my gratitude. I hope you will continue...so that you can make other people as happy as you have made me. I want you to know that as I write this I have tears of joy."

People now have a place to get direction, answers and hope. Hundreds are now back with their family and friends in Mexico.

Richard was recently asked how he got started. "I was always good at finding people. As more companies heard of my expertise on doing profitable business in Mexico, associates would ask me to find a particular business owner in Mexico. In the past several years I started getting more requests to find relatives and friends living in Mexico. I saw a real need for this expertise, and the idea of helping others be reunited sounded like an incredible opportunity."

I told the reporter that when I receive an email from a client telling me they were crying because they found their mother or they thank me and say "God bless you", I mean, what is there to say? It's that open, emotional honesty that just makes me feel so lucky to have been able to do something that made such a difference for this person. They trusted me, and I was able to come through for them. Life just doesn't get better than that."
