Mexico’s 1930 national census (“El Quinto Censo General de Población y Vivienda 1930, México”) is both the largest and most recent Mexican census to be made available to the public. With approximately 12.8 million names, the 1930 Mexico National Census database is a good starting place for Mexican research in that era, especially if family, vital, or religious records are missing.
