Researching marriage records in Mexico - namely Chihuaha
My girlfriend's father is from Mexico. He was born in Chihuaha, and his parents were named Emiliano Urias, and Librada Saenz. He was born in 1957 or so. He never knew his father besides a few stray details and a couple of pictures, and I told him I was into genealogy and that I'd see what i could uncover about the guy.
Supposedly, he was from Sinaloa originally, and got married in Chihuahua and had a family in one of the towns there (maybe Cuauhtemoc?) before getting together with my girlfriend's father's mother. I guess he essentially had two families there. He was out of their life when he was young. My problem is this - I don't have a ton of experience working with records from Mexico, and I haven't been able to uncover any marriage records on ancestry or familysearch about an Emiliano Urias from that time (40's/50's) and i'm wondering if any of you fine folk have tips regarding looking into this kind of thing, as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
