If you had family living in Mexico in 1930, the new Ancestry.com release of
the 1930 Mexico National Census (El Quinto Censo General de Población y
Vivienda 1930, México) is of interest for you! This the most comprehensive
historical Mexican census available online. It is estimated that this
census counted approximately 90 percent of the population, (citizens from
the Federal District, which includes Mexico City, were not included in the
collection). The census includes approximately 12.8 million  names. Ancestry
is making this census free on-line and the plan is to keep this census
free. Mexico's first federal census was taken in 1895 and starting in 1900
censuses were taken every 10 years.

interest of the readers who may have an interest in the Mexico 1930 census.
