The project goals are to clarify the problems that the gap in the paper trial has left the Cervantes history in Mexico and Spain. Such as:

1) Do most Cervantes’ from Mexico or Spain descend from a single progenitor?
2) Where there are gaps in the paper trial, hopefully sibling relationships can be made that can enable one to follow the records of a sibling that are more clear.
3) Were there name changes, are there people with the surname Cervantes that are descendant from other surnames or visa versa.
