Browsing throught the Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library in Edinburg, Texas, I found a great little reference book titled Fechas Historicas de Mexico (Historical Mexican Dates) by Fernando Orozco Linares, printed in Mexico back in 1993 by Panorama Editorial. It Provides historical date from pre-Hispanic Mexico all the way up to 1991.
It is a good book if you are here at the library but it got me thinking well how can I help someone that is not here. I did a search and I found the same timeline of Mexican history dates online and here is the link Fechas Historicas de Mexico, and it is by the same author as the book. It is being maintained by the Facultad de Ingenieria de La Universidad de Queretaro.
Preview book at www.worldcat.org you can also search for a library near you that may have the book.
This is a great resource to get a good historical context of your ancestors Mexico during their lifetime. The events in this book must have had touched every Mexican in one way or another. If anyone needs help translating Spanish to English let me know I may be able to help.
