How can you search your genealogy roots in Cadiz Spain? Especially in the 17th century?
Hi Avery.
I am not familiar with that geographic area or time period. I suggest you review the FamilySearch Wiki, if you haven not already done so. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Spain_Genealogy

I am legally blind, but can see print if it is dark. Struggling to read this light gray print. Can’t find how to sign up but did sign up for your blog. How will I be able to participate?
Hi Margot.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention that the light gray print/font color is difficult for you to read. I will adjust it to a much darker color this week.
You can sign up on DearMYRTLE’s website. She is the organizer and host.Hello.
