SANCHIZ RUIZ, Javier  and  GOMEZ GALLARDO LATAPI, Juan. Searching documentary traces of a Mexican presidential family: López Mateos. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2016, n.51, pp.132-153. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ehmcm.2016.04.001.

Genealogical research on the Lopez Mateos family, to which belonged the president of Mexico Adolfo Lopez Mateos (1958-1964), provides the location of his birth and baptism certificates. These documents make it possible to know, beyond any doubt, both his birthplace, as the exact date thereof; and the circumstances that led to the makeup and document alteration, which have been used by official history since 1958.
