The National Archives site provides a lot of background information - the why and how - of the border crossing records. See that information at this site:

Does anybody know how to obtain copies of land grants given to the Espanoles in Mexico? I know I descend from several HAcendados from old Mexico, but im most interested in the land grant made on Feb 17, 1899 in Huanusco, Zacatecas.

Who if anyone is doing Godoy/Godoi research either in Tlaltenango or
Tepechitlan? Possibly from a rancho called Rancho las Lunas?
I have a cousin who is doing this research and wanted to see if he has
Joseph, et al:
I am sorry that I never got around to going to look at these records. I know that a number of you had requested that I look up records for you. I believe that my grandfather is in these records as well.
Alice,
I finally found the page I used to register. I hope the link below works on your end. If it doesn't, it could be that they are overwhelmed with requests to register and can't handle them all. They tried to limit the number of users so they can effectively handle the feedback and work out the kinks in the pilot, so they might be blocking further requests for registration.
Has anyone ever seen an example of a padrino for a marriage or baptism
that wore the same surname of either the parents or the couple being
married that WASN'T a relative?
Example. A person wears the name of Garcia and he marries someone and in

I have been able to access Zacatecas, but it doesn't appear that Tlaltenango
is on the census data....
I haven't been able to access Tangacicuaro, Michoacan either (sigh).
But I've found some great data from Coahuila....verified the legacy of the
Below is a message I found on the webmaster's blog about problems with registration. Maybe this will help you.

Also, I was unable to see all that was on their drop-down menus due to the resolution on my computer. I have the lower resolution of 800 x 600 so the fonts and screen image appear larger due to my bad eyesight so I see only a part of the screen. Currently the pilot program is set to be viewed full screen at 1024 x 768 which would make everything look smaller on my computer, but the drop-down menus could be seen in their entirety.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can contact Deena Ortiz? Does about an ancestor in Nochistlan. Does anyone have her email? Thanks. -Daniel Mendez del Camino
Hi, Maureen:
I asked my local library and they do not get the ancestry.com site, so I was
disappointed. Thank-you for telling us how you managed to make the images
on the border crossing records print out larger!
Hi, Mary:
I found them on Ancestry.com. On their home page, they have data listing
next to the census record area of the page. I click on the part that says
"see all data bases," or something like that and it gives you a big list,
Hi, Alice and "Ybinsouthsac":
>From Arturo's link you can register for the pilot program. Click on "Register" without typing in your e-mail address at first, then the fields to register should come up. Otherwise you will just keep getting a message that your e-mail is not registered for the pilot program.
I have posted in the links section a new link to Lynn Turner's Hispanic Genealogy blog. The collection of information is very good and includes a link to the Mexico 1930 Census online.
I pretty sure all of you already know about the new website that will be relaunched on September 2008 by our church. I am told that they first will release the digitlized records for the Us. census 1790-1910 and then SEVERAL groups wll be assigned to get feed the master copier to make the records in HD to get the best picture and will actually clean the records for digitilizing.
Hi there Arturo ,
Thanks for this site , I've only just looked at it and it seems pretty good .
On a different note , I used to use the asterisk instead of a first name in Family Search IGI , but as you know they changed a few things on the site . Here's my question " Have you found a new way to duplicate the results from using either the * or the % " ?.
Hello Corrine,
Last night I went to my local FHC to view a microfilm that I had
requested, but got sidetracked when the volunteer asked if I had any
questions. The thought prompted by Tomas's earlier email regarding
I have noticed until now that some films state Hijos Legitimos, Hijos Naturales, Hijos Illegitimos and then just regular baptisms. Im having some truoble becuase im gonna orde rsome films but dont know the difference between these titles..Which one would you order or should i look at all of them? Thank You.
I have an applicant to the group that is trying to find living relatives
in Malpaso. She doesn't appear to want to do genealogical research but
that might change as I communicate with her. I told her to call all the

The Films database is now working correctly again, such that when you click on an IGI or VRI button, the site brings up the entire contents of that film/batch from which you can then refine further by clicking on the "Refine Search" link on the upper right of the screen.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone looked up military records through the Family History catalog and ordered them to their local center? I'd like to look up military records for Zacatecas, for 1865-1885, as my grandfather thinks his grandfather served in Zacatecas. I'd also like to do this through my local family center...can anyone help?
Good morning Esperanza ,
No , unfortunately no one has deciphered the meaning of any of the paintings or the petroglyphs . Jose Garza Carrillo told me that the best indian heads are in La Laguna in Coahuila . He and his son in law have written a book on the paintings and petroglyphs along with students and a professor from a university in the states .
Sorry it took so long Welester, but I have finally uploaded the pictures
I was suppose to upload back in early May.
these pictures are fabulous and everyone should see what our ancestors
were up to many many hundreds of years ago:
Hello,
I've recently joined this group as I have begun researching the ancestors of Juan Vargas (b 1890 in Malpaso, Zacatecas; d 1962 in El Paso, Texas) and his wife Maximina Bautista (b 1898; d 1936 in El Paso, Texas)
