Marge, I'm not sure regarding our NARA records, it's
been almost two years since I've been there viewing
the Eagle Pass microfilm, and at that time they didn't
have El Paso films. I was told to contact NARA in TX.
I may put in a call tomorrow and find out and I'll
keep you posted, they may have these films now. I
hate to tell you this but Eagle Pass had about 26 or
more rolls of film, I'm sure I went through 4 rolls
just to check for Muro's in a three (1908-1911) time
frame. When I call, I'll find out who has El Paso
films and how they are indexed.
