    Great presentation! Learned plenty of new info, have replayed (and will continue to replay) parts multiple times.

    I have many ancestors who crossed the border, some even crossed back + at least 2-3 ancestors who were naturalized, but only able to find a 1-2pg doc for each, but not all documents

    About 12 min in is the chart of record collections for Texas .. thank you for that, but I want to know .. Is that list available on FamilySearch or did you create it for your presentation? If the former, would you please provide a link? If the latter, would you mind updating the syllabus with it (w/active links)? Thanks!

    I have found some family that came from Germany through Mexico. This will be a big help in my research. Thanks.

    I’ve been researching my family genealogy for decades (began before records digitzed), but was completely unaware of the use of the AR#s. I believe I have a number of border crossing records displaying those numbers. I’m looking forward to this new avenue of information!

    Awesome! Lots of very good information! I ‘tuned’ in today in the hopes of learning how to research earlier New Mexico records, but I will check for more webinars on that subject!
