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 always enjoy the webinars and I learn so much from the Speakers~!!!
Brilliant webinar with lots of great information to help research our own Mexican Ancestors.
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!
Really great info. I do not have anyone as far as I Know that crossed the Mexican Border, but I a good number of family that crossed the Canadian Border.
WOW, Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! Definitely one of the best. Excellent explanation of information, wonderful handout, and Ms. Robledo Greene provided a wealth of information.
