I live walking distance to NARA.  I can probably make it over 
sometime this week and look at the film for you.

There was somebody else in the group that I had promised to look 
for.  Can you please help out my memory.  It was a few months back 
but I have not been back since then.

I may put in a call tomorrow and find out and I'll

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.

The following NARA site has extensive information on their Immigration 
Records for Mexican Border Crossings. There is a lot of information - 
and I recommend that you read it carefully, despite its length - it is 
comprehensive. I don't think there is an index. Please NOTE - the 
filming of these records has not been completed, and may take about 
another 8-12 months to complete.

The NARA site is:

Carol, I thought our NARA here had El Paso records. The 1930 Census states that my grandmother came to El Paso in 1913 and my grandfather in 1918, so would I have to order 2 sets of records to come to KC's NARA or what? Thanks. Marge:)

Joseph, this is a good topic.



Since I have my grandfather's application "Registry of

an Alien", and he has provided me with good dates, at

least I hope these are good dates.



This is what he wrote down on his application:



He arrived in the states Dec. 15, 1908

Destination was To Campo Echizos, TX.

He states he was coming to remain permanently

He was accompanied by -  My brother Juan Muro and two

friends

He arrived at the port of  - El Paso de Lajitas, TX

I do have his Alien Card number.  His wife my

grandmother Maximina Lopez arrived here May 20, 1907 -

Port of Entry - El Paso.



Here in Kansas City at our NARA they do not have El

Paso records, however they do have Eagle Pass, TX.

The

I know that NARA has the following record available,
but I was unable to determine if I can order it
through my local family history center. It doesn't
appear that I can.

"A3379. Nonstatistical Manifests Statistical Index
Cards of Aliens Arriving at Laredo, Texas, May
1903-November 1929. 112 rolls. 16mm.---ROLL 77"

I'd prefer not to pay $65 to NARA for a roll that I'm
not even sure has information on my
great-grandparents: Nicanor Pineda and Emilia
Gonzalez. They came from Tlaltenango, Zacatecas to
Laredo in the 1920s. Can anyone help?
