US Government Genealogy Resources

A friend of mine sent me this link to an article that appeared in the LA Times. It's about the resources that the US goverment provides for genealogy research. I have not used this service yet but I thought it might be helpful to others. Although our concentration is for a specific area of Mexico, I think this service could provide us with invaluable information as many of our ancestors emigrated to the US.
