I have been able to access Zacatecas, but it doesn't appear that Tlaltenango
is on the census data....

I haven't been able to access Tangacicuaro, Michoacan either (sigh).

But I've found some great data from Coahuila....verified the legacy of the

Alice,

I finally found the page I used to register. I hope the link below works on your end. If it doesn't, it could be that they are overwhelmed with requests to register and can't handle them all. They tried to limit the number of users so they can effectively handle the feedback and work out the kinks in the pilot, so they might be blocking further requests for registration.

Below is a message I found on the webmaster's blog about problems with registration. Maybe this will help you.

Also, I was unable to see all that was on their drop-down menus due to the resolution on my computer. I have the lower resolution of 800 x 600 so the fonts and screen image appear larger due to my bad eyesight so I see only a part of the screen. Currently the pilot program is set to be viewed full screen at 1024 x 768 which would make everything look smaller on my computer, but the drop-down menus could be seen in their entirety.

I was wondering if anyone knows how I can contact Deena Ortiz? Does about an ancestor in Nochistlan. Does anyone have her email? Thanks. -Daniel Mendez del Camino

Hi, Maureen:

I asked my local library and they do not get the ancestry.com site, so I was
disappointed. Thank-you for telling us how you managed to make the images
on the border crossing records print out larger!

Hi, Mary:

I found them on Ancestry.com. On their home page, they have data listing
next to the census record area of the page. I click on the part that says
"see all data bases," or something like that and it gives you a big list,

That's great! It's amazing how we find some of our ancestors information.
Good luck and I will keep posting on my findings. I, too, usually stick to
just the microfilms for information.

Hi, Alice and "Ybinsouthsac":

>From Arturo's link you can register for the pilot program. Click on "Register" without typing in your e-mail address at first, then the fields to register should come up. Otherwise you will just keep getting a message that your e-mail is not registered for the pilot program.

I pretty sure all of you already know about the new website that will be relaunched on September 2008 by our church. I am told that they first will release the digitlized records for the Us. census 1790-1910 and then SEVERAL groups wll be assigned to get feed the master copier to make the records in HD to get the best picture and will actually clean the records for digitilizing.

The National Archives site provides a lot of background information - the why and how - of the border crossing records. See that information at this site:
