So Cal meeting - a question
I've looked at all the messages regarding the SoCal meeting - but
haven't found information regarding the proceedings of the meeting
(except for the wonderful lunch the rest of us missed; excuse me for
drooling). What was the agenda? What things were discussed? Could
someone please share some insights into what went on in the meeting,
what you got out of it, and if you will schedule another. Thanks for

Dear primos, family, and friends. . .
Hope all are well in this season of spontanous weather changes . . .
To facilitate searching through previous issues of Somos Primos, my
grandson Luke have created a single file of all the Tables of
Contents for the 2002-2005 issues.
All the Tables of Contents are connected, which means you can do a category
search based on the division in Somos Primos, such as BLACK or SPAIN,
or a keyword search on the titles. An overview of the
contents of Issues 2000 and 2001 is facilitated by the use of a subject
index created by John P. Schmal.
Once you have identified the issues of interest, then go the homepage
and click to any issue of interest. Hope this helps.

NARA Border Crossing Records
Last September, at the Hispanic Genealogy Conference held @NARA,
Washington, DC, one of the presentations had to do with "Mexican
Border Crossing (Immigration) Records. The presentation was given by
Claire Prechtel-Kluskens, and most of the details of her presentation
can be found at the following NARA site:
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/immigration/border-mexico.html
It is very detailed, and should be read with care.
