Genealogy Research

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.

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:

Hola a todos. ¿Cómo están?

Mi nombre es Ricardo Chávez Ruiz Esparza, nací en Aguascalientes, Ags, hace 30 años y he estado investigando esporádicamente desde hace un año la genealogía de mis apellidos (Chávez, Ruiz Esparza), así como los apellidos maternos de mis padres (Estevané, Castillo).

Hi there Arturo ,
Thanks for this site , I've only just looked at it and it seems pretty good .

On a different note , I used to use the asterisk instead of a first name in Family Search IGI , but as you know they changed a few things on the site . Here's my question " Have you found a new way to duplicate the results from using either the * or the % " ?.
