I am over at the National Archives looking up border crossing records and am having no luck finding El Paso crossings from 1916. Does anybody know if these crossings are available on microfilm anywhere? The college student staff member who is working here tonight told me that those years for El Paso are not filmed… but I want to make sure.

On a brighter note, Chris Pineda, I have found the border crossing records for your great-grandparents Nicanor Pineda and Emilia Gonzalez.

Do these border crossing records work the same way as when we order records from LDS FHC? Where is it located…..besides the 1916 records, I think there are others I’d like to look at….

Arturo,

 

I just remembered something.  When I went to the NARA office in
Seattle when I was first starting to research census records when the 1930
census came out, but was not online, I asked about other records and they told
me that there were some El Paso border crossing records in their Northern and
Southern California NARA offices, but not there in Seattle.  The office I
sent my poor sister to look in was in San Bruno, CA near San Francisco. 
She went once and was quite discouraged at the process of searching films, and
she never went back.  The other office they told me about was one in Laguna
Miguel in Southern California. I wonder if anyone in the group lives close
to either of those offices and could go and inquire about the 1916 border
crossings for El Paso, TX.

Arturo,

 

Would it be possible for you to post an actual scanned  sample of what
the border crossing records look like?  I am curious as to what they look
like, what info is on them, etc. 

 

thanks,

Here’s the online link to the NARA’s catalog, where you can locate films, find their locations at NARA sites, and even order a film for purchase.  http://www.archives.gov/research/order/orderonline.html?microfilm

 

The Laguna Niguel branch has two films for El Paso: A3365, El Paso Lists of Aliens, 1903-1909, and M1757, El Paso Lists of Aliens Granted Temporary Admissions, 19241954, but I know they are continuing to film.  I’ve been to the Laguna Niguel branch, and it is a federal building, so security is strict.  Cell phones with cameras are not permitted, nor are any cameras at all.  The border criossing records, which is what I went to see, usually had name, age, some physical descriptions, last residence, and where they are headed.  Some of the films were alphabetical, but not all. 

The workers there will help you with some general questions, but the real help can come from the volunteers who sit at he volunteer desk.  I didn’t ask for help, but they do try to help, although most are trained on American historical wars and the like, rather than just Mexican immigration.

 

I hope this helps.
