Thanks to everyone who entered their information.  I think it will 
become very benificial to all of us.

What I think is good about the database is that when you open it up, 
you are given that "Search This Table" input box.  If you type in a 
surname or a location, it lists out all the people searching that 
surname and or location.  A very useful feature, be sure to try it.

The fields in the table are: Name
Email Address    {optional}[but provide it anyway, jp]
Research Surnames    {Surnames you are researching.}
Research Location    {Cities, Towns, Ranchos that your ancestors are from.}
My Location    {Your current location - optional}

you can request that the applications our relatives filled out for US residency or Citizenship be sent to you. It is possible that if you are looking for a location in Mexico that these applications might have that information.

Are you asking how does one go about applying for US citizenship or
permanent residency?

Freedom of Information Act

I used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the petition and
naturalization papers of my Dad.  Those documents contained quite a bit of
information -- his wife's name, where he was living, his race, his employment
career, children he had had, the port he used to come into the United States,
etc.  It helped quite a bit, but unfortunately, what I was looking for was
not correct.  He indicated he was born in Nuevo Laredo, but I found out he
used that city only because he had relatives there and didn't know where or when
he was born.  However, if the information had been correct, it would have
provided valuable information regarding his past.

No I'm sorry I don't know any Campos or Alvarez.  I actually had 
never heard of Momax until just a few days ago, but my Mom knew 
about it.

Hi There:

I am a Ranchos group member also.  Welcome to the group!  I noticed you said you have family from Zacatecas?  I know it is a big state, but I was wondering if you know any Campos or Alvarez from around the Momax areas!  Also, Jalisco, in the area of Colotlan?

Thanks,
Carol Lester (NanaCarolL@...)

TERRIFIC!!!



thanks much. So am i correct in understanding that if our relatives
submitted anything (app for citizen, app for residency, app for green
card, app for ???) that it would be in a file somewhere? So by
completing this form and sending it in with a "send me all you have"
letter on your grandparents then that is the complete procedure? do you
have to prove relationship? do you have to prove that the individual is
deceased? do you have an idea of how far back in time they have records?



thanks,



joseph

There is a form, G-639, Freedom of Information form that you may fill out and request any & all info about your relatives original applications & subsequent applications.  When you submit this form, you are required to fill in as much info as possible.  You submit it, and if they locate the file, they will send you a bill.  This bill usually costs about $25.00.  There is tons of info on these forms.  However, the only draw back is the wait time for them to send this to you.
 
The last one I submitted back in December came in the 1st part of May.  It was well worht the wait, as this young lady had no idea where her father was from and now we have the ranch & all.  I know they are thinking about changing some of the regulations regarding
