-Many of the sources listed above in the section '''Useful record types''' are available in the United States and can be very helpful in finding the name of the hometown of your Spanish ancestor. The following may also be helpful.

-*Border Crossing Records if your ancestor went to Mexico and then later crossed into the United States. These records are for the years 1895-1957. Indexes are available on FamilySearch. Indexes and images are available on Ancestry.com, which is a subscription website which you may be able to access at your local FamilySearch center or public library.
-*[https://familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://familysearch.org/searchapi/search/collection/1202535 Social Security Death Index (SSDI)]. If your ancestor is listed in the Social Security Death Index it would be very important to order a copy of their application for a Social Security Card as it should contain their birthplace in Spain. You can order a copy from the [http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-711.pdf Social Security Administration]. You can search the SSDI at FamilySearch.
-*[https://familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://familysearch.org/searchapi/search/collection/1968530 World War I Draft Registrations.] All males between the age of 17 and 45 were required to register for the draft in 1917. If your ancestor fit these criteria, you may find his birthplace listed on his draft registration card even if he was not a U.S. citizen but was living in the United States. You can search the indexes and view the images of these records at FamilySearch and Ancestry.com.
-*[http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/aliens/a-files-kansas-city.html Alien Registrations]. From 1940-1944 all foreigners living within the boundaries of the United States were required to register their presence in the country. Indexes to these records are searchable online from the [http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/ National Archives]. If you find the name of a person who could be your ancestor, write to the National Archives for more information about the person in question before sending for a copy of the records. They will be able to give you more information about the person in question to help you determine if it really is your ancestor.
