Border Crossing records are indexed and available at FamilySearch.org.<br> | |||
[https://familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://familysearch.org/searchapi/search/collection/1803932 Border Crossings From Mexico to United States, 1903-1957]<br> | |||
To use these records, search the indexes first trying to locate the date and place where your ancestor might have crossed the border. Images of many of these records have been microfilmed and can be located in the Family History Library Catalog searching under the location and time period where and when the immigrant crossed the border. | |||
These records usually list the name, age, birth date, and birth place of the immigrant, as well as the date of their crossing, their intended destination, and the names of others who may have been traveling with them. Some records include pictures. You can also locate these records on the subscription website [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1082 Ancestry.com]. Their database includes the images of the records. Access to this website can be obtained at the [https://familysearch.org/locations/saltlakecity-library Family History Library] and at many local [https://familysearch.org/locations family history centers] and public libraries. | |||
