Indexing Project Update: U.S., Texas, Del Rio—Alien Arrivals, 1906–1953
Do you have ancestors from Europe, Syria, Japan, Turkey, Guatemala, or Korea? Would you have ever thought to check the Mexico border crossing records to find them? Many immigrants from around the world entered the U.S. through Mexico ports because it was often a more cost-effective or convenient option. 
You may find valuable information about your early 20th-century ancestors in Mexican border crossing records. These records contain information about the place of birth of immigrants, how they arrived in Mexico, their last residence, family relationships, their occupation, hair and eye color, and an explanation of why they came to the United States.
The U.S., Texas, Del Rio—Alien Arrivals, 1906–1953 is a great project to try. It is an advanced project; however, many of the cards are typed. You may really enjoy indexing or arbitrating the interesting and valuable information in these records. Give it a try! If the first batch you download is too hard, try another one.
