I busted down yet another 15+ year brick wall two days ago, finding the last two border crossing records for the Mexico-born members of my paternal grandfather’s family, who immigrated here in 1915. Reviewing border records for this family of four led me to a new discovery, which involves another family history road trip this fall!
#52Ancestors: Fourth great-grandfather Jose Victoriano Compean exemplifies Mexican naming conventions
