Ancestry updates Border Crossings: From Mexico to U.S., 1895-1957

Canadians, and others, have been visiting Mexico and returning via the USA for decades. Many of them are in an index of aliens, and some US citizens, crossing into the U.S. from Mexico via various ports of entry between 1895 and 1957. I found several people of interest, including former National Archivist Arthur Doughty.

The database on Ancestry covers: Ajo, Lukeville, and Sonoyta, Arizona (Jan. 1919-Dec. 1952) and Los Ebanos, Texas (Dec. 6, 1950-May 26, 1955); Douglas, Arizona (Jul. 1908–Dec. 1952); Douglas, Arizona (Sept. 10-1906-Oct. 10, 1955); Naco, Arizona (1908-1952); Nogales, Arizona (Jul. 1905-1952); San Luis, Arizona (Jul. 24, 1929-Dec. 1952); Sasabe/San Fernando, Arizona (1919-1952); Andrade and Campo (Tecate), California (1910-1952); Calexico, California (1907-1952); San Ysidro (Tia Juana), California (Apr. 21, 1908-Dec. 1952); Columbus, New Mexico (1917-1954); Brownsville, Texas (Feb. 1905-Mar. 31, 1957); Eagle Pass, Texas (Jun. 1905-Jun. 1953); El Paso, Texas (May 1909-Oct. 1924); El Paso, Texas (ca.
