Help With Questions

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

okay some have problems with finding out the "Where" in Mexico they came 
from. I want to eventually get interviews with people in INS and Social 
Security and other gov't offices to see what information is freely open 
to the public that might give clues on where in Mexico people came from.
Can you all email me directly with your thoughts on what questions can 
be asked of people high up in these organizations. I'd like to go 
prepared and can only think of these questions:
1) With regards to the freedom of information act what info is available 
to the general public in (their organization).
2) On the records that are available what kind of information is usually 
collected?
3) What time periods did these records cover?

4) What preliminary work can the information seeker perform to 
facilitate the look up of records?
5) Are there specific forms that need to be used for information request?

6) Are there costs involved with requesting records? And if so what are 
they?
7) Is the informatin regarding your organization kept at one central 
location or might one need to contact various geographical locations of 
your organization to find their specific record needs?
8) Can you supply the address of locations on the internet where
    a) the address of each specific information center
     b) where information requesting forms can be downloaded
      c)  general contact information can be found

Help me with this please. I know I'm forgetting some important questions 
that I might only have a one time opportunity to ask. What would you 
like to know about some relative from some gov't organization that I 
have not listed above?
thanks,

joseph
