Re: [ranchos] Freedom of Information Act


 
I used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the petition and naturalization papers of my Dad.  Those documents contained quite a bit of information -- his wife's name, where he was living, his race, his employment career, children he had had, the port he used to come into the United States, etc.  It helped quite a bit, but unfortunately, what I was looking for was not correct.  He indicated he was born in Nuevo Laredo, but I found out he used that city only because he had relatives there and didn't know where or when he was born.  However, if the information had been correct, it would have provided valuable information regarding his past.
