Kathy As I understand it, it's a two part process if you DON'T know the number of your ancestors Alien Record. If you already have the number you skip to the last step and pay the $35 for the record itself. Sooooo, if you don't know any numbers it's going to cost you a total of $55. which is not good but at least you get the record! I know about 15 years ago I wrote to SF for my Va's and I even had the number and they sent the wrong info back. As I understand it from Miriam Smith, that happened often! I can't understand how they kept track of the Alien situation giving out duplicate numbers!

Is that just one resource that could potentially locate all an ancestor's immigration related records for you which would then require you to send for the records from them and pay the fee of $20 - $35 for each record? If you just request the record from the FOIA using Form G639 (as we've done in the past), is that still an option? I'm confused......not the first time!
