Seeking immigration records for Enrique Heredia

Dear Mr. Heredia,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and found the series Manifests of Alien Arrivals at San Ysidro (Tia Jauna), California, 4/21/1908- 12/1952 in the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Records Group 85) that may include the name of Enrique Heredia on the lists. For more information about these records, please email the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) at archives1reference@nara.gov. We suggest looking at the National Archives page Mexican Border Crossing Records for more information.

We also located the Population Schedules for the 1910 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1920 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1930 Census, and the Population Schedules for the 1940 Census in the Records of the Bureau of the Census (Record Group 29) that may contain information about Enrique G. Heredia in California.  The 1940 Census schedules are digitized and available using the Catalog. For more information about the non-digitized schedules, please contact RDT1 via email at archives1reference@nara.gov

You may wish to search Ancestry or FamilySearch for the U.S. Census. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, please check for access at your local library as many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons.

Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgment as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1.  We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience as we balance mission-critical work and the safety of our staff during the pandemic. Please check NARA’s web page about COVID-19 updates for the latest information.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
