Seeking Extradition request made by Cuba in 1920

Susie Hay Feb 15, 2020 11:23 AM

While searching newspapers, I noted one of my relatives might have been named in an extradition request made by the Government of Cuba to the US in 1920. I’m relatively new to genealogy/archival research and am overwhelmed by where to begin my search. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Dear Ms. Hay,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Name Index, 1910 - 1973 to the Central Decimal Files, 1910 - 1963 in the General Records of the Department of State (Record Group 59) that may include the extradition request from Cuba. For a search of the index and the corresponding files, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov and include as much information as you have (i.e, full name of the person, approximate date of extradition, and the offense committed).

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