Revisiting Gregorio

I previously wrote about Gregorio Diaz, brother of my 2nd-great-grandmother, Teresa Diaz, back in 2014. A new-to-me record is above, showing the marriage record for Gregorio to first wife Tomasa Arvayo, in Hermosillo, Sonora on 17 December 1897.

In December 2021, I wrote to the National Archives in Kansas City, requesting a copy of the Alien Case for Gregorio, but they were unable to process the request due to COVID. Over the weekend I sent a follow-up note to again request a copy of the file, and this time received a reply. Hopefully they'll send me a digital version within the next week. I also found a reference to a case file for Gregorio's sister, Maria Diaz, so maybe I'll receive both files soon.

On 26 December 1924, Gregorio requested a copy of his birth registration be noted with the Civil Registration authorities in Hermosillo. This helpful record provides another confirmation on his birth and information on his parents.
