From the A-File of Maria Jesus

 

Maria Jesus Diaz de Mirazo. 7 May 1953.

At long last, digital copies of the Alien Case Files for Maria Jesus Diaz de Mirazo, and her brother Gregorio Diaz, arrived last week while I was in Japan for meetings. Above is a photo for Maria Jesus from the file. Both were siblings of my 2nd-great-grandmother, Teresa Diaz.

Maria Jesus received an immigrant visa on 7 May 1953 at the American Consulate in Nogales, Sonora. She was sponsored by Benjamin Molina, husband of her daughter, Socorro Mirazo de Molina. Benjamin and Socorro also sponsored the immigrant visa for Socorro's brother, Leonardo Mirazo in 1949.

The file includes a certificate of baptism for Maria Jesus, verifying her baptism date as 28 September 1884 in Hermosillo (signed 11 November 1952). Her address prior to relocating to the United States as 60 Calle Sonora, Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, the address for her daughter Aurora Mirazo de Soto. Previous residences were listed as Naco, Arizona; Nogales and Hermosillo, Sonora, and that she had lived in the United States between 1913-1914.
