6B Daily News – Wednesday, October 5, 2011 New technology helps Hispanics trace their roots MIAMI (AP) — Programs such as NBC's ''Who Do You Think You Are?'' and PBS' ''Faces of America'' are helping fueling the trend in genealo- gy. But for many Hispanics, tracing the family tree hasn't been so easy. Now that's changing for America's largest minority group as a wealth of genealogical data, including a landmark 1930 census in Mexico, is going online. Discovering information about one's great-great grandparents and other relatives could be keystrokes away for many of the nearly 32 million Mexican-Americans — a group long left out of the sleuthing done largely by European-Americans and some African-Americans. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, long America's largest aggregator of genealogical records, this year completed its more than three- year-old project to create a searchable digital index of Mexico's massive 1930 census. It has also made the information available to the Internet genealogy company, Ancestry.com. The Church first began collecting the Mexican records in the early 1950s, but it wasn't until 2007 that it began the laborious process of transferring microfilm versions to a searchable online database, or index, at its free research site FamilySearch.org. The original documents are also available. Previous- ly, individuals generally had to go to one of the Church's FamilySearch centers to view the docu- ments. Through the work of volunteers, the Church completed the online work in May. Ancestry.com's user-friendly site put the infor- mation out in September in Spanish and English, making the research even easier. ''Knowing family history is an important piece of our identity. Knowing where we came from and the forces that brought us to where we are today — it goes beyond our immediate story,'' said Eduardo Obregon Pagan, a history professor at Arizona State University who teaches genealogical research meth- ods. He has painstakingly traced his own Puerto Rican and Mexican roots. He said he eagerly awaited the records, adding that while Latinos have historically had strong fam- ily ties, they have mostly relied on oral histories to know their roots. For younger generations who have less access to those connections, the records play an increasingly important role. Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, have long prioritized genealogy because they believe even the dead can be baptized and thus put on the path to heaven. And ancestors can't be baptized if their names aren't known. As the Church has expanded globally and sought to attract new U.S. immigrants, it has increasingly acquired demographic records from countries around the globe. Its web site has many local records from across Latin America, including down to the local Catholic parish, with Baptism and marriage records that can provide clues about older genera- tions not even listed in the census. FamilySearch.org is also now in the process of indexing many of its Asian documents to make online searching easier. Such documents are generally no longer released as countries including the U.S. have come to hold high- er standards of privacy for such personal informa- tion. Information from many of the Latin American countries is still somewhat spotty. And while the Church worked with the Mexican government to make available the 1930 Census — Mexico's most comprehensive up to that time — Mexico City's data was unavailable either because the information was not centralized or lost, said FamilySearch spokesman Paul Nauta. Experts estimate the docu- ments still cover about 75 percent of the population at that time. Associate Professor of History at Brigham Young University George Ryskamp, who teaches courses and has written books on Hispanic genealogy, has often helped students find relatives by pouring over microfilm records. If their families hailed from small towns, the task wasn't so difficult, but with a big city such as Puebla, finding the right Juan Gomez could take hours, days or even a visit to the country. The 1930 Mexican Census covers categories such as marriage, home ownership, occupation and even serious illnesses. It also gives a picture of the extended family, based on who lived in a household or nearby. ''It is a snapshot of the family, of life at that time,'' Ryskamp said. He hopes to eventual get earlier data online, as many Mexicans fled north during the 1910 Mexican Revolution that lasted nearly a decade. Ancestry Executive Vice President Josh Hanna said the decision to put the Mexican records online came as the company realized relatively few Latinos were using the service and sought to tap into the fast- growing Hispanic-American market. The company has also put U.S.-Mexican border crossing records from 1895 to 1957 on the site. Hanna said the company is making the records free to encourage new subscribers. Nor- mally it offers a free-trial membership but still requires a credit card. If there's enough interest, Ancestry will look into acquiring vital and other records at the state level, for which it will likely charge. Its standard international fee ranges from about $25 to $35 a month depending on the length of membership. But nearly all of those records and many others will remain free on the Mormon site. Actor Edward James Olmos of Showtime's ''Dexter'' is promoting Ancestry's new service. He knew some of his ancestors were Mexican revolutionary leaders, but he was intrigued to find out his great-grandmother was a single mother raising two blind sons. ''It speaks to the strengths of the family,'' he said. ''A woman who took care of two blind children instills a sense of understanding of what kind of root you come from.'' Reid wants millionaire surtax WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen- ate Democrats intend to jettison provisions that President Barack Obama recommended to pay for his jobs bill and substitute a tax surcharge on millionaires, offi- cials said Tuesday, hoping to unify the party for a protracted political struggle with Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., outlined plans for a 5 percent surcharge in a closed- door meeting with the rank and file, according to participants in the session, as Obama traveled to Texas to deliver his most caustic challenge yet to House Republi- cans who have not allowed a vote on the legislation unveiled nearly a month ago. ''What's the problem? Do they not have the time? They just had a week off. Is it inconvenient?'' he said in Mesquite, Texas, singling out House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for special criticism. There was no indication Can- tor, R-Va., or the House Republi- cans would agree. But after three weeks of presi- dential demands for Congress to pass his jobs bill without delay, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said Obama was open to Reid's changes. ''We offered a balanced way to pay for the American Jobs Act, but if Congress has a better idea that ensures that everyone pays their fair share, we're open to it,'' Pfeiffer said. On a day rich in political maneuvering, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell announced he was ready for an immediate vote on the bill, even though he oppos- es it. Reading aloud on the Senate floor from a copy of Obama's speech, he said, ''I do think the president makes an important point that he is entitled to a vote.'' The request was blocked by Reid, who called it a ''political stunt'' and said he would make sure the bill comes to the floor this month. Aboard Air Force One, White House press secretary Jay Carney accused Republicans of gamesmanship. The parliamentary dance aside, the day's events underscored that as submitted by the White House, Obama's bill would not only fail in the Republican-controlled House, but faced enough opposi- tion from Democrats to endanger its prospects in the Senate, as well. ''There's the good, the bad and the ugly. The ugly was $447 bil- lion,'' said Sen. Joe Manchin, D- W.Va., referring to the overall size of the president's request. Yet while Republicans and Democrats appear to be pointing to a showdown that could rever- berate into the 2012 election cam- paign, some elements of the mea- sure could clear Congress with relative ease by year's end. As an example, Republicans have not ruled out extending and expanding the payroll tax cuts that took effect on Jan. 1, at a cost of $247 billion over a decade, the single costliest item in the Obama's legislation. Democrats said Reid's pro- posed millionaires' surtax was designed to quell much if not all of the opposition from his own rank and file, a subject that Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the sec- ond-ranking leader, referred to in an interview with reporters. ''We're also obviously going to work on the number of votes to support it. It may not be the exact plan offered by the resident, but I think he, when he presented it to us, said that we need to be open to some variations and modifica- tions,'' Durbin said. The payroll tax cut extension faces little if any opposition from Democrats, and Obama's request for more than $100 billion in new spending as a way of creating jobs is also popular. To pay for his $477 billion plan, Obama has proposed higher taxes on family incomes over $250,000 and on the oil and gas industry to finance the jobs bill. The first request troubles Democratic senators from states like New York, New Jersey and California, where large numbers of families could be hit by the increase. The second has drawn opposition most prominently from Louisiana Sen. Mary Lan- drieu, whose state is home to numerous oil and gas operations. The president also proposed higher taxes on hedge fund man- agers and corporate jet owners, and those increases, too, would disappear under the changes Reid is expected to unveil on Wednes- day. Reid told reporters that Obama was ''not locked into anything'' he had recommended to pay for the legislation, adding that he was in the process of making changes in them. His office declined comment on the emerging plan for a sur- charge on millionaires, but several Democrats, speaking anonymous- ly to discuss the developments, said it was being drafted to cover the entire $447 billion cost of the legislation. Reid predicted that by the time the jobs bill comes to the Senate floor, almost all Democrats would be behind it. ''There could be — I don't know who — but there could be some that don't support it. But it would be a rare situa- tion,'' he added. In his speech in Texas, Obama referred to Cantor one day after the Virginia Republican said the White House's ''all or nothing approach is unreasonable.'' ''Eric Cantor said that right now, he won't even let this jobs bill have a vote in the House of Representatives. That's what he said. Won't even let it be debat- ed,'' the president said. ''At least put this jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire coun- try knows exactly where members of Congress stand,'' Obama said. ''Put your cards on the table.'' Cantor's spokesman rejected the criticism. ''If House Republicans sent our plan for America's job cre- ators to the president, would he promise not to veto it in its entire- ty? Would he travel district to dis- trict and explain why he'd block such common-sense ideas to cre- ate jobs?'' Brad Dayspring said. ''House Republicans have differ- ent ideas on how to grow the economy and create jobs, but that shouldn't prevent us from trying to find areas of common ground with the president.'' House Republicans have begun passing legislation to block or roll back administration regula- tions on several industries, saying their removal will create jobs. While Republican lawmakers appear receptive to tax cuts the president has called for, they have expressed strong opposition to his proposed new spending.
