New Mexican Census and Death Records online

The Family Search website has a Record Search pilot program online. I've found abstracts of New Mexican death records, as well as census indexes on this site. The 1900 United States census index includes images of the actual records.

Since this is a pilot program, expect more records to show up on this site in the future.

Political Papers of New Mexico at the CSWR

The UNM Center for Southwest Research has a number of documents stored in its archives. It publishes on the web finding guides that describe the contents of collections within their archives. I recently found a handy website that categorizes some of these collections: Political Papers of New Mexico at the CSWR.

Click on this link, and you will find tabs to categories such as "U.S. Senators", "U.S. Representatives", "N.M. Governors", "American Indian Officials", "Political Organizations" and more. There is also a link to the online version of the 2007/2008 New Mexico Blue Book.

You may also find contact information on the home page, so that you may find out how to access these collections.

Much more can be found on the LibGuides Home (including Land Grants in New Mexico!)

Too early for Christmas shopping?

Nah, it's never too early to shop for Christmas, especially in these unsure economic times. I know plenty of people who begin shopping in October. Heck, a certain retail store - that will remain nameless here - is already advertising for layaway.

Are you one of those people who shop early. Are you thinking about shopping at Amazon.com? Well, if you are, consider shopping through the NMGS's link for Amazon.com . (The Albuquerque Genealogical Society also sponsors this link.) If you shop through us, a percentage of the proceeds will go towards our fund. That fund is only used to buy books for the Albuquerque Special Collections Library.

To buy books from our link, you can either:

* Go to the NMGS website and click on the Amazon.com link under the "Bookstore" heading; or,

* Go to the side margin of this blog and click on the Amazon.com link; or,

* Simply click on this link.

By the way, the books from the NMGS Bookstore also make great gifts for your favorite genealogist, even your favorite genealogist is yourself. Click on this link to purchase our books.
