The New Mexico Genealogical Society Presents

Robert J. C. Baca

“Baca y Baca: Two Families from Socorro” (10:30 AM)
and

“The Zimmerly Family of Socorro, New Mexico” (2:00 PM)


This special “double feature” presentation by New Mexico Genealogical Society president Robert J. C. Baca will be given in his hometown of Socorro, New Mexico.

At 10:30 AM, Robert will discuss the origins of two Baca families. One family came from Belen; the other from Peña Blanca. Discover how these two families became part of early Socorro history.

At 2 PM, Robert will speak about the Zimmerly Family of Socorro, New Mexico. Samuel Zimmerly, a Swiss-born Civil War soldier, fell in love with and married Paubla Torres, a daughter of an old New Mexican family. Their family history extends from the beginnings of Spanish New Mexican history up into statehood and beyond.
