NMGS has decided at this time to suspend out Twitter feed
and NM Blog post. We have had major
success with Facebook and have focused all of our resources to that site for
now. We are leaving the door open as they
say, if someone wants to start either of the two feeds up again and actually
post feeds and blog, we are open to that.
Happy Researching!

Ruby Niner – An independent researcher, grew up in Los Lentes and Los Lunas where her parents and grandparents were also raised. Ruby began researching her ancestry as a promise to her grandmother. The discovery of her ancestors lead to an overwhelming interest to learn more about the small villages, when and how the villages were named and the connection of the people. Some of the stories she grew up listening to, hearing from others, and history written lead to pursue what was fact or myth. Using first source documents as a method to stay as reliable as the written history can provide.

NM Land Grant Cases online
Are you doing research on your New Mexico ancestors, and you want to know more about them and their communities? One way to do this is to look at the original land grant case documents. Before, you would have to go to the library to look at microfilm. However, many of the land grant cases are now online! You can do your research at home!
The UNM CSWR Catron Land Grant Cases digital collection can be found on the Center for Southwest Research website. Click on this link to view the documents. Thousands of pages are online - and most of the documents (if not all) are translated into English!
