Native American Genealogical Resources for New Mexico

Native American Genealogical Resources for New Mexico

By Karen Stein Daniel, CGSM

Patterned after the 3rd edition of Genealogical Resources for New Mexico, this new resource guide is for genealogical and family history researchers of New Mexico Apache, Navajo, Pueblo, and Ute families.

The guide is extensively researched with annotated bibliographies. It includes chapters on archives, libraries, and museums, church resources, Federal Government resources, Family History Library microfilm, internet resources, vital record resources, and additional resources.

Information is also included for members of these tribes who may have lived, at least part of the time, in Arizona, Colorado, or Utah.

The book is indexed and contains 255 pages, keys to using the guide, a list of terms, and a discussion of the Genealogical Proof Standard.

About the author: NMGS member Karen Stein Daniel is a certified genealogist and a former editor of the New Mexico Genealogist. She is author of several books for the New Mexico Genealogical Society, including two editions of Genealogical Resources for New Mexico, New Mexico Mining Fatalities and Accidents, and Naturalization Records by New Mexico Courts.

“It was my Mother’s explicit wish that her books be in the hands of those that would appreciate them most. Her undying love of the history of the New Mexico Territory and the people of the times defined who she was. Her wish was to immortalize the common man and woman and the trials and events of their lives in such a way as to enrich our lives today.”
