A Difficult Birth:

The Re-Settlement Families of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de la Joya de Sevilleta, 1800-1819 

La Joya de Sevilleta, located strategically in central New Mexico along the Camino Real, was already a large community before 1819. This presentation will discuss events beginning in 1800 leading up to the conveyance of the La Joya de Sevilleta land grant in 1819, and will focus on the re-settlement families, the surprising places they came from, and the difficulties they endured.

Francisco Sisneros is a life-long student of New Mexico history and culture. As time has permitted over the last 33 years, he has researched numerous articles and made many presentations on these topics. He and his wife Inez live in Casa Colorada, New Mexico.

After Francisco’s presentation, join members of the New Mexico Genealogical Society on the 2^nd Floor at the Genealogy Center to research your own genealogy and answer any questions that you may have.

For more information about our programs, check out the New Mexico Genealogical Society’s website at www.nmgs.org.

This program is free and open to the public.

List of NMGS Programs through July

Yesteday, NMGS presented Lisa Kindrick, the Librarian for the Albuquerque Genealogy Center, who spoke to our membership about ways to best utilize the center. Afterwards, many of us met up to the second floor Genealogy Center where Henrietta Martinez Christmas, Joe Salazar and I helped out people with their genealogy questions.

 

Whether or not we formally schedule a "genealogy brick walls" workshop after a program, we will always have someone there who can help you with your genealogy questions. So feel free to bring your charts and information, and we'll help you with your genealogy questions.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated yesterday. See you at the next program in February! - Robert J. C. Baca, President of the New Mexico Genealogical Society.

Ways to Utilize the Main Genealogy Collection

 What's new at the Genealogy Center?  Join librarian Lisa Kindrick for an overview of the many resources available to support your family history research at the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Libraries, including the latest additions to the local area network, microfilm, databases, and new books.

A native of Albuquerque, Lisa attended the University of New Mexico on a Calvin Horn Essay contest scholarship after writing an essay about her grandparents' lives farming pinto beans in the Estancia Valley.  She received a Master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Denver and worked for ten years at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Library, including work with an oral history project, archival materials, and archival photos.  She has been excited to work at the Genealogy Center since January 2012 where she can combine her loves of family, New Mexico history, and librarianship.

After Lisa’s presentation, we will have genealogists available to help you with your genealogical brick walls. Bring your charts and be ready to ask questions!

For more information about our programs, check out the New Mexico Genealogical Society’s website at www.nmgs.org.
