The New Mexico Genealogical Society presents
Angel R. Cervantes
Who will discuss
The New Mexico DNA Project:
The Visigoths’ Connection to Y-DNA Haplogroup I
The Visigoths conquered the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) in the 6th Century A.D. They were the first Christian rulers of Spain. Although their dynasty lasted only a couple of centuries, many New Mexicans alive today continue to carry their bloodlines.
Mr. Cervantes will discuss which New Mexican families have the Visigoth DNA. He will also show a short video that will explain the history of these people, which includes their invasion of Spain.

This program is free and open to the public.
