What do genetics tell us about New Mexico ancestors? On tonight's KNME-TV "New Mexico in Focus" episode, New Mexico genealogists Henrietta Martinez Christmas, Angel Cervantes and Ruth Randall talked about genetic and traditional genealogy. Angel and Henrietta talk about the racial mix of New Mexican ancestors. Ruth Randall talks about African-American ancestry. There is even a discussion on Billy the Kid and Christopher Columbus DNA.

New Mexico Genealogical Connections
Recently, I discovered three bloggers that have New Mexico connections. I would like to share them with you here:
* We Tree - Amy Coffin may live in Texas, but she has family in Las Vegas, New Mexico
* "LoLyn" of Utah has seven blogs that feature New Mexico, Mexican and Spanish genealogy and culture: Genealogy, I'm Doing it, My Genealogy has a few posts about New Mexico; New Mexico Bustamante Family; Baca Family History; New Mexico Baca Family History (the Bacas are such an extensive family, she had to have two blogs on the subject); Spaniards and Conquistadores; My Family of Origin has posts about her New Mexican family; Ancestors has a few articles about Mexico and Spain; and last, but not least, Our Mexican Folk Songs. Is that all, LoLyn?
* Cimarron Publishing (or alternatively, "Sernas of the World"), is a blog by long time researcher Louis Serna. Not only is it a blog for Serna's publishing company, but it also includes a number of stories about Sernas throughout history and living today (when you're on the site, scroll down to read their stories.)
If you know of any other blogs that have New Mexico Genealogical Connections, please let me know by sending me an e-mail at abqbobcat@nmia.com. I'll be happy to post them on the NMGS Blog.

NM African American Graveyard Blog
Recently, I discovered that George Geder, one of my friends on Facebook, has a couple of genealogy blogs.
Santa Fe's African American Graveyard Rabbit is a blog that honors African Americans interred in Santa Fe, NM. It includes photos and descriptions of gravestones as well as obituaries. Click on this link to discover his site.
George Geder also has a blog about his genealogy photo restoration business. Click on this link to find out more about his business.
As George mentions in his Graveyard Rabbit blog, African Americans have been here in New Mexico since the begining. Estevan the Moor was one of the leaders of the first Spanish exploration of New Mexico. Many early "Spanish" settlers were actually African or Mulato. Buffalo soldiers served with distinction in New Mexico during the 19th Century. And the list goes on. Unfortunately, as George notes, persons of African ancestry have been either "under-represented or ignored."
If any of my readers know of other New Mexican African-American websites that should be profiled here, please send me an Email at abqbobcat@nmia.com.
