Join us and share our appreciation for New Mexico's long, colorful history.

A Nugget of Gold
In just one year, 2010, the New Mexico Genealogical Society will be reaching its 50th year of service to New Mexico genealogists, and celebrating its Golden Anniversary.
We of NMGS believe we are the oldest established genealogical group in New Mexico.
Are we?
If you know of a NM genealogical society that has been continually serving longer than 50 years, will you please contact us? Write to webmaster@nmgs.org or patesterly@yahoo.com.
The first person who replies with proof of an older NM genealogical society will receive a free one year subscription to the New Mexico Genealogist, our award winning quarterly journal.

January brings another busy year, and time to renew memberships.
Current members were mailed a renewal form in the December issue of the New Mexico Genealogist (which also included an index covering all 2008 issues). Forms can also be downloaded at MEMBERSHIP.
Visit us again soon for genealogy news, articles, new books, new links, and other programs.
We hope you'll remember to use an NMGS link when shopping for gifts: Books or Primeras Familias certificates for your family,
or share NMGS with others by giving gift memberships.
Or, by going to Amazon.com for all other purchases.
A nice note:
Since, as volunteers, none of us are awarded any compensation for our work, it is always nice to receive a note of appreciation. Just last week a query came to info@nmgs.org from Corine Bargas-Martinez, saying:
"First of all, I want to thank you for your wonderful site. You have put much work into it and it shows."
Nancy Anderson reports, "This Bargas/Vargas family is found in las Trampas and I was able to take her back six generations."

Some interesting new links have been added on this site. Check them out: Links.
 Remember -- you can help us to help Albuquerque's Special Collections library just by remembering to use an Amazon.com link on this web site when buying your books, music, movies, electronics, toys, etc. (just about anything you need). ALL earnings we receive from Amazon.com are sent in full to the library (a great win-win situation).

 The Catholic Church Project: Always online, always free.
Finding Aid for New Mexico research.
Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico helps you find the specific Catholic church records that recorded your ancestors' birth, marriage, and death.
For questions about the church project, send an email to our web editor. Armando Sandoval, Angela Lewis and Pat Esterly were the developers of the project and can guide you.
For help with general research questions in New Mexico, send us an email.
Former NMGS Presidents Nancy Anderson or Ernie Jaskolski will know where to look.

What a team:
The Albuquerque Genealogical Society and the
New Mexico Genealogical Society
are working together in an effort to earn funds for our genealogy library, the
Special Collections branch of the Albuquerque Public Library system.
Any purchase from Amazon that goes through a link on the NMGS or AGS web site earns a modest percentage
that is donated in full to the Special Collections library for materials.
(Definitely a "win-win" situation for all library users!)
