In keeping with our Commitment to Quality in all our publications, the Society publishes information in as nearly an exact reproduction of the original record as possible. In articles posted by the New Mexico Genealogist or on the NMGS web site, we add one or more more steps to help insure accuracy.

Also, in case a proven error is reported to the Society, we are maintaining this Errata page as further assurance of our commitment. This aims to provide a closed-loop self correcting system. Our readers can be assured of care and accuracy to the greatest extent possible.

3) New Mexico Spanish and Mexican Colonial Census.
An entry in the Spanish and Mexican Colonial Census of 1845 was incorrectly written by a census taker 154 years ago, then extracted and published as it was found in the record. See New Mexico Spanish and Mexican Colonial Censuses, 1790, 1823, 1845 extracted by Mrs. Virginia Olmsted, published as New Mexico Genealogical Society Publication #B2, rev. 1979. Correct census is as follows:

M^a Pascuala Trugijo (widow)
Manuel Martin
Mariano Martin

That "Mariano" is in fact Maximo Martin, son of Pedro Martin and Pascuala Trujillo. I know that the correct name is Maximo as he is my great-great grandfather. The person who wrote the original census made the mistake of not crossing the "X" in Maximo.

 

The marriage record of said Maximo Martin [AASF 94, Mora Marriages frame 328, April 21, 1857] confirms his parents' names as Pedro Martin and Pascuala Trujillo. His brother, Manuel Jorge Martin, married Candalaria Trujillo.
Information received from Maximo Martinez, Littleton, CO. mmarti5140@aol.com.
