Just some thoughts from New Mexico, mostly about New Mexico, New Mexican History and my New Mexican ancestors and relatives. Some other miscellaneous stuff I come up with and also some thoughts of mine on matters of importance to me.
As William Faulkner once said "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past."
Also, if you are afraid of skeletons then stay out of closets and if you are ashamed to have ancestors who do not meet your social standards then stay away from genealogy.
