Nuestra Familia and New Mexico History

The history of New Mexico since the settling of the area by don Juan de Onate in 1598 and the history of our New Mexican families are one and the same. And you have to remember that the New Mexico of today is a lot smaller than before the American occupation. The names of our ancestors show up every where, EVERY WHERE. The good, the bad and the ugly. Hard to sidestep any aspect of it. Our ancestors have been here involved in all aspect of life as they lived and died.

Our ancestors were there when all of the good deeds were accomplished. They were also there as the dirty deeds went down. That happens in history, and especially the history of New Mexican Hispanos whose ancestors were here when the American invasion took place and the Americans took over the reins of government..
