County:
Doña Ana County is one of the seven original partidos established while under Mexican rule.
Then, under American rule it was established as a U.S.
county on January 9, 1852. At that time it was created
from part of Socorro County. The Doña Ana County
Courthouse is at 251 West Amador Avenue, Las Cruces, NM
88005. Phone (505) 647-7421; FAX (505) 647-7202.
Diocese: This county is in the Catholic
Diocese of Las Cruces. Almost all of the records are in
the individual parishes, except that records over 100
years old are housed at the Archives of the Diocese in
Las Cruces. See Records for the sources and addresses known to date.
Published
Records:
New Mexico
Genealogist: Since
its first issue in 1962, the Genealogist has been
publishing a continuous stream of county, state, and church
records as well as other informative articles. Available:
1) a CD containing every issue published in the first
forty years of publication: See NMG-CD.
2) a printed topic index 1962-1999: Book #E4b at NMGS
Press.
3) An index for each current year is provided within the Genealogist in that year's December issue.
4) There are also some articles from the Genealogist being published on this web site. For a list, see Genealogist
online.
Most Catholic church records are available
on microfilm, and volunteers have extracted, translated,
and published many of those records with indexes. Click
on the links below to see which other books are already
available from these two societies:
Assistance:
Due to the volume of incoming mail, this webmaster is
not able to answer online research questions. Instead,
please try our extensive link section.
Two other volunteer groups are New
Mexico GenWeb and New
Mexico Ancestors. Both are linked to larger networks
of sites covering the entire state of New Mexico.
To the best of our knowledge, the information
presented here is accurate and up to date. If you have
corrections or additions to contribute, please add the
words "Catholic Church Project" in the subject
line, include your source reference, and email to: info@nmgs.org. Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico is a work-in-progress and the pages will be updated as
additional information is received.
