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

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

Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico is a work-in-progress
and the pages will be updated as additional information is received.
