During
times when San Marcial Mission did not have a resident
priest, marriages were held at San Miguel Parish
in Socorro (marriages Jan 1854 - 1883 and 1887 to
1894). Those are indicated.
Sabinal, although in Socorro County,
is near enough to Belen that many baptisms were
performed in Belen (Valencia County). |

County:
Socorro County was created in July 1850 as a U.S.
Territorial county. At that time it retained the name
conferred by Don Juan de Oñate upon a pueblo north
of the present town of Socorro. Oñate chose the
name meaning "succor" or "help" because
some friendly natives had presented him and his troops
with corn in the summer of 1598. In 1921 the western part
of this county became Catron County. The
Socorro County Courthouse address is P. O. Box 1, Socorro,
NM 87801. Phone (505) 835-04239; FAX (505) 835-4629.
Diocese:
Socorro County is within the
Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe (see
map). Where can you search the records, books and
microfilm? See Records for 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.
