Ryskamp's classic Tracing Your Hispanic Heritage (1984) is readily available
again in this updated, revised version that addresses recent developments (computer

military, census, legal and sacramental records from both the old world and the
new. Other topics include language peculiar to old Spanish language records, handwriting,
naming conventions, and general research techniques and tips. I've found it very

Historia de la Nueva México, 1610:
A Critical and Annotated Spanish/English Edition (Paso Por Aqui
Series)
by
Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá (Author),
Miguel Encinias (Translator),
Alfred Rodríguez (Translator),
Joseph P. Sánchez (Translator)
One of the first travel journals of its kind to be published, this epic poem about
Juan de Oñate’s entrada that led to the founding of Nueva México in 1598 (to
become the state of New Mexico 314 years later) is full of the hopes and dreams
of those who traveled with Oñate. Historia de la Nueva México, 1610 was
written fourteen years before John Smith’s History of Virginia. Its
thirty-four cantos have long been considered a key source for early New Mexico history
and this bilingual Spanish/English version presents it as literature.
By situating Historia de la Nueva México, 1610 within
the Hispanic literary heritage, the work is restored to the canon of American literature.
