In just a few months our calendars will turn to 2010, and
the New Mexico Genealogical Society will be 50 years old.
You are invited to help us celebrate our Golden Anniversary.
More "nuggets" of information about the event will be seen here over the coming months.

Can you help? Are you a volunteer who is handy with a graphics program?
Would you help us finish a very special logo for the NMGS 50th Anniversary?
We've been working on this graphic, but it needs something more: words and spacing to finish it beautifully.
Or, you may have a better one for us to use?

Elmer Martinez, Director of Spanish History Publications, has been charged by Reies Lopez Tijerina and Carlos Espinoza Cansino to arrange distribution of the books:
THE LEGEND OF THE TOWN OF SAN JOAQUIN DEL RIO CHAMA, by Kathelyn Hoffmann, Charles E. Chavez, Zara Kriegstein Corriz and Felipe Cabeza de Vaca, Synergetic Press, Santa Fe, 1983.
It is a short history of the San Joaquin Land Grant, 1806-1979, based on documents from the New Mexico State Archives, written in Spanish and English, illustrated in color, with a timeline.
Could you use one for your land grant association, library or classroom? The copy is free for those purposes.
Mailing envelope and postage: 1 copy - $2.48; 2 copies - $2.87; 3 copies - $2.87; 4 copies - $3.26; 5 copies - $3.26.
It is not to be resold and no profit is being made on it. We are doing the leg work for the book as a contribution to the New Mexico land grant effort.
We will have a display booth at the following places this summer and will have some of the books available there.

Another new reprint is Chavez; A Distinctive American Clan of New Mexico, by Fray Angelico Chavez.

What a team:
The Albuquerque Genealogical Society and the
New Mexico Genealogical Society
are working together in an effort to earn funds for our genealogy library, the
Special Collections branch of the Albuquerque Public Library system.
Any purchase from Amazon that goes through a link on the NMGS or AGS web site earns a modest percentage
that is donated in full to the Special Collections library for materials.
(Definitely a "win-win" situation for all library users!)
