I've started yet another blog. This one is called Socorro and the Beyond Graveyard Rabbit. A graveyard rabbit is someone who blogs about cemeteries, tombstones and the dearly departed. Hey, what can I say: I'm a genealogist - I'm interested in dead people.
My first post is about my great-grandparents Ignacio and Andreitta M. Torres.

Baca cousin writes article about his roots
Edward Baca, one of my dad's cousins, wrote an article in the Dallas Morning News about his family. Coincidentally, he is also related to me through my mom's side. His mother was my maternal grandmother's first cousin.
In the article, he talks about his three great-grandfathers who were posted at Ft. Craig: Philip Bourguignon, Samuel Zimmerly, and Richard Stackpole. Bourguignon and Zimmerly are my 2nd great grandfathers; Stackpole is not related to me.
He also writes about other ancestors, including Cristobal Baca and Cristobal de Torres. It's a really good article. Read it by clicking on the link below.
