“Petronila
Garcia Jurado:
Matriarch
of the Rio Abajo”
Genealogy and history can sometimes be messy; and the most
interesting stories are the messiest. Petronila Garcia Jurado was a daughter of
a prominent family which came to New Mexico after the Pueblo Revolt to
re-establish the Spanish kingdom. She married into the old Baca clan, and began
raising a family. After her husband’s death, she had to fight her in-laws over
her children’s inheritance. Later, she had another child who carried the Baca
name - two years after the death of her husband Juan Antonio Baca.
Using a Spanish document recently translated by genealogist
Patricia Sanchez Rau and filling in the details with other research, Robert
Baca paints the portrait of a complex and daring woman. He follows her family
through the Rio Abajo, or the lower river, district of New Mexico. He tells the
story of the Baca, Torres and Garcia Jurado families of Belen and Socorro.Robert J.C. Baca is the president of the New Mexico Genealogical Society. He has been researching his Rio Abajo roots for over a dozen years. He has presented for the New Mexico Genealogical Society, the Historical Society of New Mexico, the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico (presented on his behalf in his absence), and other organizations. He and his wife Nancy reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Silva Family reunion in Socorro ... last month.
Here's a link to an El Defensor Chieftain article about a Silva family reunion in Socorro: http://www.dchieftain.com/2013/08/01/family-reunion-celebrates-couple-married-in-1916.
I didn't attend, am not directly related to this family, and didn't know about it until someone posted the link on the NMGS Facebook page, but I thought I would share it with my readers.
By the way, did you know that I wrote an article about one of my Silva ancestors:
Robert J. C. Baca, "From Sabinal to Socorro: Descendants of Maria Clara Lorenza Silva, Born 1794", New Mexico Genealogist, 48 (March 2009), pages 39-43.
If you are interested in my article, you may order it from the NMGS webpage at www.nmgs.org

Using Census Records to Keep and Eye on Your Ancestors
Census records are an invaluable resource for keeping track of your ancestors. A census is a government record that appears every ten years that can help you find details you might otherwise miss in the normal sacramental records or land records. So let's step back in time every ten years and see what you can find that will add details to your family research.
