Every part of the globe has great resources for studying genealogy, so no matter where in the world you are from, there are ways to shake your family tree! This publication (above), Herencia, the quarterly journal of the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico, is just one resource available in English to help people research their roots in Spanish-speaking areas, this one notably focused on New Mexico. Did you know that NM is one of the oldest settled regions of the US? Ever since the 1610s, there have been Spanish-speaking folks there, co-existing with the Pueblo Native people, neighbors along the rivers of New Mexico. I've been looking into this area myself, researching a friend's family roots there. It will be fun to see how many centuries her family goes back.
