Welcome to NMGenWeb Project
Socorro County, NM
** Volunteers dedicated to free online information **
upon a Pueblo north of the present town of Socorro,
the county seat. Some friendly Indians had presented him
and his troops with corn in the summer of 1598, which is
why he choose the name meaning "succor" or "help".

About The USGenWeb Project
In March and April
of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy
Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties
in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases
would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found
in more than one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.
In June, as the Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to start a page for each of the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky project, volunteers were found to host the state pages.
In April of 1998 I became the Socorro County coordinator and agreed to create and maintain the website. I am very much open to any and all suggestions & comments about the website, and I encourage all those doing research in Socorro County to become involved in the program. Your help will be most welcome.
