La Villa Nueva de Santa Cruz de la Cañada de los Mexicanos Espanoles del Rey Nuestro Senor Don Carlos Segundo was established in April of 1695 by Governor and Captain General of New Mexico, Don Diego de Vargas. The first recorded baptism from Santa Cruz in the archives of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe does not state that Santa Cruz was a parish or that there was a church there. The record simply states that the baptism of a child given the name of Maria Lucia took place "En esta Villa de Santa Cruz" on September 25, 1710. The record further states that the child was "de nación Apache" and that her godmother was Sebastiana de la Serna. The priest who signed the record was Fray Jose Antonio de Torres. The baptismal record is located in a fragment baptismal register from Santa Cruz catalogued as a Loose Document from the Mission Period numbered 1710 number 7. Included in this book is a list of abbreviations and phrases used in the publication, and a name index. Names are indexed three ways: 1) by name of person baptized, 2) by parents' names, and 3) by godparents, grandparents, and others named.

The Spanish and Mexican colonial censuses are essential for researching New Mexican roots. The 1790 census lists the head of household along with age and occupation. Spouses are named and the ages are given for other household members. The 1823 and the 1845 censuses list names and ages for every person in the household. This newly revised edition improves the original book first published in 1975. The entire book has been re-typed in a more readable font, corrections have been made, and a new index points to page numbers rather than microfilm frames. This revised edition also includes the vital 1790 census for Taos which was not in the original book.
