New Mexico Baptisms: Nambe 1707-1837 and Pojoaque 1779-1839

The Pojoaque Valley was first settled by Europeans shortly after Oñate came to New Mexico. The Valley is on the Camino Real between Santa Fe and Santa Cruz de la Cañada, and it stretches no more than 15 miles in any direction. The baptismal records extracted in this volume are for Pojoaque and Nambé and the various small communities in the area. There are three indexes: an index of baptisms, an index of parents, and an index of grandparents, godparents and patrons. The book also contains an explanation of abbreviations and of Spanish language phrases. These baptismal records are essential for those who can trace their ancestors back to the Pojoaque Valley. All profits from books produced and sold by the New Mexico Genealogical Society are used to preserve New Mexico history and records.
