Recovering Abiquiú’S Lost Church Records, Samuel E. Sisneros
University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications
In early 2016, an elderly couple came into UNM’s Center for Southwest Research & Special Collections determined to donate six hide-covered books to the archives. They confessed they did not know their contents and that even though the books were in the care of the family for many years, they thought UNM would be a suitable place for them to be preserved and studied. I immediately realized that these antique books were the long lost baptismal, marriage and burial registers (1777-1861) from the Mission Church of Santo Tomás Apóstol de Abiquiú and that the rightful repository for them was the …

The Armendárizes: A Transnational Family In New Mexico And Mexico, Samuel E. Sisneros
The Armendárizes: A Transnational Family In New Mexico And Mexico, Samuel E. Sisneros
University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications
Although the Armendáriz surname is uncommon in New Mexico today,
the Armendáriz family was important in New Mexico during the early
to mid-1800s, with key political, diplomatic, and social links to Texas; California;

to the long and constant movement of people, trade, and politics along El
Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (the Royal Road of the Interior) and to the
formation of a binational region. From Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the El Paso/
Ciudad Juárez border and Chihuahua City to Mexico City, the Armendáriz
family legacy demonstrates that New …
