This blog follows the group New Mexico Tombstone Transcription. It consists of many volunteers, many of which have been with the group over 8 years. We extract data from death records, burial records, history books as well as walking many cemeteries. All information is added to the internet as well as the local genealogical and historical library.

Around the state - again
We took a trip to northern New Mexico and found some of the more elusive cemeteries. Our first stop was to Pecos where we thought there were 3 cemeteries. Nope - only two.
Working on the name for this church. There are only a few older stones in churchyard.
Continuing south, but still before Glorieta, is the tiny village of Bernal. Another Catholic church and churchyard cemetery with many burials.
We did stop in Raton to verify three cemeteries that are fairly large and documented.
Mt Calvary on west side of city
Fairmont on the north side of city
Fairview on east side and the oldest cemetery (also
known as Old Raton Cemetery)
