SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Memorial 57 would request the Cultural Affairs Department and Museum of New Mexico

to keep Origins of New Mexico Families in print.

Significant Issues

Origins of New Mexico Families was written by Fray Angelico Chavez and published first in

1954. This is considered an important book among genealogy researchers, because it chronicles

the roots of New Mexico's early Spanish families particularly in the 17

th

and 18

th

centuries.

No direct fiscal impact.
