This publication on the Martín Serrano family of Spanish colonial New Mexico is a compendium of reference material and a valuable resource for individuals seeking to document their Martinez/Martín family genealogy and history. Traveling from Zacatecas from 1596-1598 was no easy feat as those families had to bring entire households, animals, and military materials with them. The thousand-mile journey, which encompassed crossing rivers, and skirting mountains and deserts with little or no water, would have been difficult even for those without children.
