The first European settlers that called Arizona "home" included family surnames like Martinez, Otero and Soto. Their legacy is reflected in southwestern food, culture, architecture and language. Growing interest in Spanish heritage research appears to increase with the growing U.S. hispanic population. This article provides a brief historical summary of Spanish rule in Arizona, then concludes by sharing a few of the best free resources for anyone interested Spanish family history and genealogy research. Brief Historical Summary In 1539, Spanish explorer and Franciscan priest Marcos de Niza became the first European to set foot in Arizona as he searched for the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola - Cities of Gold. Soon after, Jesuit priests erected missions throughout Arizona in an effort to convert Native American Indians to Christianity. By 1679, Father Eusebuio Francisco Kino and his companions had established five missions among the Yaqui, Opata and Papago tribes. Mission recor...

I have now been researching the family roots for many years. Over the years, I have become known within the family as the family historian, the keeper of the data and when all else fails, the person to give old photos to. Over the years I've accumulated quite a lot of photos. They have been stored in boxes and like everyone else, I thought that one day, I really ought to sort them out. "Sorting them out" was a very vague term that meant that either I was going to put them into albums so that they would fit tidily on a bookshelf or else I'd scan them and put them on to a disc. Did I think that they were useful to my genealogical research? Not really. For a long time I was avid in my genealogical research. I found names and dates. I found little snippets of information that were like gold dust to me. I was gradually able to build a family tree which so far stretches back to 1590. Somewhere along the line, came the thought "I wonder what they looked like?" Whe...

Over the past ten years the popularity of Family History Research has grown exponentionally in the UK and the US. When I started out, family history research was a case of travelling to busy records offices and poring through indexes, old books, dusty documents and microfiche readers. To get a UK birth certificate (etc.) a visit to St Catherines House was often required. This was the equivalent of a long workout at the gym! The enormous, heavy, quarterly index books were deftly pulled from the shelves behind the researchers and slammed down onto the long, lectern height desks. A quick ruffle through the pages to find the required name either resulted in a reference number being written down, or a swift return of the book to the shelf behind, trying not to hit the others waiting to look at the books. It was quite amusing sometimes to see a frail old lady, or a newcomer having problems coping with the massive books and being given dirty looks by those who were making a good income by ch...

In the earliest days of human history people rarely needed more than a few grunts or whistles to call each other in times of danger. But as populations grew, sounds were combined and as language evolved, words or complex combinations of sounds were assigned, or assumed, by individuals to be able to not only call each other, but to be able to tell each other apart. After all, every one in an animal skin with long hair probably looked somewhat alike. We needed to be able to lay claim to property and land, our spouses and children. Names were one of the ways we did this, and one of the ways we kept records that ultimately were supposed to help avoid disputes. How confusing it must have been in those very early days. The first Johan or John, thousands of years ago, may have fathered a male child whom he named John. This child may soon have become known as The son of John or John's son. Perhaps even little john. If your surname ends with 'son' as in Johnson, Jackson, Albertson,...

I have been researching my family tree for many years now. I began when all enquiries had to be made via regular post. It was a long process, drawn out and for the most part, totally fruitless. I had heard tell of vague relations who were interested in their family tree but it seemed that they wanted to either keep their hard work to themselves (I can understand this in a way) or never bothered communicating with anyone else.. After all, if you've managed to find a birth/marriage or death certificate and paid the fee, then there is a reluctance to offer it or the valuable information it contains, away to anyone else for free. Either that or they feel that no one else would be interested. One elderly relative had researched her entire life and had a gold mine of information. She passed away suddenly and who knows what became of her research? My father came from a really large family and although they loved each other deeply, they just didn't keep in touch. I grew up not even kn...

Oregon is a fantastic place to do genealogy research! In fact, Google's Trends spotting service reported that "Portland, Oregon consistently show up in the top 10 places to do genealogy, family history, and ancestry research." Family Tree Magazine identified Oregon as one of the best states with online genealogical and historical resources. With so much interest in genealogy by Oregonians, there are many free genealogical resources that can be accessed on-site or online, even by researchers outside of Oregon. There are many outstanding genealogical and historical societies in Oregon, and they charge reasonable membership fees. These societies also have affordable day-use fees for non-members. With so many societies and resources in Oregon, it is difficult to compile a short list. Nevertheless, below is a list of family history sites, both on and offline, to aid the family historian in their search. Genealogical Forum of Oregon The Genealogical Forum of Oregon (GFO) has ...
