A branch of my family has been in New Mexico since before it was a state.
My dad was born in Artesia in 32. His dad helped build the Carlsbad highway.
My great grandad is buried in Las Cruces.
My great uncle once had the largest Hwy engineering firm in New Mexico in Santa Fe.
Mr Mojo’s link at post 2840 says otherwise.

I didn’t know you had NM connections. Wonderful (though corrupt) place. Love it.
