Happy Easter! Here is an update on the 1930 Census Project & Section 3 of the NMDI Project. So far, there are 11 counties of the 1930 NM Census Index have been completed. These counties are Catron, Cháves, Curry, Eddy, Guadalupe, Luna, McKinley, Roosevelt, San Miguel, Sandoval, Sierra, Torrance and Valencia. Most of these counties indices are listed in their Archives Files website [http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nm/nmfiles.htm]. When all the counties are completed, they will be combined into a searchable database. If anyone is interested in volunteering, we do need about 5 more volunteers. Email me at: [email protected] for more information. You will need to have a CD ROM to help out and be working at home during your free time. As we put a deadline for the end of December for this project to be completed. As we already passed December and had to replace some volunteers, we have pushed the goal for the deadline of the project for end of July of 2003. A reminder to the volunteers, please check-in at the beginning of May and June with a report of your progress (the ones whom completed their counties do not need to report in). When the counties are being completed, Gina will be posting that specific county in their NMGenWeb Archives File website [http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nm/nmfiles.htm]. When the project is completed, all the counties will be combined into an engine search and still leaving the specific counties in their Archives File websites. The NMDI (New Mexico Death Index) also will be in this engine search format once the Section 3 of the project is completed. Now, lets get into the budget. Sadly, we are still in the RED. The money raised to date is $1227.67 (donation total $1003.55 and look-up profits $224.12). The budget for the NMDI Projects (Census Project estimated budget to date is $1089.89) and Section 3 (estimated budget total is 545.80) total to $1635.69. So are in debt of $408.02 (OUCH!). You can get more information about the donations and volunteering at: http://www.nmia.com/~samquito/otherprojects.html. One of our major fundraiser toward all the NMDI Projects has been DC (death certificate) look-ups. We only accept written request taken off the NMDI website, along with the fee and send them the photocopy of the DC. All the remaining money of the fees goes toward the NMDI Budget. With the exception of donations from wonderful people, this other DC look-ups are the only other fundraiser to cover the budget. For more information on this, click on http://www.nmia.com/~samquito/nmdir.html. Section 3 of the NMDI Project Update: I had finally been in touch with the director of Vital Records from the FAX proposal of filming the 1941-1950 death index. She had stated that they are going to contact the LDS Church to see if they are interested. If they get an negative response, she will contact me about filming the 1941-1950 death index. I am expecting to hear from her by the end of May on the situation. I will inform you on what I do hear. I do not see the start of Section 3 of the NMDI until October at the earliest. In the research and dealing with Vital Records, we now have access to the death certificates from 1941 to 1951. But there is no Death Index available. The look-up volunteer (I am the only one left, my other help are not available until after the summertime), I can do look-ups for death certificates for 1941 to 1951 ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE EXAZT DATE OR MONTH AND YEAR, COUNTY OF DEATH AND OF COURSE, THE FULL NAME OF THE DECEASE. The prices are the same as requesting 1899 to 1940 death certificates. For more info at: http://www.nmia.com/~samquito/nmdir.html. I guess that is all for this update. Another update will be send out in June. Until then, bye for now and happy holidays! Sam-Quito Padilla G. Co-Coordinator, NMDI Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nm/nmdi.htm

As it gets harder and harder to get to places it is so refreshing to find others who will go out of their way to help. Thanks to Sandy for finding my 2 obituaries. I can't wait for them to arrive. Whenever family members are "lost", and then someone finally finds information on them it is so exciting. I hope each of us who has been helped with in turn help another.

I know he is in the; Santa Fe National Cemetery, 501 Gaudalupe St. Santa Fe, Santa Fe Co., New Mexico I got that from calling the funeral home on the death cert. I know he moved there to be with family, was hoping there would a obit to show who this family was. I found out he was not born in NY like the death cert says all census records say Missouri and NY has NO birth records on him.. I did learn that Ann Connelly who signed the death cert was his niece, but that's all I learned so far. May God Bless you in your search Thanks again Ginny

I really hope some kind soul can help. I am not closely enough related to the 2 following people for New Mexico to issue me copies of their death certificates. I would like to find obituaries with as much information as they might have. I don't even know which cemetery they are buried in, so I need some help. Frederick WARDHAUGH, born 22 Mar 1889, died in or around Albuquerque in Jun of 1973. Freda Hazel Scriven WARDHAUGH, born 23 Sep 1892, died in or around Albuquerque in Jul of 1973. Freda may be listed as Hazel Freda. She is my grandfather's cousin. I would appreciate any help possible on this.
