Buried Treasure in New Mexico by Howard Bryan; Greater Albuquerque Library Association; Recorded at Eldorado High School. J. Frank Dobie- inspiration for many peoples' passion for buried treasure. Lost Adam's Diggings- J. Frank Dobbie brought it to the general public- 1864 in Arizona, a Native American leads settlers to west New Mexico to "canyon of gold"; Apache Natives raid the camp- this man Adams was the only to survive but could never find that gold again. Still people looking for this Adams treasure. Bob Lewis is mentioned in Dobie's book, helped Adams try to find them earlier- Bryan got to know Lewis, but Lewis took a while to open up about the Lost Adams Diggings. Lewis says that Adams hasn't told the whole story- Adams stole the gold and was on the run when attacked by Native Americans. Rather than saying I hid the gold, he has to say he lost it. People are still looking for the Adams gold at the time of the recording. Potential buried treasure on White Sands Missile Range. Friends/Foundation; MP3 Converted, January 14, 1974

Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking by Paula Stewart Warren; Session part of the 1997 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States; Railroad records are usefull for genealogical research because they may include personel files, medical records, payroll records, newspaper clippings, accident reports, records of subsidiary lines, employee newletters, photos and drawings of the actual railroad lines, general correspondence, land records and surveys, wealth of printed literature on raillines about their history, buisness activities and their part in settling communities- many are complete w footnotes and endnotes, as well. Railroad maps can help give us information about where our ancestors went, who they visited, if they had kids on the way, etc. First learn about the place where your ancestor lived first- when did the railroad get to that town? Which lines came through? Can use this kind of information to cross check oral history in your family. Look at the genealogy of the railroads themselves, not just your ancestor- there may have been company mergers, bankrupcy, name changes, etc. that your family documents could help track down the history of the railroad line that your family member worked for- this can help with verifying personal information for your ancestor especially if that person worked in a company associated w the railroad company- may be hard to track, but important to get straight because those companies like restaurants, construction, etc. are so closely tied to railroads. Accident records give name, their residence and occupation, sometimes marrital status, date and time, place of accident, cause of accident, other railroad employees working at time of accident, what happened to body (where buired and what funeral home), description of injuries (could prove family stories). Railroads are private businesses and have record retention timelines, so some materials are not always easy to track down or they might not even be in existance anymore.

Blacks in the West: Researching Cowboys and Buffalo Soldiers by Tony Burroughs; Session part of 1998 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States; Burroughs teaches Genealogy at the Chicago State University. There were approximately 9,000 African American cowboys throughout the West. Some of the first cowhearders in the United States were Black; they started bringing cattle from South Carolina into Texas and beyond- we owe that piece of cultural history from African traditions/knowledge of cow-hearding. Cowboys move the cattle from point a to point b. Ranch hands, rancher, wranglers are also terms to look out for while researching Black cowboy ancestral history because offical records don't always use the explict word "cowboy". You can use databases by searching for specific ranches, descriptions of jobs, etc to find out more detailed records like payment history, etc. Bufflo Soldiers- during the Civil War, 180,000 African Americans volunteered to fight for their freedom- they were even consolidated into white armies during the war. A year after Civil War the US created six all-Black regular army units with white officers- no Black officers who had fought in the Civil War were selected to lead these armies; some of the white officers refused to work with the Black soldiers- this was the first time that Black soldiers were allowed to pursue a career as a soldier within a "peace-time army". These were the Buffalo Soldiers- this was an option for former enslaved Black Americans as they were entitled to food everyday and a paycheck of $13 a month. The Buffalo Soldiers were stationed on the Western Frontier in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Utah, and Wyoming in order to "protect" white settlers from the Native Americans and to make sure treaties were being upheld. They made up 20% of the army presence in these areas. They also helped capture Billy the Kid, Geronimo. Name came from Native Americans because their hair was like that of the buffalo. Battled fiecely in wars, but several had to fight for recognition otherwise ignored because of racism. Genealogy; MP3 Converted (no tape), 1998

Ethnic Newspapers of the West by Jake Gehring; Session part of 1998 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States; Ethnic groups in America- because current US population is almost entirely tied to immigrant groups in the past several centuries, there are many ethnic newspapers to be found to really help track down family lines. Gehring talks about what you are able to find in ethnic newspapers in the Western United States, how the internet newspaper programs can help. 1732 German newspaper seems to be first ethnic press in the United States- the growth of ethnic newspapers corresponds pretty well to the growth of US immigration. Ethnic press for many is the defining publication for an ethnic community- social life, opinions, politics, business all reflected really well in the ethnic newspapers of a given community. Ethnic newspapers can take the form of faternal organizations, trade jounral, cultural sheet describing ethnic activites, and other forms. Natralizations records, ships passenger lists, censuses, family knowledge of history, etc- all can help deterime ethnicity and from there you can locate ethnic newspapers more easily that relate to your family history.

Spanish Archives Material: Not Just for Hispanics by Pamela Boyer Porter; Session part of 1998 National Genealogical Society Conference in the States; Porter grew up in Taos, New Mexico which gave her a base of knowledge of Spanish colonization in New Mexico and elsewhere in the United States, and the fact that looking for non-Hispanic records is much harder in these areas, as original Spanish colonial New Mexico ancestory records are extensive for those with that ancestry. No easily accesible single source of information about records of non-Hispanic settlers in the US in verious Spanish archive materials. If you're not Hispanic, why and how would these records help you with your own family history?: if you are from California or Texas they are especially relevent, but other states might not make sense. The history of the United States (as they are know now) started far before the Pilgrims with Spanish colonization; Spanish colonizers like Coronado explored the East Coast, South, Southwest, and some of the Mid-West like Kansas, Missiori and Nebraska, and the West Coast, as well through 1500s-1700s- even up in Alaska. Albuquerque was founded in 1706; The Spanish crown sent finacial help and even troops during the American Revolution from Florida. Spain sold the Lousiana Purchase to France, which was then sold to the United States, and then Flordia was sold to the US from Spain. Then all remaining Spanish territory (the Southwest) was in possession of Mexico, which the US then won and those records have non-Hispanic records for the Anglo settlers in those areas. 375 years of history and ancestry records. Spanish records available to genealogists: land records, church records, wills, censuses, legal records, births, marriges, deaths, immigrant records, etc. Records of enslaved Africans in Spanish records, with names and where they were taken. There are Native American records recorded in Spanish archival materials, as well, including slavery records, marriage records, etc. Look at local and state sources first!

La Llorna- Dreams- Dreams- Witchcraft by Nettie Chavez; Fed her kids to the pigs because she didn't want them anymore and is now cursed. La Llarona cried in their window two months before their daughter was killed. She won't pass on until the world ends. Sometimes she will let you know something that is good for you- might appear to you if you disobey your parents. She lives in the hills- that's where her voice comes from- she might live in the bosques, all around. There was a girl and her boyfriend who went over to the West Mesa and were parked. He left the car and said he'd come right back. All of a sudden while she was alone, she heard scraping the window- she refused to look at the noise. The boyfriend never came back. A cop came by to tell her he was hanging from a tree and to not look back. She can come in any shape. Random times she might come out and cry. Not necessarily connected to the devil, rather she is being punished by god. You can harm people with witchcraft, and speaker knows some witchcraft, but wouldn't ever use it. No such thing as something good in witchcraft. Albuquerque Historical Society; MP3 Converted, undated
