JUNE 16 - The Basque Connection to New Mexican Families
(Haplogroup R1b1)
The Basques are an indigenous people who inhabit parts of both Spain and France. Today, the Basque Country, or Euskal Herria, is composed of seven provinces which are arranged in three district parts. Three provinces in Spain: Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, and Araba - Compose the Basque Autonomous Community. The historically Basque province of Navarre forms its own community in Spain. The last three provinces: Zuberoa, Lapurdi, and Behe-Nafarroa-lie on the French side of the border.
JUNE 30 - The Sephardic Jews and the Colonization of New Mexico (Haplogroup J1)
The connection between the Sephardic Jews and certain New Mexico families will be explored through Y-DNA results and family history. We will discuss which families show the markers most identified with this ancient civilization and explore the colonial inquisition and its role in judicial policy of the New Mexico colony. The results of the research may surprise you.
JULY 14 - The Meso-American Connection to New Mexico Families
(Mt-DNA Haplogroups A & C)
Mesoamerica is a region and cultural area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Come explore the connection with the Mēxihcahs, the Tlaxcallāns, and the Chichimecas.
JULY 28 - The Hisatsinom (Anasazi) Connection to New Mexican Families (Mt-DNA Haplogroup B)
Ancient Pueblo peoples (Hisatsinom) were an ancient Native American culture centered on the present-day Four Corners area of the United States, comprising southern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. They lived in a range of structures, including pit houses, pueblos, and cliff dwellings designed so that they could lift entry ladders during enemy attacks, which provided security.
