The Simancas Archives is a dissapointment for researching the military records for Colonial New Mexico. They only cover a short period of time and offer maybe up to 20 service records. The Spanish Archives of New Mexico (aka SANM, series II) have over 435 military enlistment records available and are available at the Family History Library. "''Military Records of Colonial New Mexico Notas y 'Revistas (Notes & Musters)''" is available at Family History Library and for purchase from Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico. "''The Santa Fe Presidio Soldiers - Their Donation to the American Revolution''" is available at the Family History Library and for purchase at the New Mexico Genealogy Society.'''<br>''' | The Simancas Archives is a dissapointment for researching the military records for Colonial New Mexico.

See [[New Mexico in the Civil War|New Mexico in the Civil War]] for information about New Mexico Civil War records, web sites, etc. with links to articles about the New Mexico regiments involved in the Civil War. | |||
The regimental pages often include lists of the companies with links to the counties where the companies started. Men in the companies often lived in the counties where the companies were raised. Knowing a county can help when researching more about the soldiers and their families. | |||
The [http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System] allows name searching for soldiers. The result set gives the regiments for the soldiers. Then you can check the Wiki regiment pages to determine counties. Often knowing the counties that had men in a regiment will help you determine if a soldier was your ancestor. <br><br> | |||
