Thanks for visiting!
My name is Theresa Torres Mata, I was born in Roswell, New Mexico to Johnny and Teresita (Torres) Mata, in 1953. I started my research about thirty years ago.
At first I thought I only needed to know about my grandparents, but as the years passed it turned out that I have gone back to the early 1600's.
I have done more research on my mother's side, mainly because of easier access to church records and being around the family.
My mother, uncles, aunts, and many family members and friends gave me a lot of information and stories about the family.
My father was not a Catholic so there weren't church records to research. I keep finding information and have many stories to share.
I decided to share as much as I can to leave a gift for our family to treasure for ever.
Be sure and look at the family trees. I have entered over 2000 individuals, over 500 marriages, and the earlist birth was 1665 of Jacinto de Inigo Lopez Sanchez.
Charlie Bowdre and "Doc" Josiah Scurlock married two of Fernando Herrera's daughters. They rode with The Regulators in the Lincoln County War along with Billy the Kid. Fernando was known as an expert marksman. Another daughter of Fernando Herrera was my great-great-grandmother Maria Alta Gracia. She was married to William "Billy" Gill, who discovered the first gold mine in Nogal, Lincoln County, New Mexico.
My childhood memories of Glencoe in Lincoln County, New Mexico, were so enjoyable. I remember the loud noise of the river, which ran in front of the house that we visited, usually summer vacations.

We estimate that the cost of meals will be around $20 per person for Saturday. This incudes a light breakfast, full lunch and dinner. Please track me down (or my husband Roger) on Saturday to reimburse me for the cost of meals.
What I need from you guys ASAP is a list of full names of who is coming with each you as Martha Harbuck and Grace Buckbee are making name tags for everyone. Please include the full name of the person(s) and which of Doc's children or Scurlock branch you stem from. Also, we are setting up a scanning station for those of you who would like to bring photos or documents to share with everyone.

My heart is beating and I can't wait for the festivities!
