New Family Search

Our area has been added to the New Family Search for Family History/Geneology research. With just a few clicks and linking up a couple of ancestors from geneology we already had done, I was able to scroll back in my dad's family into the 1400s in Spain and found some people named Captain! Exciting!

Here's one of them:

Captain Tristan de Luna Arellano (1486 - 1573) born in Castilla, Spain; died in Mexico City, Mexico

Hmmm... Jeff tells me he suspects some of these ancestors came with Cortez to "convert" the natives in America since a lot of them were born in Spain and had children in Mexico, then died in Spain and seemed to be going back and forth between the two places. So interesting!
