The Hunt for Nicolás
-
This essay originally appeared on the Manitos Digital Resolana, a blog site meant to reconnect, recollect, record, and reflect on the shared cultural heritage of manitos, as people from rural northern New Mexico and southern Colorado call themselves.
In this entry, Miguel Tórrez discusses a genealogy project he undertook in which he helped three friends with surnames Espinosa trace their family lineage. Using Y-DNA, Tórrez traced the Espinosa name back to the 1695 colonists Nicolás de Espinosa and Josefa de la Cruz, as well as the migration of the Espinoza family throughout the country.
