Eric Broderson, the president of the Archuleta County Genealogical Society, will speak on “Lessons & Experiences in Searching Family Hispanic Roots.” Eric has conducted extensive research on the Santa Cruz family from Sonora, Mexico. Eric’s wife, Cora Mary Santa Cruz Broderson, inspired his work and he has studied Catholic church and civil records, and the history of the Sonora River Valley as it relates to the history of the American Southwest. In addition, he has tracked down clues from books, online data bases and significant repositories. In 2010, they traveled to Spain to learn about the Spanish New World. They visited the Old Ship Yard at Barcelona, the Spanish New World Archives in Sevilla, and the Prado in Madrid. Eric and Cora are very knowledgeable and you don’t want to miss this presentation!
