What’s Up Your Family Tree?

Make history again by sharing your family photos, diaries, letters, and other historic memorabilia or family ephemera with Friends of the City of Las Vegas Museum.

Just in time for New Mexico’s centennial, the Friends will be publishing a photographic history of the first century of Las Vegas entitled: Las Vegas, NM: Boomtown on the Southwestern Frontier, and would like your family to be a part of it. So, get into the attics and basements of Las Vegas! Call your tias and abuelas to see what’s in their shoeboxes and family Bibles!

In addition, historian and contributing editor, Elmo Baca is seeking to include brief essays and other literary expressions from the general public to help explore the major themes to be included in the book. Submissions will be accepted through Friday, April 1, 2011.

For detailed information and submission guidelines call the Museum at 426.3205.

Nancy Colalillo, member, committee on Las Vegas, NM: Boomtown on the Southwestern Frontier

  1. I understand that my great grandfather, Dr. Joseph Martin Cunningham (1846-1922), after whom my father (1904-1970) was named, was an osteopathic physician and surgeon, President of the San Miguel National Bank in 1892, and the second mayor of East Las Vegas, New Mexico. I am interested in finding out more about his life and family. Any information or suggestions about where to find more information would be appreciated.
