Hi Yolanda,
Actually in the three webpages I mentioned in the bottom they have maps indicating the place of origin of the most distant ancestor of the people tested for the different haplogroups. You can zoom in the maps and select haplogroups to show. Ancestry.com has similar maps in the DNA section.

I am not sure if you ever found this website, but I found it very helpful to anyone who can trace their lineage this far back into New Spain’s early history.
The following is a link to the list of men who were a part of Don Juan de Onate’s original expedition and subsequent re-enforcements.

Yes, I have known about it for several years now. I used to e-mail back and forth with Gary and he was very helpful. My Olague ancestors are on his Onate lists, as well as my Marquez ancestors.

One thing I want to do one of these days is to send in my DNA for Gary’s DNA of Mexico project. Did you read abut that?

Yes, I have read about that. His website is quite informative actually.
Although, what would have made a good addition is possible lists of those colonists and soldiers that were part of the reconquest of New Mexico in the 1690’s.
Has anyone happened to come across that sort of information?

I know this is going out of the geographic area, but considering many of Onate’s troops came from this area, perhaps many of the colonists and troops came from this area as well to reconquore New Mexico. After all, Chihuahua and the settlements of the Rio Grande in particular were suffering from constant Native American attacks to have composed the majority of the Spanish forces.
