A very special thanks goes to John B. Colligan for making the 1803 census of the parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalpe del Paso del Río del Norte available to the public on-line. The material presented here in this series of linked pages represents 92 pages of print information divided into 11 linked web pages. John and I not only share a passion for New Mexico genealogy, we both strongly believe in conducting high quality and credible genealogical research, preparing research findings for print or the Internet, and sharing the research with others. A great many hours of work went into the 1803 census of the parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Please forward any messages of gratitude for the on-line availability of this material to jesquibel@yahoo.com and the messages will be forwarded to John B. Colligan
