This week’s blogging prompt is the State of Arizona. Blog about an ancestor or your families connection to Arizona. If you don’t have any connections to Arizona, find a Arizona resource useful for genealogy research to highlight and write about. This week’s prompt runs from 12/1/2013 – 12/7/2013. If you choose to follow along, I would appreciate a mention to the Hidden Genealogy Nuggets website.

As of now, I have yet to find any family connections to Arizona. Therefore I will highlight one resource from Arizona. The Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records has a wonderful collection of online records. Check out the Arizona Digital Newspaper Program. There are quite a few digital copies of early newspapers. For advice on using newspapers for genealogical research, see an earlier post on Hidden Genealogy Nuggets.
Another interesting section of this website is the Arizona Memory Project.

I do not have any family connections to New Mexico, so I will just highlight a genealogy resource for New Mexico.
I did not find any one great on-line resource which contains records useful for New Mexico Genealogy Resource. However, the New Mexico GenWeb is still a great site to explore. From here, you could navigate to some of the county specific GenWeb Pages. These county pages often contain transcribed records of births, marriages and deaths. For example, the Catron County GenWeb has transcribed marriage records as well of other types of records.
If you have family connections to New Mexico, be sure to check out this site and the ones listed below.
