Welcome!
Socorro County, New Mexico has
a rich family history that is especially exciting to
explore.
Socorro (So-kó-ro) was the name conferred by the Spanish
conquistador Don Juan de Oñate in 1598 upon a Pueblo near
the present city of Socorro. Friendly Piro Indians there
presented him and his troops with food and provisions. Thus,
he named the area "succor" or "help."
