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."
