Last summer on a road trip home to West Texas I stopped to visit a family gravesite in Garfield, New Mexico where several of my ancestors are buried.  I am descended from New Mexican farmers who had been in what is now New Mexico since Spanish colonial times.

Here are a few pictures I took.  Click to enlarge.

Below is the gravestone of my great-great grandparents Sixto and Cesaria Ogaz née Ceniceros.  The Ceniceroses have been in New Mexico for centuries.  Sixto, however, was an ethnic Basque and native Donostiarra, that is he was from San Sebastián, España, or as the Basques call the centuries old city, Donostia.  He immigrated to the newly admitted State of Texas while still a boy in 1847.
