BACKGROUND:
City Council Member Sarah Martinez is requesting $2,000 to support the Annual
Conference, "History in Our Own Backyard," at Colorado State University Pueblo from

National Genealogical Society of Hispanic America will be in Pueblo for its annual
meeting hosted by the local chapter. About 220 people are expected to attend from
California, Utah, New Mexico and throughout Colorado. Events will be based out of
Colorado State University Pueblo with extra outings to the Pueblo Heritage Museum, El
Pueblo History Museum, and a field trip to the Battlefield of De Anza and Cuerno
Verde.
The purpose of the GSHA is to promote Hispanic genealogical and historical research
and education, and to expand awareness and knowledge of Hispanic culture, history
and traditions. GSHA's objectives are to promote the sharing and dissemination of
genealogical research and information, to create mutual support for genealogical
research, to promote and maintain communication with the Hispanic community and
with other societies and organizations which provide genealogical and historical
information, to educate and encourage its members and the public to share information
and to create support for genealogical research and appropriate documentation.
The Genealogical Society of Hispanic America (GSHA) publishes Nuestras Raíces (Our
Roots), a quarterly journal for our members as a benefit of membership. Nuestras
Raíces provides in-depth informative articles related to Hispano genealogy, history,
culture, and traditions.
The event is open to the public and will be held at the Colorado State University Pueblo
and the Pueblo Heritage Museum.
