Note: Beyond generation II, the genealogy shows only those individuals who are named in the land grant case files, or have descendants who are named.

Sources: All genealogical information is from land grant case files, available at Ancestry.com (New Mexico, U.S., Land Records of New Spain, 1692-1916, Land Grant Case Files), or church and census records, available at FamilySearch.org. In some cases, estimated years of birth or marriage have been deduced based on other contextual clues.

Nomenclature: There are two original grantees in Generation I, so they have been designated A and B, respectively. The descendants of person A and their spouse are Generation II, labelled A1, A2, A3, etc. in sequential order. The same follows for person B and their spouse. The designation given to each subsequent set of descendants continues with each generation by alternating between numbers or letters, in sequential order. In cases where an individual has more than once spouse, a (1) or (2) is added to indicate whether the descendant is from the first or second spouse, respectively.

The advantage of this system is that any person in the tree can easily be traced back to their ancestor simply by looking at their designation. In addition, any two individuals can be compared to see how they are related simply by comparing their classifications, rather than having to map out each of their respective trees. For example:

A4(2)a. Román Antonio Baca

B1(1)b. Nerio Antonio Montoya

Both of these individuals are from Generation III. They had common great-grandparents (the parents of A & B). Therefore, they are second-cousins. Here is another example:

A2. María Lorenza de los Dolores García de Noriega

A1a1. Santiago García y Montoya

The first individual is from Generation II and the second is from Generation IV. Santiago's grandfather (A1) was the sibling of María Lorenza (A2), therefore, María Lorenza is Santiago's great-aunt.
