Jill Boronda Rushton
Currectly I am director of the Albuquerque West/Rio Rancho FamilySearch Center. That just means that I spend a lot of time trying to keep our library updated and our staff updated. My area of expertise in the FamilySearch library is New Mexico Native American research. Most of my research in this area has been with Navajos, but I have helped a few Pueblo Natives as well. I hope to start working with Apaches soon.

My maiden name, Boronda, is from Jose Manuel Boronda, who was born in Mexico about 1750. He and just about everyone else in my Dad's family line came to California from Mexicio before 1810. I also have one Los Angeles Mission Indian in my Dad's family too. My mother was the first Anglo-American to be a part of the Boronda family.

If anyone is interested, I am mother of six and grandmother of 24. My husband and I will be married 43 years in December 2011. I am also a pastel landscape painter.
