Andrew,
I spent some time in New Mexico a couple of years ago looking up our name and found it to be quite interesting.
In Dixon, New Mexico, north of Santa Fe, the town is filled with Atencio's as is most of the grave yards listing Atencio's back to the 1700's.In checking the archives in Santa Fe, I ran into a man who asked if I was having problems looking for someone.Any way, there were on;y 7 first families who came to New Mexico from Spain in the early 1600's.Most of the people in Dixon are all light complected and either have hazel or green eyes and freckles.Quite a few with red hair.Let me know what you have so far.
Thanks,
Ray Atencio
