Sally Kading, a long-time member of both the Doña Ana County Genealogical Society and the Doña Ana County Historical Society, will talk about DACHS' purchase of the Old Picacho Cemetery, formerly known as El Campo Santo de la Familia Sagrada. Sally will talk about the history of the long abandoned cemetery, and the effort to clean it up and identify the people buried there. Sally led DACGS' Pioneer Families of the Mesilla Valley project, which indexed records of local churches and is available in the Genealogy section of the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library.
