FamilySearch has added to a collection that should interest those with Jewish ancestry in the American southwest. That collection, New Mexico Deaths, 1889-1945, is part of the Historical Records Collections at FamilySearch.org. the collection includes over 175,000 records. Statewide registration of vital records didn't begin until 1920, however there are records in the collection that go back as far as 1889. These records came from institutions that were not health related, such as counties and churches.
