Archibeque

The ancestry of Juan de Archibeque (also known as Jean L'Archeveque, ONMF: 129) was traced several generations into France by Paul Trujillo. His findings were published in Herencia (Vol. 3, January 1995, Issue 1), the quarterly journal of the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico, in an article titled "Los Franceses of Seventeenth Century New Mexico: Jean L'Archeveque, Jacques Grolet, and Pierre Meusnier." The valuable genealogical information in this article is a must for any descendant of Juan de Archibeque. Information is provided on his paternal and maternal ancestry, and is based on sacramental records of marriage and baptism. Back issues of Herencia can be ordered through the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico website. Detailed historical information about Jean L'Archeveque, Jacques Grolet, and Pierre Meusnier can be read in The Spanish Recolonization of New Mexico by José Antonio Esquibel and John B. Colligan.
