This is an email from Mike Montoya that provided me with an excellent research website if you are interested in reading more about the Montoya families in New Mexico.

I am enclosing a website that contains a 20 page handwritten Montoya genealogy from the papers of Judge Thomas Catron. These are housed in the University of New Mexico general library. I am sure there are common ancestors in these papers for all of us.

If there are any "cousins" out there with any genealogical info for the Montoya family from El Rito (in Rio Arriba), NM related to Antonio Nerio or the Luis Martin Serrano line, I would love to hear from you and exchange information:
