Hello everyone

[pammijo58]

I am new here. I stumbled onto your site by accident. I am trying to find information on a ghost town in New Mexico. It was Givens, NM and was named after my fathers family. He was the first postmaster, and nothing remains of the town. As crazy as this seems, I want to know who owns the land now, but I don't have quite enough information. If anyone knows anything about it, or jas some idea who I could contact, that would be wonderful.

Hey, thank you everyone! I have actually gathered some new information just from these links, and now have some new avenues to explore! My brother is interested in working with a Wind power company, and Roosevelt county seems to have some of it!
