Preserving Our Heritage
The Fray Angélico Chávez Chapter (FACC), a chapter of the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and sharing the rich Hispanic heritage of Colorado, New Mexico, and the American Southwest.
Through genealogy, historical research, education, publications, and community outreach, we connect individuals and families with their ancestors while preserving the stories, traditions, and cultural legacy that define our communities.
We believe every family has a story worth discovering, preserving, and passing on to future generations.
