(Before Lethal Injection)

The topic of executions is not the most pleasant in researching genealogy but is a part of our history.  We all have an ancestor in our family tree that seems to have vanished and maybe one can be found here. 

New Mexico Genealogy Trails gratefully acknowledges the source of information below as coming from Rob Gallagher's former website
BEFORE THE NEEDLES, which contained The History of Executions In America Before Lethal Injection.
