What's a Remolino?

Remolino is Spanish for swirl, whirl, and/or a throng (mass of people).  In some places, it may also be used for vortex and tumbleweed.

The Martinez clans of North America are vast and Martinez is the most prolific surname in Colorado and New Mexico. But, with every new marriage, the clans expand to include new geneologies and surnames. This endless array of families creates a remolino of peoples that expands across the globe.

One sliver of that throng includes the Martinez, Martin, and Martin Serrano families descended from Spanish settlers who came into Northern New Mexico beginning in 1598, and inter-married with regional indigenous populations. It is from that lineage that we bring to you this family website.
