Mision de Corpus Cristi de la Ysleta del Sur. Nuestra Se ora de la Purisima Concepci n, in the present day town of Socorro, Texas, went by many names over the years. The existing building was swept away in a flood in 1829 when the course of the Rio Grande changed, leaving the settlement of Socorro on the north bank instead of the south. In 1848, the territory became part of the United States, but the mission continued to be governed from Durango, Mexico, until 1872. By 1881, all Indians were completely assimilated.
Collection includes records of baptisms, marriages, an index for marriage records, and interments.
