New member introducing myself

Question

Hey! My name is Alexander Vigil and I'm looking to find some more specifics about family we lost along the way. My Grandfather, Jose (Joe) Vigil came from Alamosa Colorado, My grandmother's (Pritchard) parents came from wales, on the other side the Whites were immigrants from ireland around 1914(?), my grandmother's (winter) family having come from germany. I'm interested to learn more about my family pre-america, where they all come from and how they have continued, and also to learn sbout all the Vigils in the southwest and where we all are from. If anyone can help me get started, that would be great! looking forward to finding some kind of cousins.
