We have rosary beads from a couple of 19th century households in north-central New Mexico. We also have a center-piece (is that the correct name?) and part of a crucifix from one of those households. I can provide references if you'd like.

Hi All,
I'm looking for information about rosaries from the California Missions.  We got 1, perhaps 2, from near the San Juan Capistrano Mission.  I need pictures or illustrations.
Thanks in advance.
