Sanchez/Tafoya/Martinez

[Karen O]

I am looking for information on Cruz Sanchez and his wife Cora Martinez. They had daughters Albina(Elma) and Maisie born around 1903 in Trinidad. Albina married Henry Tafoya and ended up in Michigan and died at 98 years of age. If any of these names sound familiar I sure would like to hear from you.

RE: CRUZ SANCHEZ

I don't know that this is the person you are seeking, but in the Holy Trinity (Trinidad, CO) Baptisms 1866-1870, compiled & translated by Dr. E.L. Torres, there is a baptismal record for JOSE de la CRUZ SANCHEZ, baptized 3 Mar 1869, son of Jujan [sic] (Julian?) Sanchez de San Francisco & Rosario Mestas. Godparents: Julian Mares & Brigida Sanchez.
(Note: San Francisco, E or W of Trindad?).

I did not see a record for Cora Martinez in this publication of baptisms.

Thank you for the posting on Sanchez. I have no idea if this could be the same Sanchez family. I do not know Cruz'z parents, only wife and 2 daughters names. Thanks !!!!

Cruz Sanchez son of Juan Sanchez and Rosario Mestas married Socorro Martinez daughter of Narciso Martinez and Sabornita(?)Gurule. They married 6/14/1897 Holy Trinity Church Trinidad CO. Colorado License #2628 Las Animas County CO. Their daughter Albinita Sanchez married Trinity H. Tafoya 7/5/1919 in Boulder County Colorado, License #6195.
Gloria posted the correct baptism for Cruz 3/3/1869 (Jose de la Cruz is his given name).
:)Good luck
