[Bransford]

My name is Mary Ann Bransford Romero. I am a direct decendant of William "Billy" and Royal Red/Manuel Bransford. They were my great-great-grandparents. I noticed their names mentioned frequently in past postings.

My great-grandparents were Maximo and Juana Trujillo. Like the Bransfords, they came to Trinidad from Mora, NM. Maximo's daughter, Delecia, married William "Billy" Bransford's grandson, J. B.(Juan Bautista)Bransford... my grandparents.

I am making a sort of genealogical scrapbook for my children and grandchildren. This Web Site seemed like a good place to search for information. I was hoping to find some pictures. I have a few but would like more. I found some on the Denver Public Library Web Site, mostly of Chief Red Cloud, Royal Red's brother.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mary Ann, thank you for your post as I am now able to add more info to Juana Maria Lucero and Maximo Trujillo line. Juana Maria is sister to my great grandmother, Felicita. Do you have a marriage date for Delecia Trujillo and Juan Bautista Bransford? Would like any info you can provide.

I must have gotten my information wrong somewhere along the way. I have Jose Maximo's parents as Jose Delores Trujillo and Maria Trinidad Lavidia? Could you please help me get the right info? Jose Maximo was my great great grandfather. His son Esquipulo was my great grandfather. And Esquipulo's daughter Josefina is my grandmother. She will be 88 next month.
Thanks
Frank

Dear Frank, I posted the entry the way it is in the book. I will have to see if I can get to the library this week and look it up. But if you have the films in Pueblo you can check it out. I'll let you know. Can you tell me where your grandfather Esquipulo was born and when?
I'll see what I can do.....

Thank you for all the responses. This is all very interesting.

I do not know the exact date of my grandparents' (Juan Bautista and Delecia)marriage. It was probably in late 1908 or early 1909 since their first child, Juanita (who died at 11 months of age) was born in 1910. I will try to find the exact dates through church records.

Esquipula Trujillo was my grandmother's youngest brother. I keep in touch with his daughter, Josie (Josefina), who is now in a nursing home in Pueblo, as well as with Robert Cordova, her son.

I don't know the names of my great-grandfather, Maximo's parents. I only remember my Grandma Delecia mentioning her grandmother, Altagracia, who was her maternal grandmother.

Thanks again for your responses.

Frank according to the above census there is a Jose Dolores Trujillo who lives next to Maximo. This Jose Dolores is 44, Maximo is 35, maybe they are brothers. There is also a Luis Trujillo who lives with Maximo, he is 21.
