I am trying to find any information about my greatgrandmother Maria Estefanita Trujillo,I know she was born 8/12/1880 in Colorado and had a brother named Cirilio Trujillo but I can't seem to find her parents names or any information about her before1897 when she married my greatgrandpa Felipe Aragon. I do know they had 8 children and lived in Trinidad most of their lives. If anyone has any information about her I would sure appreciate anything any one can help me with.

Pat,thank you for the info.
I don't know why in the 1900 census it shows that Veneranda Trujillo Montoya is Widowed as I found the family in the 1910 census and just notice that Cirilo Montoya and Veneranda Trujillo are the godparents to George Aragon in the baptismal record extracted by Pat.
