Looking for any information on the AMADOR family in Dona Ana County area.

APODACA / MARTINEZ / LOBATO
I am looking for information on the following people:
Vidal APODACA listed in the 1880 census in Dona Ana County (Chamberino) and also in the 1900 census for Sierra County (Derry). Born about 1934. He was married to Daria MARTINEZ, born about 1853, and had 6 children, that I know of: Tomasa born in October 1871 and married Jose MARTINEZ (their children:Luis Flores born 1891, Pedro born 1897, Nestora born 1899, and Tomas Martinez born in 1900); Melquiades, born about 1869; Maria, born about 1870; Luz, born about 1868; Eligio, born 1875, wifes name was Juliana; Guadalupe APODACA born December 1881, married Ramona DURAN who was born about 1884 and later died due to the Spanish influenza outbreak. I do not know whether or not they had children, but would like to know if they did. My great-grandfather, Guadalupe, then married Basilia APODACA, born in 1898 in Dona Ana County. Her family lived in Hatch/Rincon/Derry.
It is not yet known whether or not Basilia and Guadalupe were related. Basilias parents were Victoriano APODACA, born about 1876 and Felisita LOBATO, born about 1880. Together they had 7 children, that I know of: Basilia, born in 1898; Isidra; Inocente; Ernesto; Roberto, born September 1905; Apolonia; Fransisca, born June 04, 1902. Fransisca married Tomas MARTINEZ, who was the son of Guadulupes sister Tomasa.
Victoriano's mother is listed as Refugia "Cuca" LOVATO, born about 1854. Guadalupe, was at one time a judge, or justice of the peace and also a mail carrier. Many members of this family are found in the Sierra County census of 1900 in Derry. If anyone has any info at all, about any of the above mentioned names, please email me. Thanks, Stephanie Apodaca email

APODACA / CHAVEZ / GONZALES / LINO / MAESE I Am conducting family research around the DONA ANA COUNTY areas. The family research surnames that I Am researching are: CHAVEZ, MAESE, APODACA, LINO, and GONZALES. I Am especially interested in obtaining any information on my great-grandfather JOSE CHAVEZ, who was the sheriff of Dona Ana County in the early 1900's. Don Jose Chavez lived with his wife, DONA JOSEFA MAESE CHAVEZ, IN THE MESILLA, NEW MEXICO community. JOSEFA M. CHAVEZ passed away in 1910, and as far as I know JOSE CHAVEZ continued to live in MESILLA, NEW MEXICO. I would appreciate any information regarding my Great grandfathers death information, etc., etc. All of our family's elders have all passed away, and I got into this family research effort rather late in my life, and that is the reason our family history is so sketchy at this point. Our family is very appreciative. Please contact me at: [email protected] Tony

BARELA
I would like to find out more information on my great-grandfather BARELA who was an early farm owner in Las Cruces, New Mexico. His name was JESUS BARELA his wife was Florencia BARELA.

DELFIN / PEDRAZA / TELLES / TRUJILLO
My great grandfather Leandro Telles b. 1856 in Santo Tomas, NM and d. 1939 in Jerome, AZ, and buried at San Miguel Cemetery in San Miguel, NM was married to Leandra Rojas b. 1858 in Santo Tomas, NM and d. 1925 in San Miguel, NM. I have been able to track both of them through a marriage record dated 7 Jan 1878 At San Albino Catholic Church and the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census reports. I have a death certificate for each of them and my great-grandmother cites Santos Rojas and Martina Garcia as her parents, which I've been able to confirm with an 1860 and 1870 census. Leandro on the other hand identifies his parents as Pedro Telles and Luz Pedraza, however, I've been told that he is the brother of Felicita Delfin. I located the Delfin family on the 1870 census and it lists 6 children that includes Felicita and Leandro. Leandro is 12 and lives 2 houses away from Leandra who is 10. I have been able to locate a christening record and a marriage record for! every child except Leandro. Every christening record states that the parents were Juan Delfin and Luz Pedraza. I am trying to confirm if
Leandro Telles and Leandro Delfin are one and the same. I've included the Trujillo name because Felicita eventually married Alejandro Trujillo
in San Miguel and both of them lived and died there so perhaps this information might ring a bell with someone. What throws off my
information is that I have a picture signed by Pedro Telles in 1876 and I have a picture addressed to Leandro from his brother Hijinio Telles dated 1905. Luz Pedraza lived to 108 and went back and forth with the Pedraza and Delfin name and was never recorded as a Telles. Al Lowe email
