I sent for a land patent for whom I believed might be my great grandfather. It wasn't. It is the same name but my great grandfather was in Huerfano county in in the 1900 census. This patent was for in in, I believe Del Norte? I believe that is in San Luis? His name was Miguel Antonio Martinez. If anyone is doing research on that name in the north west quarter of Colorado and that name I will send the copy of the patent to you. Toni

Hi Toni, Del Norte is in Rio Grande County...BUT...there was a place called Del Norte in Huerfano County. It was situated north of Turner off of Hwy 69. My kids Dad was born right there and the Gomez, Martinez, Pino, and Vallejos' all lived in that area. Does the patent give the legal description?
