Hi List, I realize this is probably a pretty big favor to ask. However, I am looking for information from the 1910 census for La Vita, Huerfano County. I am trying to find any information at all on Martin Atyayde, father of my great aunt. This is the ONLY census he would be in because he died the next year, and before that he was in Mexico. MARTIN ATAYDE was born 1868 in Coahuila, Mexico, and died September 14, 1911. He married ASCENSION VIGIL 1909, daughter of JOSE VIGIL and MARIA VALDEZ. She was born June 17, 1881 in Cuchara, Huerfano County, CO, and died March 17, 1948. Martin Atayde was thought to be a Spaniard, well educated, and born to a wealthy family in Coahuila. Martin was connected with the Mexican government in some way. He was thought to have had a wife and two children in Coahuila. When Martin Atayde was exiled, possibly for gun running, he was unable to return to Mexico. Martin Atayde started a new life, in La Vita, Huerfano County, CO with a new wife, Ascension Vigil, and fathered Lydia and Martina prior to his untimely death by a fall into a mine shaft. When he died, the Mexican government sent a flag and a certificate to his family. There items were stored away in a trunk and left with a relative for safe keeping over 70 years ago. His widow, ASCENSION VIGIL was working as a cook in a mining boardinghouse when she met and married Jose Petrolino Garcia. Children of MARTIN ATAYDE and ASCENSION VIGIL are: i. LYDIA ATAYDE, b. April 16, 1910, La Vita, Huerfano County; d. August 1976, Crystal, Hennepin County, MN ii. MARTINA ATAYDE, was born after her fathers death, in La Vita, Huerfano County. Martina would love to find the items her mother left for safe keeping with relatives. She is 91 years old now and has known nothing about her father for all these years. So I said I would try to see if anyone out there can do a census lookup and give me the information on is as a starting point to see if I can find more information on Martin. I appreciate any help anyone can give me one this. Marji Sorley
