Hello List - I am writing to see if anyone has information that can help me with my research of my great grandmother and her side of the family. My great grandmother's name was Eva Martinez and she was married to Rafael Sena. I believe they were married about 1899 in New Mexico, but I am not sure where. Eva and Rafael were both from New Mexico - Rafael was born in Santa Fe and I am not sure of the exact location for Eva. Eva's parents were Abran Martinez and Antonita Pacheco. Eva was born February 8, 1881, and died February 27, 1917, in Walsenburg at the age of 36. According to the 1910 census for Colorado, Las Animas County, Cokedale, Rafael and Eva Sena were living on Lacaivanna Avenue with their children Estella, Maclovia, Veronis, and a cousin Vivianita Sena. I believe Eva's father and siblings were also living with them according to the census. They were Abran Martinez, brothers Manuel and Jose A., and a sister, Maria. Rafael Sena, Abran, Manuel and Jose A. Martinez were all listed as coal miners. The 1920 census for Colorado, Huerfano County, Walsenburg, shows that Rafael Sena was living on West 4 Street with his children Stella, Veronis, Andres (my grandfather) and Aguinaldo (Lalo). My great grandmother was gone by this time as was one of their children, Maclovia. Also shown living on the same street was Jose A. Martinez, his wife, Vivianita, and their children Abran, Patrocinia, and Jose V. Manuel Martinez, his wife, Estifanita, and their children Doloritas, Fermin, and Antonio were also living on West 4 Street. (I do know that my grandfather's aunt's name was Estifanita Martinez.) According to this census, Rafael Sena and Jose A. Martinez were coal miners. Manuel Martinez was a carpenter. Also shown living on the same street was a Maria Martinez, Laundress, living with her daughter Aurora Romero, and an Abran Martinez living with his wife Antonia, also a Laundress. I am wondering if this is Eva's sister Maria and father, Abran. My great grandfather, Rafael Sena, remarried in 1927 to Beneranda Manzanares in Walsenburg. They had a son, Tobias, born in 1928. My great grandmother died when my grandfather was 7 years old. I would like to find more information about her and her daughter, Maclovia, who died very young. I have been writing to obtain information from other sources, but so far have not had any responses. If anyone has information about this Martinez family, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you! Sandy
