I'm trying to let all who respond to my inquires know how much I appreciate your help. So here I go again with the next entry. There is a possibility some of the Family on my mother side ( the Holguins ) could have gone on to New Mexico. These are the facts as I know them. I've found border crossing documents showing Nicolas Holguin Sr. born in 1846 in Parral Chihuahua, Roasrio Holguin born in 1886 in Jimenez, Chihuahua, Nicolas Holguin Jr. born in 1896 in Jimenez, Chihuahua. In this same border crossing it also shows the children of Donaciano Barajas and Rosario Holguin. There names, Norberta Barajas born in 1912 in Jimenez, Chihuahua, Soledad Barajas born in 1914 in Jimenez, Chihuahua. There is also a Jose Porras born in 1907 in Jimenez, Chihuahua. He is listed as nephew to my grandfather Donaciano Barajas. Why my uncle Julian Barajas born in 1903 in Jimenez, Chihuahua, And My Mother Elvira Barajas born in 1913 in Santa Rosalia, Chihuahua. Are not list! ed, has always been a mystery to me. I regret very much not asking more questions while my mother was still living. In addition I have been able to get information that may be fact. My grandfather remarried and moved to Ca. taking my uncle Julian with him. I am told that Mrs Holguin ( my Grandmother) went back to Mexico and took my mother with her. Shortly there after she died and my mother was put in an orphanage. Years later my uncle Julian went back for her,and she joined my grandfather in Camarillo, Ca. My grandfather died in Oxnard, Ca. My uncle in Arvin, Ca. And my mother in Santa Maria, Ca. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
