For sometime I have been compiling my family history. Recently my "manuscript" I sent to a distant relative, common relative is my gr gr grandfather, or easier for me is my beloved grandfathers grandfather and grandmother! At a very early age, I was very aware of my grandfathers half sister. I listened to the "oral history" surrounding my beloved Juanita aka Vita, my nanny, our babysitter, and the ranch worker. When I became involved with genealogy, I asked questions regarding Nanny Vita. I located Juanita's birth record (1871) born to papa Eusevio and mamma Amadita, marriage of my Eusevio and Amadita was 1879. huuuuummm! Seems great granddad and an Indian Maiden had created this lovely person! Few years ago, an elderly relative finally stated that Juanita's bio-mom was a "genizaro" or slave/indentured servant to my gr gr great grandparents! In my "manuscript" I mention this fact plus that when Eusevio and Amadita were married (1879) THEY went into the area of North Cental New Mexico or even South Central Colorado and THEY located Juanita who was being raised by the mothers tribe. They took Juanita home and Juanita was raised with her 7 half -siblings, the children of Eusevio and Amadita's marriage. I do want to mention that she was much loved by her half/siblings, her nieces and nephews, and the more elder of the great nieces/nephews. In fact, I maintain close contact to Juanita's granddaughter and her children. Out of this came about questions regarding the Indian Slave Trade of New Mexico etc. Asked many questions about "genizaros" or indentured servants. Apparently it is a subject that is well hidden, swept under the rug, never discussed! Hence the book "Captive Cousins", by James F. Brooks. I doubt seriously that I shall find her name listed but her history is in there-well hidden! Sharing and passing along a reference for you! Glory Bee
