We know very little - Just that my grandfather Elbert never knew his parents and briefly
met his grandmother in Northern California (near Hayward) in or around 1914. I do not
know her first name, but she referenced her son (my great grandfather) being named Joaquin
but called Elbert as was his father. I know she was somewhat well off as my grandfather
referenced her "servants". In addition, she noted having been born in 1830 and
moving to Taos with her husband in 1848 living there until 1866. I am not clear about the
rest although my grandfather always told us that his grandmother would have nothing to do
with him since his mother was native american and his grandmother told him her ranch in
Taos was burned by "indians" and they killed her sister. I have been looking for
information for so long, but just keep hitting dead ends. I would love to find this out
for my father. Any assistance is so appreciated.
