La Mesilla, New Mexico

 


This Photo was taken in La Mesilla around 1900.  These are family members related to the Lucero's, Provencio's, and Albillar's. My dad Benjamin L. Apodaca got this photo while searching for our Lucero lineage. He met his cousin Eustolia in Anthony, New Mexico while researching information about his grandfather Hesiquio Lucero who was born in Mesilla, New Mexico in 1852. Eustolia's grandmother was Marianna Lucero who is the half sister of my grandfather Benjamin Lucero Apodaca. Eustolia had this photo in her possession. She gave my dad this copy. Here are some names to the people in this photo.  

Second Row, second man from left is Crescencio Albillar, below him is his wife Gregoria Lucero half sister to my grandfather. The fourth man in the second row is my half Great-uncle Alcario Lucero, brother of my grandfather Benjamin Apodaca Sr.. Below Alcario is his wife Felipa Provencio, and their daughter Albina Lucero. Albina Lucero would be my dads half first cousin.
