Tombstone

Research Notes: The first week of February 2022, I received three boxes with photos and papers that were in Chele's house when it was cleaned out.  I had asked to sell or give away everything except photos and papers that might have family history.  I have quickly gone through one of the boxes and found several documents for Maria Lujan including here wedding certificate and some documents pertaining to the property where she moved her house next to 'Uelas's house.  I will add those later as I don't have time right now.
