Dave,
I found them in the 1900 US Census, Burro Canyon, Las Animas, Colorado.
Juan Deherra 30 born Jan 1870, Colorado,parents born Co.
Antonia Deherra 189 born Feb 1888, born Colorado, father
born in Colorado, mother born in New Mexico
Luca Barela about 50, month and year of birth not given,
born in New Mexico, parents born in New Mexico. She had
a total of 11 children with 4 still living.
1880 Census , Chama, Costillo, Colorado
Jose E Derera head, 35, born about 1850 Colorado
Trinidad , wife, 25, born about 1855 Colorado
Juan A, 4,born about 1874
Francisca 2,born about 1879
George5/12born in Dec.
This may be a lead since there is George in their
family as in yours. Also, you have to check spellings
like DeHerrera, Derrera, Errera, Derera.
I haven't been able to find a birth record for
Antonia with mother Lucia Barela. It's hard to tell
if Barela was her maiden name or married name.
I'm sending the link to the FamilySearch pilot program
that has some records on-line just so that you can see what's availble, especially from New Mexico.
Link:
You can also check out the Family History Library which is part of the Mormon Church of LDS. They have copied many church records from New Mexico. For a small fee you can rent the film and view it. Start with any church records that they may have from the area of Burro Canyon, Las Animas, Colorado.
I'll keep looking, Gloria
