Hello All Rivera's
Give a look at www.rootsweb.com/~costil/history.htn
Costilla County, Colorado is one of Colorado's original counties, formed in 1861 any records will be found in Taos County, New Mexico. The county was named for the Costilla River. San Luis is the County Seat. Costilla is surrounded by Las Animas County on the east, Huerfano on the northeast, Alamosa on the northwest and Conejos on the west. The New Mexico Counties of Taos and Colfax border it on the south.
1765 - Juan Maria Rivera leads Spanish expedition into San Juan and Sangre de Cristo Mountains in search of gold and silver. I have often wondered if he started my tree in Colorado. I would also bet the New Mexico Rivera's are blood to the Colorado Rivera's. I was born in the oldest town in Colorado. The town of San Luis.
