I am searching for descendants of my grandfather, with names as listed above. On 1910 census he was listed as having been born in New Mexico in about 1900. He was a foster child with an Italian family in 1910 in Colorado. I corresponded with him in the 70s and he told me that his mother was full-blooded native American. Supposedly he was born under covered wagon because his mother was banished from her tribe for having a child with a white man. He served some time in a juvenile detention center when he was a teen. He died in 1979 in Gypsum, CO in a logging accident. He married my grandmother, Thelma Pyle, with who he had 3 daughters, Evelyn (my mom), Louella, and Gladys. He left my grandmother before Gladys was born in about 1933. He married another woman in that year, Ellen Payne, and they lived in CO.

I would like to correspond with his children from that marriage to help document his native American heritage. My email is crysrichkev@earthlink.net
