- The Colorado Latino Age Wave
Project is a partnership between foundations, service
providers, community activists, and government systems.
CLAWP is investing in and advocating for innovative
programs and services that help Metro Denver's Latino
older adult population lead active, healthy, and
productive lives. In 2012, CLAWP selected three fellows
to work specifically on projects addressing veterans,
mobility, and policy issues. CSHG member Jose Aguayo, one
of these fellows, created a project that seeks to build
awareness of and appreciation for the service of older
Latino Veterans. He plans to publish a book and create a
video about WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War
veterans. He wants to learn about veterans' needs
regarding health, education, employment, housing and
other issues; and facilitate connections to appropriate
service providers. If you are a veteran over age 50, or
know someone who is, please contact Jose
Aguayo or call
303-433-1825.

expand the awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of

amazed at the wealth of genealogical and historical
research material found only in our CSHG
library.
- The following
information regarding the Martin Serrano lineage
comes from Henrietta Christmas. "This effort corrects
genealogical information back to Padre Martinez and
various other lines that continue to be
incorrect."
"Jose Antonio Esquibel
has been working on updating the information for the
Martin Serrano lineage over the last several
years. In light of the recent PBS series, more questions
have come as Origins of New Mexico Families does
not have the newly found information. I have also been
working with Jose in documenting the sources and trying
to make this more clear for people to identify the
'trunk' family and those that don't fit there. I think
he's done a really good job and he's willing to post this
and share it with everyone. Jose also wrote several
articles in Farolito and Pat Rau and I did work on
the Martin Serrano lineage for an HGRC article that would
be useful for those continuing their lineages in the
1700's. Again, this effort fixing material back to Padre
Martinez and various other lines that continue to be
posted incorrectly."
If you have your genealogy in a database software,
Henrietta and Jose suggest you cut and paste the sources
right into your genealogy databases so that you have the
accurate information. Click to view Jose Antonio
Esquibel's PDF document entitled, "Descendants
of Hernan (I) Martin Serrano in New Mexico: An
Authoritative Account of the First Three
Generations."
