In addition I'd like to comment on the photo of the White River Mission. My grandfather Genaro Acosta was the general contractor who built the mission church, which was the first Caholic Church on the Apache Reservation at White River. The St. Francis Church was blessed and dedicated June 1st, 1924. The photograph was taken in 1922. Standing before the church are my mother Bertha and her sister Pilar (Pearly), who is the taller girl. The three women standing center are Genaro Acosta's sisters Irene A. Gallegos, Maria A. Saavedra, and Lupe A. Duran (not sure which is who). I do not know the identity of the woman far left, but the boy standing beside her was named Alfonso.<br />With respect to the handwritten note: all of the info concerning the Acosta family is correct with one small exception. Faustina Gutierrez was indeed Genaro's wife, however her maiden name was not Baca, it was Apodaca, which was her mother's line (Librada Apodaca) and her father was named J.Clemente Gutierrez.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347756624764588875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081932369499513909.post-70575370652392985312013-09-02T07:49:44.139-07:002013-09-02T07:49:44.139-07:00Oh and if either of you are interested in a copy -...Oh and if either of you are interested in a copy - I also found Genaro & Faustina's wedding announcement in the St. Johns Herald Newspaper. :) let me know.Dolly P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18442086241508114550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081932369499513909.post-50316745835136658022013-09-02T07:47:47.317-07:002013-09-02T07:47:47.317-07:00Hello Richard & Vince!

I was glad to find so much out about them and hope to learn more. My name is Dolly, by the way, a volunteer at the Apache County Historical Society Museum. :) The username on here is actually our "cattle brand" from when I was growing up on a ranch in this area! It is a J with an A laying on its side - "J" lazy "A" - i just turned it into a username. :)Dolly P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18442086241508114550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081932369499513909.post-89220489045493911932013-08-26T22:03:21.190-07:002013-08-26T22:03:21.190-07:00Wow, this is so very interesting and important to ...Wow, this is so very interesting and important to me and my family! Thank you so much for sharing this with my parents, Benny & Nora Acosta. My name is Vince Acosta Sr. Lazaro was my Great, Great Grandfather; Genaro was my Great Grandfather; Clement Acosta was my Grandfather, whom I loved and knew very well. (Loved by many, as we have a large family.) I can now share this with my 3 children so they may learn more about their ancestry. My 16 year old Son Vincent Jr. will be very interested to read this! My family and I were raised in St. Johns. My Dad, Benny Acosta designed and built the home we grew-up in. (As his Father Clement Acosta did for him and his brothers & sisters in Holbrook, Az.) The home I currently reside in now, was designed and built by my Wife and I. It's so neat to see Carpentry & Contracting passed down from generation to generation...<br /><br />Thank you so much for researching and sharing this Jay and Richard!! (I believe your name is Jay right?)<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Vince Acosta Sr.Vince Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450688423686550380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081932369499513909.post-83828222652107278402013-08-24T15:54:55.110-07:002013-08-24T15:54:55.110-07:00hello, i had to establish a gmail acct just to res...hello, i had to establish a gmail acct just to respond to your research re genaro and lazaro acosta, my grand father and great grandfather respectively. should you have questions about either contact me and i can tell you what i know. what is your name and how may you be contacted?<br />please contact me at this address:<br />richard_armijo@yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347756624764588875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081932369499513909.post-65342796434885056302013-08-19T23:13:14.788-07:002013-08-19T23:13:14.788-07:00Duh...maybe I should READ!

Going by dates, it couldn't be his son Lazaro (in 1910, Genaro would be only 32 himself, so he couldn't have a son who was married).Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00230355794160198963noreply@blogger.com
