Welcome to Bayard's Den

Hi all! We are not to be outdone by our kids and grandkids, so here we are. I started the Blog page some time ago, but didn't get very far. I am now at home recuperating from hip replacement, so obviously, I have some time on my hands.

Hello!

The slideshow is of our genealogy trip in October to Trinidad Colorado. What a wonderful trip it was. I had found specifically where my Great-Great Grandfather's land was. He acquired the land in 1891 and 1894 under the land grants. It is now a part of the Spanish Peaks Wildlife Refuge. The land is beautiful! We met a Fish and Game Officer, Marty Bates, who knew where the remanents of an old house was. More than likely it could have been my Great-Great Grandparents. How exciting! I was able to locate my Great-Great Grandma's gravesite. Other pictures include a view of Trinidad. Please double click on the picture to go to Picassa where you can view a larger slideshow and then click on Slideshow in the upper right.
