Hi,
I think I may have some information for you.
My ex-husband was Ernie (Ernesto Atencio),
his father was Leo Atencio, I know he was
married to Louise which was his first wife.
One of his children was Betty Atencio.He had one brother Felix, 4 sisters, Della,
Delphina, Dora and Jenny. Leo was born in San
Pablo, CO, Dec. 19, 1908 died Feb. 08, 1997.
My husband Jim and I are doing geonalogy on my side of the family because I was also an Atencio.I met Ernie in 1970 when he and
his family moved from Utah to Colorado. He happened to move in a town called Commerce
City, which is where my grandparents lived, Mike and Nellie Atencio.They owned a Mexican restaurant there.We found that
there was another Atencio family that moved into the area, which back then was not such
a common name.We ended up being very good
friends and that's how I ended up with Ernie.
We've been divorced for 9 years now but we
have a daughter Elicia 26 years old and my
son Tyson Leo Atencio 18yrs.
Hope this will help.Ernie Atencio's number is 801-393-7445 evening.I'm sure he's your
cousin.
Take Care
Michele Atencio-Bergen
