  	https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89DX-88KR?cc=2341907 Rio Arriba, Abiquiu > Santo Tomás Apóstol Catholic Church Marriage register, 1777-1826 image 24 of 131  (or 513 of 620) - Antonio Jose Trujillo noted in marriage record to be the son of Mariano Trujillo and Rosalia Apodaca - Francisca Jaramillo noted in marrage record to be the daughter of Antonio Jaramillo (deceased) and Maria Antonia Garcia - It was noted on this marriage record that Antonio Jose Trujillo and his parents were listed as "Genizaros".  This is a term used in old spanish rule, where Indians were either captured or sold, and then converted to Catholicism. In most case the were forced to work as servants, farm, or tend livestock. - Francisca Jaramillo and family were listed as Espanols, meaning they were of Spanish heritage. - In short if you descend from this family, you would be considered a mestizo or mestiza, meaning a mixture of Spanish and Indian blood. Interestingly Antonio's parents were married in 1760, and the marriage record of father Mariano Trujillo and Rosalia Apodaca did not note these two were of Indian orgins. I am not convinced yet, in reading the 1781 of record of his son, Antonio, that his father Mariano was a Genizaro, but likely his mother was.  Most Indian captives that were converted to the term Genizaro were females.  Will study further, but for now, using the 1781 record as evidence, this family was of Indian and Spanish ancestry.
