Hello, I am Chihene Nde from my fathers ,fathers side and my fathers mother was Apache from both parents as well. I am having a little bit of trouble here and feel like I am going in circles. My grandmother father and family owned Valenzuela Ranch 85 acres in Tyrone New Mexico. He was tricked into selling it for just 85.00 and a truck it was used for the main water source where the ranch was after it was basically taken. His name was Felix Elias Valenzuela he was married to Bernarda Maldonado Madrid her mother died 3 days after giving birth to her She was born to Ramona Baldanado Madrid (her birth records were destroyed in church fire ) and Celeso Lopez . Also before Bernarda died she gave a portion of land to the pastor/priest having good faith he would keep it safe for her children and the church considered it a donation . Felix Elias was born to Felix Valenzuela and Luz Elias. Here is the confusing part for me not only was he born to a Felix Valenzuela but he was also a cousin to a Felix "scout" Valenzuela. my great grand father was sometimes called slim or huerro he was 6'4" any help would be greatly appreciated also my grandmother said her dad was being taught at a young age medicine by his father. My grandmother is approaching 80 and her mother lived past 100 died in pico Rivera , ca
