Costilla County Poor Record
1890 - 1932

By Connie Ryan, Colorado State Archives Volunteer

The following index was compiled from the official record of the Poor Records granted by the Costilla County Commissioners from 1890 to 1932. The information contained in the record generally shows the name of the person, date of registration, nativity, sex, age, time of support, cause of poverty and total amount of aid. It may also show the place of birth, date of arrival into the county and from where, remarks, and time of immigration to the U.S..

An earnest effort was made to transcribe each name correctly. However, some of the handwritten entries were hard to read, making it difficult to ensure that the spelling of the name is accurate. Please check similar or closely spelled names, this may help you in your search.

If you find a name on this list, and you would like a copy of that person's record, please contact us. We will respond to mail, e-mail (please include your post office address in the e-mail), and phone requests. We do have search, handling and copy fees. Please contact us in order to find out the charges for your request.
