The following
index was compiled from the official record of the Poor Records granted by the
Huerfano County Commissioners from 1916 to 1923. 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,
email
(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.
