Discussion:
Recently, my uncles and I had a discussion about Juan Vaca. They said that he was not a true Baca, but rather that he was adopted. They said that he may have been a Luna. They also said that he was originally from Pena Blanca, NM. This record shows that he was indeed a legitimate son of Martin Baca and not adopted, also that he was born in Lemitar, NM.
They may have be mistaken as to which ancestor was adopted. This Baca family is indeed originally from Pena Blanca. I have not found a baptismal record for Juan's father Martin. Maybe Martin is the adopted child.

My great grandparents were Nepomuceno Castillo and Barbara Lopez the godparents of Juan Vaca. Isn't the internet amazing when it comes to genealogy?!
That is great! It would be great to find out what the relationship between the Castillos and Bacas are. Possibly no more than friendship, but it would still be interesting.
