At least they changed the design so you can tell who really is a Colorado "pioneer" and who isn't.
I could not agree more.
I had to prove my family had been in Colorado for
at least 100 years to qualify. I used birth certificates back to 1883 when my Great Grandfather was born on Grape street in Denver.
other ancestors had settled in Eastern CO in the 1860's.

Agree...my grandfather was born in 1901 in Fountain...was in the process of getting all of the documentation. Darnit!
