Summary:

Bernardino de Sena (d. 1765) was born in Mexico City, Mexico and traveled to New Mexico at a young age. At age eighteen he moved to Santa Fe and married Tomasa Gonzalez. He became a well-respected blacksmith in the small community. They were the parents of two children. His son, Tómas Sena, was the father of seven sons, several of whom were also blacksmiths. Descendants live in New Mexico.
