I have learned that my great grandmother's name wasFrancisca Ruibal (spelling as per her marriage record). Her first marriage was to Jose Ignacio Abeyta on June 11, 1904 in Las Animas County. They were divorced around 1912 or 1913, I believe. She remarried to an Arguello and in her 70's married again to a Weil. She was probably born Maria Francisca, but was also known as Francisquita and Frances. I believe Jose Ignacio remarried to Teresita Duran about 1913 or 1914. My grandfather Carlos (also known as Juan Carlos, Charley, and John) had an older sister, Rumalda and a younger sister, Roberta. I have been told there was another child who died very young, I don't know the child's name.
According to family lore, my great-grandma Francisca was a descendant of Juan Velasquez de Cabanillas (Onate Expedition). At any rate, I do not know Francis' parent's names. Any info on her and/or her parents would be great.
