Still searching for the parents, other siblings & relatives of Dolores Valencia (and her sister Francisca); found that she was the 2nd wife of Juan Crisostomo Vigil. He was previously married to her sister Francisca:
They were the parents of at least one child, Juanita (Bap. certif. reads Maria Joana Vigil, child of Juan Vigil and Francisca Valencia, born in Santo Niño, NM 19 April 1875; bapt. 20 April 1875 Holy Cross Church, Santa Cruz, NM pad.s Manuel Roybal and Dolores Roybal)
Francisca died when her daughter was an infant and Juan married her sister Dolores Valencia. Dolores raised Juanita(Joana) along with their own children, some of who were Daniel, Juan Antonio and Eugenio (Gene) Vigil.
Eugenio's bapt. cert. reads Eugenio Vigil, child of Juan Vigil and Dolores Valencia, born in Santo Niño, NM 1 Sept. 1903; bapt.6 Sept. 1903 Holy Cross Church, Santa Cruz, NM; pad.s Thomas Maestas and Magdalena Herrera.
Curently, this is all I have been able to obtain. The baptism certificates were made known to me by Uncle Gene's son, finally.
