I have searched for a Manuel Gabaldon for the 1920 census and cant find him. If you can find him on the 1910 census you could recheck his age. But of interest is an entry from Socorro Co, La Mesa Twp, pg 4a
The fist name has been written over in bold ink, as if an after thought. Not sure what name is written underneath.
Donacino Gavaldon55
Telesfora48

Nepuencina(sp)19

Requal48@ 28 she must be a 2nd wife

Ofcourse there is no way to be sure that these are your Manuel Gabaldon or even the same men.But the 1930 Manuel Gabaldon has living next door to him an Anastacia Chavez 39 wd & married at 23.She would have been married long enough to be mother to the two Chavez nephews on the 1920 census. And what about the children listed for this 1930 Manuel, where were they in 1920??Or could they be the children of his 2nd wife & just not listed as 'step'? Maybe only the 5 year old is his.But the only reason I posted these for you is that this Manuel Gabaldon is 65 on 1930 census soooooo, bn 1865.I am betting the age on the 1900 census is off for your Manuel Gabaldon, just as it was for Paubla Sanchez. By the 1920 census Paubla Sanchez is 44 which would make her 24 on 1900 census.And the web continues!Still no Figenia for the 1930 census.I think you need the help of someone alot smarter than me.Cant think of anything else to try.This is a great Genealogy Mystery, when you get it solved I hope you will post your findings on the Gallegos board.
Good luck
