Posted on: Costilla County, Co Query Forum Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Co/Costilla?read=42 Surname: MEYER, VIGIL, GALLEGOS, TORRES, SANDOVAL, VARGAS ------------------------- Could you please give the names, publishers, etc. of the 3 VIGIL books you mentioned in your response? Are they available at any libraries? Or are they available for sale? Here is the information I have on Maria Manulita VIGIL. Born in Sante Fe, NM on 27 Feb 1852 or 1854 Married William H. MEYER in Feb 1868, place unknown. Her parents were Jaun Miguel VIGIL and Maria Rosita VARGAS. Jaun Miguel VIGIL born about 1825 in Ranchos de Taos Co., NM Maria VARGAS born about 1829 in Ranchos de Taos Co.,NM. Jaun Cristoval VIGIL and Maria Antonia TORRES parents of Jaun Miguel. Antonio TORRES and Nicolasa SANDOVAL parents of Maria TORRES. All were from Taos area of New Mexico. This information is research done by someone else and I have no documentation. I do have the death certificate for Maria VIGIL MEYER (died 25 Feb 1937 in Santa Barbara, California and buried in Old Mission Cemetery in Santa Barbara, California) MEYER came from Hannover, Germany. His parents were F.W. MEYER and Christina LINDNER. William's brother is C.F. MEYER who also lived in Costilla/Alamosa, CO and was the city clerk there. I have other biographical information on William MEYER but no further information on ancestry. Also have descendancy information for William and Maria (Mary)MEYER who were my g-g-grandparents. Does any of the VIGIL information match with your research? I am especially interested in documenting and either proving or disproving the information I have received from others. Thank you for your assistance.
