days

Using a date calculator, the following birth dates are
projected for each of the children listed above.
- Maria born - 24 July 1883 – This year is in keeping with the age given on the birth record of her first child.
- Elena born – 13 Aug 1886 – This is in keeping with the information Patricia Morales Tijerino has provided
- Francisca born – 20 Aug 1888 – Francisca/Frances gives her age in the 1940 US Census as 52 which corresponds with the birth year of 1888.
- Bartolo born – 20 Aug 1890 – His birthday is given as 18 August 1890 on a 1927 passenger list, close enough.
- Manuel born – 15 Aug 1891 – Manuel lists his birth date as 15 August 1890 on his WWII registration card/but his birth date is listed as 15 August 1891 on his death certificate. Given Bartolo’s year of birth, the 1891 year seems to be more accurate.
- Mercedes born – 24 Dec 1896 – Mercedes’ Social Security Death record also lists her birth date as 24 December 1896.
