Letters: Help needed about Manzanares family

I am looking for my relatives from Ignacio and the surrounding farm area. My great-great-grandfather was Francisco Esteban Martinez who farmed until the 1930s in the Ignacio area. He married Placida Ruybalid. They had a daughter, Maria Luisita Martinez, who was my great-grandmother. Luisita married Genevevo Manzanares in 1899. They lived in Ignacio until 1916, when they moved to El Vado, New Mexico. I found three graves at the Oxford Cemetery that are marked “Mrs. Manzanares” and beside her on each side a marker says “Baby Manzanares.” If anyone of the Manzanareses still living today can identify these graves, then my question will be answered. I sure would appreciate any help on this question.
