Carmen Figueroa Y Diaz was born around 1934 in Lomas, Naranjito, Puerto Rico to Alejandra Diaz and Juan Figueroa Y Hernandez, who worked as a field hand on a tobacco planation. [1]
Around 1931 Juan Figueroa had met Alejandra Diaz and in 1935 they were living in Lomas, Naranjito, Puerto Rico with their two children, Rosa and Carmen.[2] Her sister Angela died within hours of her birth on 12 December, 1935.[3] Her sister Zoraida was the informant on Juan's death certificate so must have been born sometime after 1935, since she doesn't appear on the 1935 Puerto Rican Social Population Schedules and lived at least until 1974.[4][5]
