Re: [ranchos] Gonsalez, Garcia, Hernandez surnames

["Josephine Simons" <navlady@...>]

Dear Marge,
The only person I could check with is my mother and uncle.   My 
great-grandfather was Leon Gonsalez, who married Julia Hernandez at around 
that time, but I don't have an archive on this yet.  I plan to see my uncle 
who lives in Phoenix next month, he's 87 years old and he may know the name 
of his great, great grandfather who would have been born sometime around 
1835-1850 in or near Jerez.  I will get back to you as I get further into 
the research.  Josie S.
