John, check out the below website.  It has some of the
same names you've mentioned in some of your emails. 
The website was sit up by my wife's (Rebeca Gutierrez
Gonzalez) relatives from Los Altos, Jalisco.  I hope
it helps you find some more names and relatives.  Who
knows? we may be related.

Good luck.
