Re: [ranchos] Z versus S

[Margarita Vallazza <TeaCozyGran@...>]

Erlinda, my great-grandfather's first wife was Ma. Eleuteria Tov/bar from Jerez.  Her brothers and sisters were born in both Tepetongo and Tla--don't remember how to spell this town.  Her parents were Mauricio Tovar and Ma. Petra Escobedo.  My great-grandfather had about 4 kids with her before she died and he married my great-grandmother, who was the age of his eldest daughter or a little older.

And yes, Davila is the same as de Avila.  I read something about it this past week but don't ask me where, 'cos I dunno.  The surname Correa is Portuguese, I believe.  Marge:)
