Re: New member - Grano Family

Hello!

Welcome to the group.  I noticed that you descend from Eusebia 
Grano.  She was sister to my 5th Great-Grandmother Maria Josepha 
Grano Covarrubias.  Take a look at my files in the file section.

There is a book that contains the genealogy of the Grano family.  It 
is called the "El Sacerdoncio Ministerial, Singular Don a la 
Parroquia de Totatiche, Jalisco" by Esteban Valdes Salazar.  It is a 
small book less than 200 pages.  It starts with Joseph Cayetano Grano 
and his wife Efigenia de la Rosa Covarrubias.  Then it goes on to 
each of his seven daughters including their descendants.  Eusebia 
Grano was one of his daughters.  There is about 50 pages on her 
descendants.  There are a couple of other people in this group who 
are related to the Grano family.

There is a another book on the Jara family of Totatiche.  Descendants 
of Joseph Fernandez De Jara and Catarina Covarrubias, who was sister 
of Efigenia de la Rosa Covarrubias.  Do you descend from this family 
of Jara?

Well hope to hear more about your research.  I too have Miramontes, 
Campos, and Romero as well as other surnames.  They are all listed in 
my file section.
