[Alberto Duarte <albertodua@...>]

Give it a try....
I some times use Yahoo Mexico for searching for names,
places, relatives, in Mexico, and I've had some
limited success.  Last week I found a doctor in
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, with the same last surnames as
mine, but reversed (Prieto Duarte).  She listed her
birthplace as Jerez, Zacatecas! Now all I have to do
is find here email address.

Good luck.

Alberto Duarte Prieto
Santa Maria, California
