Re: Help with Questions for Podcast Series

 
Marge:

My Ramos are neither from Chihuahua nor really Ramos.  The name goes 
back only to the late 1700s in Totatiche, Jalisco, where a priest who 
apparently refused to recognize the name of the family who had taken in 
an "expuesto" (abandoned child) by the name of Ramon, assigned the last 
name of Ramos instead to his children.

It seems that children born after the priest changed in the parish got 
the name Aranzazu.
