Mark:
I respond to several people about various
surnames. If you need help in gathering
information I can give you some hints. To
get started I suggest you get your parents
and grandparents full names, where they were
born with dates and where and when they died.
This information will lead to to where there
may be help available from census records,
chruch records, or vital statistic records.
Also, if knowing names of your parents or
grandparents brothers and sisters will also
help. I have about 500 names of relatives
that are Arvizu's going back to the early
1800's. On my father's side I go back to the
early 1700's. It is lots of work, but fun
and rewarding.
Sincerely,
Joe Merino
