Interesting. My father Lucio met my mother who was from Vera Cruz, Mex. but my grandfather Dionicio met my grandmother (Lucinda DelaRosa) in the northern Mexico/Texas area. My dads brother worked in NY and Florida after WW2. He was Ruben Blanco. They(my grandparents) married about 1917. Although I'm sure it is there, I can't seem to find a connection w/Spain because of poor record keeping and/or lack of communication w/ distant relatives. My father came from a family of nine kids. 7 boys and 2 girls.
