Danny & Rubén -

Thank you both so very much for the information. I am amazed at how well documented the genealogy is for this region and I now have an impressive list of ancestors to research! Leandro came to the United States in early 1900's and I would love to learn more about why and if others from Aguascalientes also emigrated. I appreciate your assistance!
