Don't feel left out.  My wife is from Los Altos and
never heard of my last name (Duarte) until she met me.

Hi,

My husband's surnames include Rocha, Ortiz,
Madrigal, Duarte.  I have
started doing some research, but have not taken the
serious time yet.   There are
many Madrigales in this area - most claiming not
related (but I think  people
just forget).  The Ortiz name, as you might be aware
is not as  common in
Mexico, at least not in these parts, however the
Rocha name is  connected to
families from Los Altos area.  The Duarte's were
supposedly  one of the first to
settle his small town - however when I went to the
local  church to get historical
data, it does not mention one single Duarte!

Thanks for your feedback - I was thinking that my
posting had not gone
through....

Esperanza - Chicago area
