My uncle, from el Chepinque, Zacatecas is working on a family tree also, he said it's taking too long because there are so many of us! Email me so I can send you pictures of my most recent visit to La Monteza!

Saludos!

Hola,
Yo tambien estuve en Mexico estas vacaciones. Mi papa me llevo al lugar donde nacieron mis abuelos. Se llama Boquillas, Zacatecas. Esta cerca de El Chepinque, solo hay un cerro que los divide. Es un lugar muy bonito y de mucha historia.
Me da gusto que tu tio tambien este trabajando en el arbol genealogico. Le sugiero que se contacte con Chepito de La Monteza para que comparen datos y no haya confusion o equivocacion de fechas y nombres.

Saludos!

Hello all,
My name is Pedro A. Diaz de Leon, and I currently reside in Chicago. My parents moved from the town of San Ciro de Acosta in the state of San Luis Potosi to the U.S. in 1970. My father, grandfather, and a cousin are named Pedro Diaz de Leon, and my great grandfather was named Abran Diaz de Leon. From the postings on this site, I believe I am from the San Luis Potosi branch. The family tree looks great, but I had trouble reading it, so I could not locate the SLP branch on there.

I am going to be flying into Guadalajara this year from December 20, 2007 to January 3, 2008, and I was hoping someone here could help me in meeting Chepito in La Monteza. My mother is from Zacatecas, so I will be in the area. I could not find La Monteza on any maps online. Does it go by another name, or could someone help me in learning how to get there?

My father has lots of old family photos, all of which have been scanned. The oldest one is of my grandmother, whose maiden name was also Diaz de Leon, and it was taken in 1907 when she was 20. It is included below. I also have many other photos with my father in them, who was born in 1937. If anyone could help me locate La Monteza to meet Chepito, or provide a more detailed picture of the family tree, that would be great. Regards,

-Pedro A. Diaz de Leon

p.s. I can be reached via email at pantonio3@yahoo.com

Nice to meet you Pedro. Attached is the map of Zacatecas showing the location of Montesa. Chepito's house is at the entrance of the town, before the church square. Just ask for him, everybody knows him.

Saludos.
