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
