I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but I can tell you what I know about my family. My father's name is Servando Luquin. His family is from Michoacan Mexico. His parents grew up on a small ranch called El Tepetate and later moved to a nearby town named Santa Clara, where my father grew up. My father's dad was named Jesus Luquin and his mother is Celia Luquin Tinoco. His brothers and sisters: Efrain Luquin, Elpedio Luquin, Ventura Luquin and Tiodora Luquin. All of which reside in Northern CA. Do you happen to know what location your friends family was from in Michoacan?
