Just read your response, and I agree with you that just about every Alderete seems to want to be a brother/sister. Not that they want to be my siblings, but they seem to be proud of the name; and then there are those who claim this pride, because they must feel that they have been Europeanized. I've heard plenty of stories about the aggressive, Spanish soldiers and the violated, Mexican maidens ... lots of Spanish surnamed children then.
Interestingly (via a very unscientific, telephone book search);I've travelled quite a bit in Spain, France and Mexico, and found more Alderetes in Mexico than in France and Spain combined.
