Hi Lorenzo,

I'm from the Cantu's who originated in Sabinas Hidalgo, N.L., Mexico and Monterrey. Grandfather was Jose Estanislao Cantu, son of Jose Dionicio Cantu. Dionicio was the son of Jose Antonio Cantu. Antonio's father was Joseph Matias Cantu who was married to Maria Guadalupe de la Garza. If you can find these books at your library, see Tejano Legacy by Armando C. Alonzo, and With All Arms by Carl Laurence Duaine for some information on the Cantu surname. Most Cantu's descend from the two brothers, Jusepe and Geronimo. A third brother, Lorenzo, was a priest.

Gloria
