In Reply to: 30th annual family reunion invitation by Manuel Esparza of 368

Hello, My name is Frederick A. Garcia II. According to my father, My real last name is Esparza. My father told me this after my grandfathers death over 10 years ago. My grandfather was a medic in the army. At that time his last name was Enrique Esparza. He was seeing a woman who never told him she was married, and one night while they were having drinks in a bar, her husband caught them together. A fight insued and my grandfather stabbed the man and killed him. After that my grandfather went a-wall and changed his last name from Esparza to Garcia. He lived in fear until the day he died that he would be caught, (he never was). My father told me that we were direct decendants of Gregorio Esparza, who is my great, great, great, great grandfather! I've often wondered about that part of my family whom I've never met.
