Enrique,
This is a long shot, but my father's familylived in Veta Grande, Zacatecas in the mid 1800s.Veta Grande is a little mining village just down the road from Fresnillo. Here are some names and dates:
My father- CANDELARIO CASTILLO HERNANDEZ, born 1892 in Veta Grande, died in Houston TX 1983. My mother's family, the RAMIREZ-MENDEZ-MEDELLIN-VALENZUELA, came from nearby Malpaso.
My grandfather- REFUGIO HERNANDEZ married ANDREA URESTI CASTILLO, both from Veta Grande.
My great-grandfather - SIMON HERNANDEZ married LEONARDA P. SAUCEDA.I don't know where they were born, but I suspect in Veta Grande or nearby.
Hope these names come up in your family data.Please reply if there's a connection so we can share more details.Ruben Ramirez Hernandez
