You were correct in assuming that Guzman was Spaniard. My deceased husband's father's
family orignated from Spain. His mother was ethnic Mexican Indian. My father in law's
skin tone was white as snow and he had black hair and eyes. Very wiry body type.
Small in stature. Very refined features.

However as you said in your last message I indeed am on the trail of the Owen surname.
Getting pretty disgusted also, about time to put it aside and search out other things
for a while. This mystery is getting older by the day with no results.
Thank you so much Allan for your suggestions, I am sure you are correct concerning the
search being pretty much as what you stated. I appreciate it very much.
with regards,
geri
