Last Names of Nuevo Leon
It had been several years that had been searching for the names parents of my great grandmother Elena Tanguma. All I new was that according to my mother she only had a brother named Toribio Tanguma. A few weeks ago I found Toribio’s death record which provided me with an estimated birth year and my search began. I found the following document indicating that his parents ware Juan Tanguma and Leandra Ramirez. It also indicates that Juan’s parents are Hipolito Tanguma and Francisca Pena. Also that Leandra’s parents were Guadalupe Ramirez and Antonia Martinez.
