With the help of Armando, I have identified my first connection back to Spain.

With the help of Armando, I have identified my first connection back to Spain.
About 1759, Pedro de Choperena of Aranaz, Navarra, Spain married to Maria Bauptista de Yndart. Upon reaching Mexico, she gave birth to Juaquin Choperena born 1771 in Totatiche, Jalisco. Juaquin married Victoriana Martinez on 16 Sep 1801.

I have posted a chart in my file folder:

There are numerous family names that be of interest to the Forum, including Larrea, Caballero, Martinez, Avila, Holguin, del Real, Loretto, Ortega, Valdes, Escobedo, Pinedo, Ramos,and Viramontes.

Hopefully, someone will find a connection to my line.
Saludos,
