This has been a wonderful learning experience for me. We also have a
Guadalupe and she’s known as Lupe. A paternal grandmother was named
Trinidad, and I kept finding records for Trinidad, but they were all males..
Our grandchildren call Tino “little grandpa,” because he drives a much
smaller truck than their paternal grandpa, who is known as “big grandpa.”
Another ancestor Maria Hilaria, upon coming to the US was known as Andrea,
a shortened version of her last name of Andrada/e.
