Daniel Medez Camino:

I have a Josefa Macias-Valadez who was married to Juan de dios Camarena in Jalisco, Mexico. She was the legitimate daughter of Antonio Macias and Francisca Santoyo. I was wondering if this line of Macias Valadez has any relation to Francisco Macias Valadez?

Thanks,

Daniel Briones
