To all:

I would like to give you an example of the interesting nature of surnames. The email reply 
below is from an Austrian, Christine Serro, who is applying to the Tandem Program at the 
University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, where my daughter, Megan (Maya) Serros, 
works and is in charge of new job applicants.

Christine Serro below responds to an inquiry about her surname since it obviously is so 
close to my daughter's surname of Serros.

Surnames are crazy and you should never assume anything.

Hi Maya,

Thank you for your mail! You are not bothering me at all and I definitely don't
think that you are crazy.  I find it also very interesting that your name is so
close to mine! Unfortunately, my great-grandfather grew up in an orphanage in
Venedig, Italy because his mother (or father..) has given him away when he was
a baby. In the

Arturo,

I am not sure, since I don't know Maximo's parents.

Last time I looked at your site you had two Godina families one that 
was a Jara-Godina family that I was distantly related to through the 
Jara side.  The other was a Godina-Cardenas family that I am related 
to through the Cardenas side.  I wasn't related to either one through 
the Godina side.  Well at least not as far as I know with the 
information that I have on my family.

Thanks,
Angie Godina

John,

I realize you want to research your Cerro line first, but I was 
wondering who are Victoriana Godina's parents and grandparents?  I am 
researching the Godina's from the Colotlan, Jalisco area.
