There is a group of Legazpi in Nochistlan, Zacatecas born in the mid-
1840s.  Unfortunately (and for good reason) familysearch.org does not 
list records after 1900 so your grandparents may not be back far 
enough to start.  If you could find the name of your great-
grandparents that would be the best place to start.

Hello, my name is Melania, I was  born in Ensenada BC Mx, but have 
lived in the states since I was 9.  I am researching my grandparents, 
my grandma was Paula Zerega and Granfather was Francisco Legaspy. They 
are both from the San Telmo area Baja Calif, but I have learned 
through some research that the names have come from the zacatecas, 
jalisco area/  specially Legazpi (legaspy or legaspi)
  My grandmas parents were francisco Zerega and Francisca Arze 
(arce).  my grandfathers were francisco Legazpi and Amada Cota.

I heard something similar about the Viramontes families in Tlaltenango, 
Zacatecas use to be Miramontes.  Except something to the effect that 
they changed name cause of misunderstanding due to repeated first 
names...

Are you searching Miramontes Family?

Tammy,

Are you still researching your Miramontes family?  How is your progress 
coming along?  Do you know if your father-in-law had a sister named 
Maria Refugio?

Zacatecas.  His parents names were Aurelino & Victoria (magallanes) 
Miramontes.  I believe the ranch they are from is named Los Reales.

Sorry, I cannot help you.

Also, thank you for the invitation to visit your
uncle, but my wife is having an operation that same
week and I'll be intending her.
