Update on prior post: Does anyone know my grandmother (Domitila Contreras Ayala) from Michoacan? She came to the United States with her husband who went to work for the railroad. She baptized one or two kids in the church in Tlazazalca. My dad told me a story about his parents, Domitila and Refugio del Macedonio Allala...

Refugio and his family would walk or go by horse or mule to church on Sunday. It would take all day to walk there, have a noon meal, and return. At the time in 1900 – 1910, there was no church in San Antonio Ocampo. It was located in Tzazalca or Tangancicuaro.

Also Domitila had several siblings in the Michoacan area...Carmen, Barbarita, Guadalupe, Vicente, and Rafael. May be others who died as babies. Any information from anyone on these names?
