Hello Nelina,
It really is like looking for a needle in a haystack isn't it?
I've come across one dead end road after another and still no luck.
Jacobo is not a common name so I feel we all must be related.
All I know is what I posted. My great gandfather's last name was Jacob (Spanish translation, Jacobo) from Russia and he settled in Zacatecas, where my grandfather was born, and I don't even know if my grandfather had brothers and sisters.
As I heard from one of the messages I recieved from another Jacobo, in their family they spoke of a tall white male ancestor, which would account for two of my uncles being over six feet tall, in a family of relatively short people. I'm 5" 8" myself, with with no tall people on my dad's side either...I never knew why.
I'll keep a tenacious attitude on this search, and if I come up with anything, I'll post it for you... If you want to email me, please feel free.
Good luck and Happy new year!
Georgia
