I'll bet I have even less to go on. I am searching for CHRISTINA DURAN's birthplace. the 1920 census for Fresno, California only says that she came from Mexico in about 1911.
She married Flavio BARBA who deserted her and her daughter Maria Luisa BARBA. He was never heard from again, apparently he gambled a lot or something, but Christina lived to be very old and died in the Los Angeles area at Rio Hondo Hospital.
I have asked all our family wher they think the Duran's came from and I get mixed answers. ( Near Guadalajara, maybe Durango, either Jalisco or Zacatecas) this is such a big area to look for one person, does anyone have any ideas on where to start ? I think they may have come to california to work n the railroads, and they lived in both Needles, and Fresno and L.A. I think. Pamela
