Hello all,
My name is Pedro A. Diaz de Leon, and I currently reside in Chicago. My parents moved from the town of San Ciro de Acosta in the state of San Luis Potosi to the U.S. in 1970. My father, grandfather, and a cousin are named Pedro Diaz de Leon, and my great grandfather was named Abran Diaz de Leon. From the postings on this site, I believe I am from the San Luis Potosi branch. The family tree looks great, but I had trouble reading it, so I could not locate the SLP branch on there.

I am going to be flying into Guadalajara this year from December 20, 2007 to January 3, 2008, and I was hoping someone here could help me in meeting Chepito in La Monteza. My mother is from Zacatecas, so I will be in the area. I could not find La Monteza on any maps online. Does it go by another name, or could someone help me in learning how to get there?

My father has lots of old family photos, all of which have been scanned. The oldest one is of my grandmother, whose maiden name was also Diaz de Leon, and it was taken in 1907 when she was 20. It is included below. I also have many other photos with my father in them, who was born in 1937. If anyone could help me locate La Monteza to meet Chepito, or provide a more detailed picture of the family tree, that would be great. Regards,

-Pedro A. Diaz de Leon
