Yes i already know im from mexico and can trace my ancestors awhile back, i meant im strictly looking for the name meaning. you can always go to the Mormon Temple in Los Angeles because it has a geneology library next to the Temple and they can help you find what you need with resources they have If you are HISPANIC then some of your ANCESTORS could have came form Mexico, Puerto Rico, Portugal and/or Span. Some of these cense records could be your ANCESTORS!

You could build a family tree starting with yourself and work your way back.

I could not find Name meaning on http://www.ancestry.com/

But I did find these historical records, I hope they help!
