Hello Jeanne, Yes, I am related to many of these Escobar families in California. I will forward your email to Henry Escobar that is related to the ones you mention. I met he and his wife, Maria Nazare a few months ago here in Las Vegas where I have lived for many years. He is a third cousin of mine. I will write more to you privately.
