I don’t know my father’s side at all, just my father’s and his mother’s first names, no last name. When my father had kids, he claime he knew his father’s last nam but I don’t think he did, he just gave us a last name. As far as I can tell, everyone is from Rosario or Santa Cruz. I’m lucky that way as I can trace a lot of my ancestors. Another funny thing about my family is that there are huge age differences between kids and some are born out of wedlock so I can’t base a search on when the parents get married. There is 26 years between my oldest brother and I. There is 18 years between my mother and youngest sibling, this repeats with other ancestors.
