Thanks for responding. Yes. My father is the son of Jose Carlos (Charles) West who was the son of William Mark West. Names seems to shift around, so I'm assuming that William Mark is Mark. The info that I have is from a lovely old handwritten 3 page history of the Ortegas. I can send a transcription if you'd be interested. It says that Jose Vicente Ortega married the widow of Lazaro Pina (spelled that say) who was Maria Ignacia Pacheco before her marriage. I found some verification of this info yesterday from another source. I'm trying to get any information available on both Jose Vicente and Maria, but they seem to be ghosts right now. Thsnks again...
