    3. Hello all- I've been helping a lovely person try to find her grandparents origins, pro bono, and we need help. Her father's family is from England. He was the only offspring or known family member to immigrate to North America in ~ 1920. She knows essentially nothing about his family, other than the immediate group (his parents and sisters). The areas in England we've uncovered so far are primarily South & West Yorkshire and Leicestershire. Her maternal family is from the Sonora region of Mexico, came across the boarder to Bisbee (Cochise Co) Arizona in the 1870's....the REAL wild, wild west era and place. They called themselves "Spanish" and "Argentinean", and from what I can find, I think this is true, at least in their recent history. (She did do a DNA test and her mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is B, consistent with a native American maternal line.) I've gone as far as I can with my limited subject matter experience in these 2 different areas. She would like to go as far back as "we" can go on her paternal line in England (yes, I know....), and confirm the story of Spain and Argentina origins on her maternal line. She knows that to go further, she will have to pay for help on her genealogy. Any ideas for gaining assistance? Please contact me directly if you have a personal interest or can provide a recommendation. Thank you! Mary E Hall Santa Barbara, CA mehall2@cox.net (805) 687-7403
