Introduction: Surnames Talamantes, Miramontes, Caldera, Guzman

Hi everyone! My name is Marina Talamantes (Riley) I just joined and I am very excited to be here. I just started researching my lineage, I only have three generations so far, but hopefully I'll make it to my local family history center here in Charlotte NC soon. My family is from Valparaiso Zacatecas (this is where my parents married (Familia Talamantes-Miramontes)) and their families were from La Junta de los Rios Jalisco (Familia Miramontes-Guzman ) and Minillas Jalisco (Familia Caldera-Simental) and from somewhere in Jalisco Familia Talamantes-Hernandez.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like my living relatives know much about their ancestry, sad to say, but I hope to change that.
Any tips for beginners are welcome!

Marina
