Hello Arturo, Thank you so much for your offer to help. I know from what I've read, this a group that is ready and willing to share. Unfortunately, the only solid information I have is what Joseph was so kind to place on file w/the Nuestros Ranchos group.

If I'm not mistaken in Mexico the wife's surname does not change after marriage. She continues all the days of her life with her name of birth. Say she was born as Maria, Anastacia Gonzales, (hypothetical name) and she marries Juan Flores, she is then Maria Anastacia Gonzales de Flores. If she registers to vote or goes to the doctor or applies for any legal document she is still Maria Anastacia Gonzales the wife of Juan Flores. Her children would have both parent's surnames, first surname is the father's second would be the mother's, thus they would be Maria Flores, Gonzales or Juan Flores Gonzales.
