Classification: Query
Surnames: Cota, Guiterrez
My grandfather name was Jesus Cota, who came from Alamos, Mexico. His parents were form Spain and well off. My grandfather was picked from amongst his brothers and sisters to be a priest. He elected to give up his quest for the priesthood when he met my grtandmother, who was Yaqui Indian. Her name was Coltilde Guiterrez, and they married. They moved to Yuma, Arizona. He passed away approximately 1939. The problem is we did not get to know his family because they disowned him when he took up with my grandmother. My grandmother with her four children ( Coltilde, Maria, Raymond, and my dad Andrew), came to California. They were migrant farm workers till they settled in Turlock, Calif. I am the first male Cota from my grandfather. I would like some help or if you any information?
