Yes, Victor I realize that the name Aranzazu is Basque, but since
this was the name of the adoptive father or Joseph Ramon, it is not
necessarily my real lineage. To further complicate that issue, his
adoptive grandfather was an illegitimate child and only took the name
Aranzazu, because apparently that is where he was born (Real de
Aranzazu in Mazapil, Zacatecas). His father's name was Juan de
Barreda.
The five full 12-marker matches that I get for my YDNA are:
Belarus Ashkenazi
Puerto Rico
Russia
United Kingdom
Unknown Origin Ashkenazi
