In regards to Leyvas in Guanajuato, Mexico.
My father, Felipe Ureta Leyva briefly went there from
Santa Rosalia, Camargo, Chihuahua, Mexico after he was in Terreon working as a young person as a Spanish Guitar Player & Singer then moved back to Camargo, then left again after working on the Leyva Ranch that his Father, Francisco Leyva and his mother Maria "Mercedes" Ureta (Urueta) Leyva owned.They raised Horses, Cattle, Pecans, and Almonds on the ranch on the outskirts of Camargo closer to San Francisco De Conchos.My Father Felipe Leyva left being tired of working on the family Leyva Ranch as he was a Carpenter/Painter/Professional Musician.From his brief stay in Guanajuato, MX he went back to Camargo.
