There is a town, a very old town in Spain named Leiva. My father was born in Guatemala City, in 1919 the son of Dr. Rudolfo Leiva and Carmen Adelaide Burr.Rudolfo's mother was "Mamma 'Tona' or Antonia Leiva de Leiva, I believe her mother was of the Recino family. My aunt Rachel is the (known) first born of Rudolfo Leiva, but not the daughter of Carmen, my gmother.Rachel married a Mr. Pinto and stayed in Guatemala until 1960.I will ask tia Rachel what she remembers of Mamma 'Tonias history. All the best, Yohanah
