Hi Karen,
I've been told all my life that the Maestas clan (centered in Mora, New Mexico) has roots in France. I know my grandfather (Matias Maestas, born in N.M. in 1895, died 1980) did serve in France during World War I.
My father (Carlos, born in N.M. in 1933, died 1997) always joked that Matias left a village named Maestas behind, "honoring" his exploits. I'm sure my father was just joking. That was right in line with his sense of humor. But, I always wonder whether I may have some cousins in France.
Anyway, sorry I couldn't be of anymore help.
Later, Larry Maestas, born in Barstow, California, 1961.
