Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Part of good genealogy is that we "start" with what we hear, and find records to verify it.
Over at rootsweb's family files, there are about 100+ entries, which MAY or may not be related to you. Many of them have no info on origin, while a few show the person being from Mexico.
To BE sure, you need to trace the individual person, not the surname. Just for example, it could well be from a German person who immigrated to Mexico.
On the main page for rootsweb, they carry a guide to beginning research. That's the only reliable way to find out.
