Moises, do you know if this Jose Maria Peña is the son of Francisco Xavier de Peña? I have Joseph Maria Peña Alaniz, my 4th great uncle, married to Maria Antonia Peña Gonzalez (M: 27 Jun 1798 in Mier). I do not know if Maria Elena is their daughter though so if they are the same couple and you have the source for the daughter could you let me know.
thanks
