My mind was still turning the Abata Maltos name over and over.
And, as these things happen, one night long after I had gone to bed I got a hunch. I climbed out of bed, fired up my laptop, opened Family Search and dove into the Mexican baptismal records. I was looking for the origins of our great grandfather Jose Maria Maltos born around 1840. Perhaps this Abata Maltos of Mazatlan was his mother.
And up it came.
A record of a son of Maria Abata Maltos,
Jose Miguel de Jesus Maltos, born 9 October 1828 and baptised in Nuestra Senora
Del Rosario, Rosario, Sinaloa, Mexico. I confirmed on a map Rosario is 70 km
west of Mazatlan.
I was really beginning to feel like Abata Maltos, the woman
of the obituary, might be one of our long losts.
