    Although I am junior I don't know how I came to be named. My grand parents on my fathers side were Seventh Day Adventist Missionaries in Haiti, where my father was born. My grand mother's maiden name was Trujillo.

    The name Alonzo is of Spanish Origin I think, I know quite a few Alonzo'sb ut with an *s* instead of a *Z* .... I don't suppose either of you guys are related to Fernando Alonso the Spanish Formula one racing driver.. :D

    Isn't Trujillo of Spanish origin, too? I think it's fascinating , @Lon Tanner , that your grandparents were Seventh Day Adventist Missionaries. How does that fit with the fact that you aren't a believer?

    Grand Parents died before I was five years old and dad never stayed in the church and became a non believer up to hiscdeath at age 93. His two older brothers stayed with theAdventists all their life. Mom was a Baptist and believer.
