Hello Everyone,
In May I will be going to Peru on vacation and I was interested in locating a family with the last name of Ponce de Leon. Years ago, I had a good friend with that last name and he and his family were from Cuzco. This friend of mine died at an early age of a massive heart attack. I never thought I would someday be visiting his home town. But now that I am, I think I would like to find his family and give them some pictures of their son. Does anyone know if Ponce de Leon is a very common name? Would it be hard to find this family? I know it is a long shot but I would appreciate any advice on the matter. Thanks in advance.

well Ponce de Leon is a very illustrious name in Spanish history going back to the fact he discovered Florida USA and eventually died in Havana Cuba. I have not met too many Spanish folks with that name so it should be easy to pinpoint your friend if he is from Cuzco.

Thank you Pedmar I see many listings for Ponce De Leon for Lima but I am having trouble seeing any for Cuzco. I will continue to work on this but I think you have me pointed in the right direction. Yes Antonio's name always seemed very illustrious to us His name fit his character and I would be very honored to meet a family member. I appreciate your response.
