I have researched my family all the way back to abt. 1734 San Lucas, Chihuahua Mexico where I have found some my ancestors being Concho Indians,, I have never heard of Concho Indians, I know that Concho means Shell in Spanish and they were possibly named this after the Concho River and the mussel shells the Concho river was named after by the Spanish and since I am informed Concho is a Spanish word I am wondering what their true name was. I have read that they assimilated into the Jumano Tribes,, I have also read there was a tribe called Concho Apaches, if anyone has any information please feel free to email me. My ancestors given family names with the Concho connection is Rodriquez, Montes, Chavarria, possibly Jurado,

Montes

I noticed the name Concho Indians and realized that they are from the same area of what I beleive are my decendents the Jumano Indians, who before the Spanish came were all called the Plains Indians(with lots of diferent tribes each having a name). I also am interrested in this area and as I search I will watch out for the last names that you mentioned. The family names that I'm searching for are, Bustamante and Rede from Presidio, TX. Just recently I have added the Valdez name. Felicita Valdez is my great-great- grandmother. There may or may not be a connection, just fishing. Good Luck
