Im not sure.I haven't researched .

Cool. It probably comes from your Argentine side. Alot of Gallegos settled in Argentina.

Spanish influence in Mexico is mostly Castillian, Basque and Andalusian in my opinion. A few Galician surnames here and there, Catalan surnames very rare. Am I correct?

Extremenos also sent many settlers. Hernando Cortes was Extremeno so was alot of the Conquistadors and the early settlers.

It might not be too long before you can replace "Mexico" with "California". I think that Mexicans are now the largest ethnic group in the Golden State.

Hay un apellido Garca?? Juan Garca jaja

PS: Honestamente me parece que esos apellidos son muy comunes en cualquier país con ascendencia española.

It was called "Alta California" at one time.
