Schwartz family: late 1800s to early 1900s

I am looking to find my German relatives, perhaps maybe all still in Germany. My great great grandfather (first name unknown) Mr. Schwartz brought his family to Guadalajara, Mexico, I believe for a business he had there. He became ill and passed away as well as his wife, shortly after. Their daughter, Teresa Schwartz was about only 3 years old at the time. She was placed in an foster care home and her last name was changed to Montero so Mexicans would not be uncomfortable with her name and adopt her. She was also the only child with blue eyes and blond hair. I have a wedding photo of her with dark hair, so her hair may have changed color once an adult. I know she had a brother who wrote her letters from Germany, for some reason he had stayed behind while the family moved to Mexico. The family after the point of my great grandmother (Teresa)'s marriage is already known. Almost all my mother's side of the family lives in Guadalajara now, and an aunt and cousin actually live in Germany. They have not been able to track the ancestry, either. If you have any information, please contact me!
