Betcha I'm related to you, BUT it may take years to find out.as none of
my surnames match your surnames from the same location. Actually I
suspect that El Salitral and El Salitrillo were one in the same place
but that is just a hunch. Santa Maria, Espinoza, Nava, Miranda, Ortiz,
Lugo, Torre, Garcia,
If they are not the same place then somewhere close to each other
because some children were born in one Rancho and some in the other.

Hello, all,
I have recently discovered more generations on my father's
side. They include the surnames Tinajero, Olague, Valdez, Feliz,
Flores, Suriano, Salasar, Munos, Lucio, Vasquez, Garcia, Quijas,
Banegas, Escobedo and possibly Mata. Most of these were baptized or
married in Tepetongo, Zacatecas, but they lived in a community called
El Salitrillo in the early 1700's to the late 1800's. Does anyone else
have any connection to these families from this location? Both the men
and the women used various surnames, but my research has proved that
they are one and the same. For example, my great-grandmother Rafaela
used the surnames Tinajero, Flores, Felix, or Suriano. Her father
Hilario (Ylario) used the surnames Tinajero or Felix. Her mother
Teodocia Flores also would sometimes use the surnames Felix or Suriano.
This made finding their children a challenge, to put it mildly. I
finally found my grandfather as Francisco Olague Felix, when I expected
to find him as Francisco Olague Tinajero. Many of the other branches
did the same thing, and the same surnames run in my father's paternal
and maternal sides. It seems no one ever moved and everyone would
marry into the same clans over and over again. Kind of reminds me of
the stories you hear of clans in the Appalachians.
I have not been able to find El Salitrillo on any map, but I did
find a list of several places with the same name in the states of
Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. The list gives
the Latitude and Longitude for each. The El Salitrillo in Zacatecas is
at Latitude 24.5333333 and Longitude -101.1166667. Does anyone know of
a map showing this El Salitrillo?
Thanks,
