Yes, Joseph,
We might be related, and/or your ancestors were close neighbors and friends
of my ancestors. I see your surnames among the marriages of the collateral
lines (marriages of my ancestors' children that I do not descend from) in my
tree, or they were padrinos for each others' children. The place name was
sometimes abbreviated to el Salto., I think (in the baptismal records I reviewed
recently at the local FHC).
Oh, by the way, I finally found how to download your podcasts. I read
an article in the newspaper about podcasts, and it suggested downloading some
programs called "receivers". I found a small one called ppr.exe at
primetimepodcast.com. After I installed the receiver, I selected two of
your podcasts and the computer brought up the Download Manager, which I did not
know about, and I could actually see the podcast downloading after selecting it
from your NuestrosRanchos.net and that other new site you have. It takes
approximately 45 minutes to download each podcast and my computer saves
them with a little icon for each one. I hope I can find them again.
Everything hides from me on this new computer. It is so different from my
old Windows 98 with MSN Explorer 7. This one has Windows XP and MSN
Explorer 9, but I still have a slow dial-up connection. I have downloaded
the Ryskamp and the Lozano podcasts so far. Now I feel I am really in the
loop. Thanks for all you do. You have added a new dimension to this
hobby for Hispanics that did not exist before. I nominate you for
something----Webmaster of the Year, what say you all?

Subject: Re: [ranchos] El Salitrillo,
Zacatecas
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,
