Re: El Salitrillo, Zacatecas

["v.h.villarreal" <raices_regias@...>]

Hello Emilie,

Have you read the description of Salitrillo in the "Diccionario
Geográfico, Histórico y Biográfico de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos."

http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm

Salitrillo. 5 ranchos del Estado de Zacatecas: Uno del partido de
Fresnillo, municipalidad de Valparaíso. - Dos del partido de Jerez,
municipalidad de Tepetongo. - Otro del partido de Nochixtlán,
municipalidad de Toyahua. - Otro del partido de Villanueva,
municipalidad de Jalpa.

The coordinates that you found are completely in a different area of
Zacatecas, right in the border of Coahuila.

Victor.

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.

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?
