Welcome Sally


 
Hi, Sally,
 
I am anxious to see your family trees for Olague.  I am currently researching the Olagues from Tepetongo.  My father Guadalupe Olague was born in Jerez in 1903, but his father and grandfather, etc for several generations on his paternal side were born in Tepetongo in a community called Salitrillo.  I cannot find a record for my father's birth.  My grandfather's name was Francisco Olague.  Francisco's father was Pedro Olague and his mother was Rafaela Tinajero.  There were Surianos on both sides.  The Tinajeros also used the surnames Flores, Felix or Suriano, which is why I have had trouble finding some of my direct ancestors.
 
My father came to this country in 1913 when he was 10 years old.  I was born in Colorado, but I was taken as a small child to California (San Jose) where I went to school then worked until 1996 when my husband and I retired and we moved up here to the Northwest across Puget Sound from Seattle.  My husband is a Garcia Hinojosa Cervantes Aguirre.  He was born in El Paso TX and his ancestors were from Jalisco (Encarnacion de Diaz mostly) and Aguascalientes.  I think his Hinojosa grandmother was from Ciudad Zacatecas.  His Garcia grandfather and Cervantes grandmother came to this country in 1895 from Jalisco.
