Greetings and Salutations to all ,

My name is Welester G. Alvarado and I hail from Los Angeles , California now living in Monterrey , Mexico . I came here almost six yrs. ago to spend one year looking for family and to continue my family search .

My family names on my fathers' side consist of : Alvarado , Almaguer , Trevino , Garza , Saldivar , Tamez and a few others . At the moment Im looking for a connection between my gggrandmothers side .

Her name was Maria Quirina Saldivar Gomez , born in Villa de Santiago , N.L. Her parents were Juan Jose Saldivar from Saltillo , Coahuila .

From there I don't have anymore info . I found in some of John Inclans family names a Vicente Zaldivar from Zacatecas and further reading I found several Saldivars in Monterrey . So, Im trying to find the connecting point between the families in Zacatecas to the families in Monterrey or Villa de Santiago .

I did find some Saldivars in the book " INDEX TO THE MARRIAGE INVESTIGATIONS OF THE DIOCES OF GUADALAJARA . Agustin Saldivar , Joseph Antonio Saldivar , Joseph Gregorio Saldivar and a few others . All of which ended up in Monterrey .

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Welester

take some real digging to work from the Zacatecas side AND the NL side
trying to match them up. Deeper than I know how to investigate without
investing tons of time. But investigations like that sometimes do work
out if you have evidence that the Saldivar Name originated in Mexico
from Zacatecas (I don't know but just speculating). Maybe some research
on the Name. Here is some information you can try to access at this site:

*ZALDÍVAR, VICENTE DE* (ca. 1573-?). Vicente de Zaldívar, the younger,
Spanish explorer and soldier, was probably born in Zacatecas, a mining
town on the frontier of northern Mexico, about 1573. He and Juan de
Zaldívar^qv were sons of Vicente de Zaldívar, the elder, and Magdalena
