Do you belong to one of the Rootsweb lists.. like New Mexico list or the Colorado list? The coordinators are beyond nice and quite well informed. They may be able to do a look up for you. I do not recognize those names you mention. My great great grandparents Francisco Estevans and Carmelita family was in the San Luis Valley of south central Colorado and primarily the area around Chamita NM-- Espanola, Santa Fe and into Taos NM. I also have Martinez (Martin, Martine, Martines), Cantu, Garcia, Mestas, Valdez that am working with. And many more. Please stay in touch. Somewhere, someday, sometime, perhaps the Salazar's shall meet..
