Hello, We may still make connections. I know that my Alvarados were from a hacienda somewhere close to Matehuala, SLP and in the early 1900s they traveled toward the US. Some settled in Bustamante and Villaldame NL and others continued to San Antonio Tx and ranches in Bexar County. I know that there are still unrelated Alvarados in NL. Keep checking, we may be surprised. Anita
