Sounds so exciting.
Rosa Flores Fernandez is your mother a Salinas ? Are you from Alice, Texas ? If so then we’re cousins. I was born and raised in Alice, TX.
Is there perhaps a variation of the last name? Cervera? Servera, Zelvera, etc? I have an ancestor (I believe) who has been listed on different sites with the different spellings.
You are correct there are many different variations.
