Hello, my name is Naomi Maldonado, and I was intrigued by your information about the Tamez name.My Great-grandparents were Salazar-Tamez.I have heard stories that the Tamez's were merchants in Texas and Mexico (Nuevo Leon area) and my father was told that the merchants were usually Arab (Lebanese).Iam curious because I have friends that mistook me for Lebanese when they met me.They are Lebanese, and when I visit their town, the locals always speak to me first in arabic, until my friends explain that I am Mexican-American and not Lebanese.I am also curious about the Salazar name possibly being Lebanese as well.If you have any thoughts/ information onthese names, I would greatly appreciate the info.Thank you for your time.
