Hello, Helyn,

I notice in your message that you wondered if the origin of the names Garay
and Olague were Arab?

Those names appear in a book I have called "apellidos vascos" (Basque Surnames).
My father's name was Guadalupe Olague (from Jerez, Zacatecas. He had told
me that his surname was Basque. There is also a town in Navarra in Spain
with that name. There are many people in Zacatecas with Basque surnames,
since it was settled by Juan de Onate's father, who was a Basque.
