The baptism above is important because it provides Pedo Salazar's full name: Pedro Miguel Salazar. This is important in linking him to his father.

The baptism above provides the best possible clue to the parentage of both Pedro Salazar and his wife Maria de la Trinidad Valdes. If Cristobal Salazar is Pedro's brother, then Domingo Salazar and Maria Gertrudis Gurule are also Pedro's parents. If Maria Barbara Valdes is Trinidad Valdes's sister, then Juan Bautista Valdes and Anna Maria Archuleta are also Trinidad's parents.
