Last Names of Nuevo Leon

The following document is the 1891 Civil Registration of Paula Lopez my great grandmother, my father’s grandmother. Growing up I used to hear stories about her and my mother would state that she was the grandmother that she never had. She used to say that she had the biggest heart anyone has ever had and that she is also the person that ever had the greatest faith, since she used to talk to God himself. The following document lists his father as being Jorge Lopez and Maria de la Luz Garza. I just wished I had a picture of her.
