Last Names of Nuevo Leon
The following document and transcription are of the 1818 baptism of my 3rd great grandmother Maria Tomasa de la Garza Cuellar. She was baptized in Mier, Tamaulipas Mexico. The document indicates that Juan Jose de la Garza is her father and that Gertrudis Cuellar is her mother. Her God parents were Jose Carlos de la Garza and Gertrudis Garcia.
