Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the death record of Pedro de la Graza, my 9th great grandfather. He died in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico back in November 20, 1695. This document does not indicate much genealogical information but through other documents we know that his parents were Pedro de la Garza and Ines Rodriguez. We also know that he was married to Lucia de la Rocha.

The Pedro de la Garza that is mentioned as an “albacea” was his son. I am a descendant of his through three of his children Nicolas, Pedro, and Ines. Here is hsi death record
