Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the 1696 baptism of my 7th great grandfather Joaquin Cavazos in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This document is interesting in that it shows his date of birth, March 28, 1696. OK the record does not show the year but from the surrounding documents and record collection we get the year. 

His parents are listed as Joseph Cavazos and Jacinta Fernandez. His godparents are listed as Juan Guerra and Elena Cavazos.

Joaquin grows up to marry Ana Catarina Rodriguez de Montemayor.
