Last Names of Nuevo Leon

While researching one of my ancestors I came across this book. Even-though it did not help me fins what I was looking for I thought it would be a great idea to share it with you, just in case that you are also researching ancestors in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.

The only thing is that it does not contain all the baptisms for Saltillo but only for a few select last names. Those last names are: Arispe, Arredondo, Berlanga, Cabello, Cardenas, Davila, Del Bosque, Morales, Padilla, Recio, Siller, and Zertuche.

I hope that you may find this book useful and or at least know that it is out there if you ever need to consult it, below is more information about this book.

  1. Have discovered your website and find it very informative. I’m hoping that someone can either answer a question I have or direct me to where I can find the answer.

    My question is: In researching documents (baptismal and marriage records) of many of my ancestors in colonial Mexico (Monterrey & Aguascalientes), I often come across records in which a male is recorded as “Joseph” instead of what I would expect “Jose.” at some point during the early 19th century, the use of the name “Joseph” disappears entirely. Why would the Sagrarios of Monterrey & Aguascalientes record many of my male ancestors as “Joseph” during the 17th & 18th centuries?

    Thank you for any assistance you can offer me in finding out the answer to my question,

    Sincerely,

    Jose D.

    1. It was dependent on the priest and what college he came from. I find record collections listing them as Joseph and then the priest is changed and the new registration changes to Jose.
