This is the death record of my 4th great grandfather Jose Anselmo Perez whom died in Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
What is nice about this record is that it mentions that he was married to Maria Rita Rodriguez and that he was from Cieneguilla. The record also mentions that he made a will, that is a clue for further research. This is one of the reasons that I highly recommend that you always find records, transcribe them, and analyse them for additional clues.
I have yet to find the parents of his wife Maria Rita Rodriguez.
If interested in seeing whom the parents of Jose Anselmo, you can find out by reading his baptism record here: Baptism of Jose Anselmo Perez.
