Last Names of Nuevo Leon

Here is the June 6, 1771 Marriage of Joseph Santiago Cantu and Maria Rosalia de Villarreal who got married in what is now Montemorelos, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. They are my 5th great grandparents.

This record indicates that the parents of Joseph Santiago Cantu are Nicolas Cantu and Theresa Guaxardo. The record indicates that the parents of Maria Rosalia Villarreal are Juan Antonio Villarreal and Rosalia Flores

It also provides a valuable clue as to where to further look for records. It states that Maria Rosalia is from el real de Savinas.
