1696 Death Record of Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the 1696 death record of Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo who died in the now present-day city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She is my ninth great grandmother.

I originally found a reference to her death in the book "Fundadores de Nueva Galicia: Guadalajara Tomo I" by Guillermo Garmendia Leal. The book provided a date and place and all I had to do was go look for it. That is how research goes.

Now, back to the record. Beatriz is the daughter of Blas de la Garza and Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo. She was the wife of Captain Gregorio Fernandez de Tijerina. I am a descendant of theirs through their daughters Juan Leonor and Catalina.

Below is the transcription of the record.

  1. I am related to Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo, my direct ancestor of 12 generations, married to Blas Ma. de la Garza Falcon. However, my records show she lived from 1591 – 1670. Isn’t this the same Blas Ma. de la Garza that colonized South Texas? The dates are totally different though….confused.

  2. Beatriz is in my family tree as my 9th great grandaunt. I am related through her sister, María Inés de la Garza González Hidalgo, my 9th great-grandmother.
