This is the January 23, 1803, baptism of Jose Manuel Lopez who was baptized in Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He is my 3rd great-grandfather.
This record states that he was 28 days old at the time of baptism and that puts his birth date as December 26, 1802. His parents are listed as Lorenso Lopez and Maria Barbara Rios.
It is also mentioned that they were from "Los Hoyos". Los Hoyos is present day Los Aldamas, Nuevo Leon. Manuel grows up to marry Maria Cecilia de la Garza and then Maria Tomasa de la Garza. For information on ancestors and descendants visit https://lasvillasdelnorte.com/database/
