1766 Marriage of Francisco Salvador Valdez and Maria Antonia Gertrudis Rodriguez
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the 1766 Marriage of Francisco Salvador Valdez and Maria Antonia Gertrudis Rodriguez, my 5th great-grandparents, who got married in what is now Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.

It is interesting to note that this marriage record mentions that names of their parents. It also mentions that they were related by blood and that a marriage dispensation was done.

With that marriage dipensation, I was able to find more ancesotors. Always look for clues in the records.
