This is the April 18, 1697 Death Record of Isabel de la Garza who died in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Isabel is my 8th great-grandmother.
I was able to find this record when I indexed the Monterrey deaths from 1668-1794.
As the record mentions he was the wife of Bernabe de Villarreal. From other records we know that her parents are Francisco de la Garza and Juana Garcia.
Her husbands parents are Diego de Villarreal and Beatriz de las Casas.
I am a descendant of her through her son Joseph de Villarreal who married Maria de Oropeza.
Here is the graphical image of what you just read.
To date I have discovered that Bernabe and Isable had seven children and have over 10,500 descendants. You can view their descendants and ancestors on Las Villas del Norte Genealogy Database here: https://lasvillasdelnorte.com/database/
Here is the transcription.
