The following is the Mier Church Census of Arcabuz, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In prior census the other family listed from time to time is the Gonzalez family. To read more about this town check my previous post The History of El Arcabuz, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Francisco de la Garza is my 5th great grandfather through two of his sons and one daughter. Francisco was the founder of this town which he established in Porcion 14 granted to him by the Spanish Crown in 1767.

Do you know if Gertrudis de la garza was related to Francisco de la Garza and in what way?
At a glance it seems obvious that they are related but I have yet to find a document indicating that they are.
