The Convent of San Francisco is were most of the founders and settlers of Monterrey were buried. It dated back till the 1590’s but unfortunately it was demolished in 1914. As you may have noticed, most death records of my ancestors name this Church as the place of burial. If anyone can point the location where the church used to be please send me the GPS location so that I may check it out on Google Maps.

You can read more about the location were this convent used to be situated by reading a guest post titled “Location of Convent of San Francisco, Monterrey” by George P. Cervantes. Hope you enjoyed these images and George’s post.

I truly feel sorry when I drive by the place this church used to be. I wonder what it would look like today if it still was standing and what a throve of riches it would hold.
Thanks for sharing. His works are amazing. I often wonder if anything of our ancestors was left undisturbed.
