The archives of Monterrey contains 42 volumes dating 1599 to 1825 but this book only covers the period from 1599 to 1700. It contains synopsis to 862 documents and best of all many, many of them are about my ancestors.
I am sure that you will also find your ancestors within the pages of this book. This book is truly a genealogical treasure and provides a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors.
