Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is theĀ April 5, 1801 Baptism of my third great grandfather Jose Gabriel Lopez in Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This document indicates that his parents are Lorenzo Lopez and Maria Barbara Rios. It is interesting to note that it mentions that they are form Los Hoyos, now days Los Aldamas, Nuevo leon.

Jose Gabriel Lopez grows up to marry Maria de Jesus Gonzalez, the daughter of Pedro Jose Gonzalez and Maria Juana Cuellar.
