1810 Baptism of Jose Francisco Gonzalez Cantu
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the September 19, 1810 Baptism of Jose Francisco Gonzalez Cantu who was baptized in China, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He is my 3rd great grandfather.

It is indicated by this record that his father is Blas Gonzlaez and Josefa Cantu.

This record is special since it also mentions the paternal grandparents as being Jose Antonio Gonzalez and Maria Francisca de la Garza. His maternal grandparents are listed as Santiago Cantu and Maria Rosalia Villarreal.

Francisco grows up to marry Maria Antonia Salinas the daughter of Jose Francisco Salinas and Maira Celedonia Hinojosa.

Below is the transcript of his baptism record.
