This is the December 5, 1786 baptism record of Maria Andrea Lopez, my 4th great grandmother, who was baptized in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Her parents are Jose Antonio Lopez and Maria Francisca Javiera de la Garza. She grows up to marry Jose Antonio Garcia the son of Jose Antonio Garcia and Maria Quiteria Alanis.
The record indicates that she was six days old when baptized and according to my calculations she was born 11-29-1786 and probably at Rancho el Cojo of which I have to yet find a location for.
Below is my transcription of the above baptism record.
