Ignacio Guerra Canamar
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the 1701 death record of Ignacio Guerra Cañamar who died December 7, 1701 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He is my eighth great grandfather.

Ignacio was the son of Antonio Guerra Cañamal and Luisa Hernandez de Rio Frio. He first married Maria de la Garza Cavazos the daughter of Juan Cavazos and Elena de la Garza.

His second marriage was to Maria Catalina Fernandez de Tijerina the daughter of Gregorio Fernandez de Tijerina and Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo.

Believe it or not I am a descendant of his from both marriages.

Next month I will publish a book titled "Guerra: Last Names of Nuevo Leon" and it will be based on the descendants of Ignacio since he is considered to be the progenitor of the Guerra surname in Nuevo Leon.

Here is the transcritpion to the above record.
