Microfilm No. 169026 Testamentos (1659 - 1843)


By MADERA_32 - Posted on 11 December 2014

Today I justed started scrolling through the beginning of Testamentos Microfilm year 1659 - 1843. Starts out year 1675 Tecolotlan. I am impressed with how clear, neatly written the documents are. I was reading a Testament of a person name Manuela Marin Del Valle. So many differnt kinds of information such as "La Tienda" and has lists of items along with their value. Then another list called, "Cabrales" which is a long list of names of poeple and how much they owe. Then list of belongings such as tierras, ropa, etc. Then I saw something called, "Fabricas y efectos en La Estancia De San Antonio. Which San Antonio is this? Here are copies I made:

I was also reading another list and what caught my atention is this line which may seem to make reference to name of a ship that sailed from Cadiz, Espana to Veracruz:

"Se han pagado el Maestre del Navio El Annoganite por la conduccion de otras caxones desde Cadiz a Veracruz."

I have only looked through the first few pages before I had to leave the LDS Center. I only had an hour. But so many different kinds of lists. I hope to find testamentos of my ancestors. Such as my ggggggg grandparents Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709?) Maria De La Candelaria Angon (1655 - 1735)
