The index ends at the names that start with "P!"
Just before we get to my Rangels, and Romos:(
As if they intentionally wanted to tease me.
Hello:
During the last months I´ve found several books that are helping me understand more about the Colonial times in Mexico. For the people in Mexico you can find those books at: Fondo de Cultura Económica.
There are many stores through all Mexico. In the store of Santiago de Queretaro (where I live) there is a really big history section.
I´ve bought at a very accesible price the following:

Hello Humberto!
I will take you up on your offer to help! Believe me, I really need help
with a "brick wall" that I have been at for a long time! My elusive
ancestors, Juan Antonio Liendo and Catalina de la Rosa were from Zacatecas,
according to the will of their son, Juan Antonio Liendo (Jr. or el Mozo) who
died about 1777 at an advanced age. He states that he was originally from
Zacatecas but I have not been able to locate anything on him or his parents.
A genealogy friend of mine from Aguascalientes told me that perhaps I might
find something in Queretaro.......I have not attempted any research in
Queretaro as yet. If you EVER see the surnames "LIENDO" OR "DE LA ROSA" in
the late 1600s or early 1700s in any of your searches, I would really
appreciate it if you would contact me and give me the info so I can follow
up on it. I am almost certain that the surname "Liendo" begins with Juan
Antonio Liendo Sr. in Zacatecas (or Queretaro) because I have found a lot of
people with that

Just to give everyone a taste, here is a letter that mentions Diego de Ayala:
Florian Moreno a su mujer Maria Roldana, en Median de Rioseco

Don't worry....you're not missing anything. There are NO Rangels
and only one Romo. :( I actually found very little that offered
direct help on my lines from this book. However, I still feel
it is an excellent collection. The letters give terrific insights
into the times. And, although I'm certain some errors could
exist in dates/times, etc., I believe most relationships and
locational comments were near correct, because they were writing
most often to family members.
Re Romo:
The only Romo is Juan del Romo, only casually mentioned as someone
temporarily accommodating friends in a letter from Pedro del
Castillo to his son, Pedro del Castillo, in Torija.
I'm reprinting here, only the adjunct section containing the
Romo name, as the letter is quite long.
No. 121 - p. 126
"Pedro del Castillo a su hijo Pedro del Castillo, en Torija.
Mexico, 1.X.1593"
"Pedro el Corvo y su mujer quedan en mi casa, Juan Perez y sus
hijos en casa de Chamorro, los Perandreses en casa de Juan del

Hi,
Is there anything relating to a Pedro Sepulveda, or Diego Ayala, or any Robles?
I am also researching Andres de Tapia, Alonso Sosa de Albernoz, Juan Navarro.
I have a book that I bought from Borderland Book Stores. The book is "The Encomenderos of New Spain 1521 - 1555" by Robert Himmerich y Valencia. I have found it to be an interesting resouce.
It lists some of the encomeneros that arsoe earyl in New Spain. It lists some tranference of ownership.
I am willing to do lookups.

Esther,
You're in luck, because there is indeed some info on those names!
I just wanted you to know I will be working on them and try
to produce an annotated outline of the individuals I found in
the book, so you can see which you'd like to have sent to you.
Don't know that they'll be "the right ones" but we can hope.
