Laura,

This baptismal record reads as follows:

Al margen: "Christoval Manuel Español de este Pueblo Padrinos = Juan de Castañeda y Agustina Maria de Saldivar"

"En el año del Señor de mil setecientos y nuebe en el Pueblo de Taltenango baptize y puse los Santos Oleos a Christoval Manuel hijo de Hernando de Castañeda y de Antonia Perez españoles y vecinos desta Jurisdicion Padrinos Juan de Castañeda y Agustina María de Saldivar [a quienes] les adverti la cognacion espiritual y obligacion de enseñarle la doctrina Christiana y para que conste lo firme." [f] "Manuel de Messa Messa**"

** Este es un error. La firma debería decir Manuel de Messa y Cervantes, como en las partidas anteriores.

You have correctly stated the date, 1 Jan 1709.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Rgds,

BILL FIGUEROA

It's the next to last entry on the right hand side.

Here's what I have:

Baptism

Date: 1 Jan 1709
Father: Hernando de Castañeda
Mother: Antonia Perez

Thank you!

Hi Laura
has anyone helped you?
I see what you have is correct. I also see the Padrinos: Juan de
Castañeda and Agustinna de Saldivar.
I also see where it states that Hernando & Antonia are 'vecinos de Tlat.
un mes". So they were new to the area.
