Wow Arturo that 1785 Census is so cool! What a discovery. I'm ready to start my part of the transcription. but I can see we need a plan. I'm not going to be able to do but sporatic amounts of work, but what appears to be 300+ pages of which I'm guessing like you said about 150+ pages of the actual Padron Okay I've talked to Arturo and I'm starting at page 89 at the bottom and working toward page 100, but would like to see if I can get to page 110 or 120 by the end of Nov or mid Dec he is what I have so far (p89-90verso/recto) joseph. src="jpgicPWaROIwZ.jpg" border="0">

Angie,

As a point of clarification, the independent country of Mexico owned much of
the
Southwest for only a few decades (1810/1820 time frame to ~1848). Spain
owned the
Southwest for centuries. The only reason I bring this up is that I hear the
statement that
Mexico owned California all the time and I am not sure people remember the
dates well or

fully understand the entities involved.

Steven,

As an FYI... the Census was posted in the file section and is also 
available in the link section.  As a note, the census doesn't give 
any specific information on families just on landowners/head of 
household.

I too am following the Miramontes Family from Tlaltenango.  Just 
wondering if you want to exchange some info...

Thanks,
Angie
