This map really helps me visualize the location of the earliest provinces settled by the Conquistadores. Now I know where Nueva Galicia, Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Leon, Nueva Santander, Nuevo Mexico, etc. were. This map also shows Texas, Louisiana, and Florida and the Philipines as Spanish territories.

Settling of Nueva Galicia; early 16th Century
Forums
|
In the above link to History of Mexico - Indigenous Jalisco, this article by John P. Schmal states that the colonial province of Nueva Galicia included, besides Jalisco, only present-day Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Nayarit and the northwest corner San Luis Potosi, and that the Spaniards and some Indian allies began settlement there in the early 16th century. The article also describes which Indian tribes settled in various towns. This article sounds familiar. Maybe someone has posted a link to it before? Emilie Garcia Port Orchard, WA ---

Yes, Arturo,
It is so frustrating to know that Anglos here don't have a clue about our
history. They are amazed when I request records for 1640, or mention that I just downloaded a census for 1650, for example. They say "They have records in Mexico that go back that far?--Who wrote them?" (they have no clue as to how literate and educated the priests and notaries public were). I tell them that I can trace some ancestors to 1543 (in Panuco, Zacatecas). I just can't trace all the lines back that far and there are such huge gaps sometimes due to the upheavals caused in the founding of a nation and opening up of frontiers and the passage of time. I tell them that Jerez where my father was born is on the National Register of Historical Places in Mexico as a well-preserved Spanish Colonial city founded in the early 1500s. They think their 1620 settlements in Massachusetts are the oldest in the Americas. I don't even think they realize how far back our pre-Colombian |

Muchisimas gracias, Jose,
Yes, someone else sent me that film number that I didn't know about because
I had always searched for Jerez, not knowing that Jerez is now called Ciudad Garcia. Emilie Garcia
