Josie:

I am definitely going to try to make it to the Hispanic conference in October as well. I have been meaning to look through the same films you are going to be researching. Since the informacion matrimonial is not indexed, I imagine you will be scanning through the films or do you have approximate dates of marriages that you will be looking up?

I think that those films are the source of the ever-elusive information that I am looking for on the marriage of Isabel de Covarrubias and Jacinto Talamantes since Jaime Holcombe writes that they were vecinos de Zacatecas and the man he cites as Isabel's father would have been working as a familiar de la Santa Inquisicion in Zacatecas when she was born and married.

Can we possibly collaborate on searching through these films? I am sure there is tons of information on a lot of the old Zacatecas families on those films.

I scrolled through two of the films in a more recent time frame for
Zacatecas, Zacatecas Informacion Matrimonial. I can't remember exactly
but a majority of what i found was information for Indio's. I hope the
earlier films include the Espanoles. Actually occassionally i found
reference to an Espanol and Indio(a) marrying or Mestizo's marrying an
Indio, but I don't remember any Espanol/Espanol marriages. Like I said
my films were later and in the time period you are researching I hope
all groups are represented.
