Hi Maria,

If you have time......would you please look up the surname "LIENDO" and sometimes it was spelled "LIENDRO"........I am at a big roadblock with this surname in Zacatecas in the late 1600s and the 1700s. From Zacatecas they went on to Saltillo but I am needing anything in Zacatecas that I can find......Thanks, Maria.......you are so generous!

Hugs,

Josie
