Colonial Naming Conventions In Mexico by Susana A. Leniski En persona / en línea
Understanding the naming conventions in Colonial Mexico may seem complicated initially, but don't worry! This class will give you valuable insights into how names were used in Mexico before the 19th century and how last names have evolved. Join the Clayton Genealogy library as we welcome guest speaker and Professional Genealogist Susana A Leniski to explore this topic.
This class examines how last names were transmitted during the colonial period, including whether single or multiple surnames were used, and explains how the naming process evolved. It also covers the reasons for surname adoption, the procedures, and the ethnic groups involved. The class will provide case examples, along with the corresponding family trees, to show how last names were passed down through the lineage. By the end, you'll gain a strong understanding of Mexico's historical naming customs, essential for genealogical research for anyone with family roots back to Mexico.
