I remember reading somewhere that priests were required (prior to Mexican independence) to submit a certification of purity of blood (limpieza de sangre). These certifications were basically genealogies going back a few generations.
Does anyone know where the archives of these documents can be found?
Has someone in the group seen one and have a sample of what they look like?
Have you gotten any info on your question?
I have a book; have not seen it in a long time....but I could find it if needed. It had the priest and his ancestors listed. I may have gotten that in Spain.
When you ask where could they be found....probably in the Franciscan Archives....wouldn't you think? Most probably there because I do not think they would be at the Archivo de la Nacion.
Now, I need to find that book. It will give the info that you need.

do you think they might be in some of these records? I've not looked
into these records yet and would like to one day order a film to see
what kind of info there is for them. I've got a Cipriano Puente who was
a priest in Huejucar during the 1860's-1870's and I'd be interested to
see if he is related. But this is after Independence so would'nt fit in
with purity of blood idea:
