(Founded 6 Mar 1753)
This is an attempt to compile a list of the founding families of Mier,Tamaulipas, Mexico.
The town of Mier, also known as Paso del Cantaro was founded by authority of Jose de
Escandon on March 6, 1753. As my source, I have used Guillermo Garmendia Leal's
bookFundadores de Tamaulipas 1748-1770 in which he documents several censuses
from this period for various settlements in Tamaulipas. I have gone one step beyond in
that I have compiled the list of names intofamilies.
Notes:
A "*" indicates the family is contained in the Genealogy Database
If you of any of these people and any relevant facts that would be helpful, don't hesitate
