Index to Families in Spanish-Mexican Families of Early California: 1769-1850, Volume 1: Surnames A-B

...
The Southern California Genealogical Society published three volumes of the work by Marie E. Northrop titled Spanish-Mexican Families of Early California: 1769-1850 (Published by Southern California Genealogical Society, Burbank, California. Volume I - 435 pages. Volume II - 396 pages. Volume III - 525 pages). A description of the work by Northrop, and researchers before and after her, are here.

Each volume has an every-name index that is immensely helpful to genealogy researchers, but only if the researcher has the volumes at hand - in their personal library or at a local repository. The Chula Vista Civic Center Branch Library (365 F Street, Chula Vista CA) has all three volumes on the shelf in the Family Research section (Reference, Family Research, 929.3794, Northrop).

The books are organized by family names - a male head of family, his vital records, his spouse(s), her vital records, and their children (vital records, spouses, etc.). The book is regarded as a seminal work by historians and genealogists for early California.

Interest in genealogy and family history is burgeoning in Southern California, and many persons of Spanish and Mexican heritage are coming to local genealogy societies, such as the Chula Vista Genealogical Society, for help with their research.

However, there is no Index available on the Internet for online researchers to determine if their Spanish or Mexican ancestors are in the books. My sole purpose in posting this series is to provide an index, which will be found by search engines, that provides an indication that a specific surname is in the volumes.

This indexing will be a series of posts created by transcribing the name of the male head of each family and his birth and death years. It is not intended to be a replacement for the three volume work, but a finding aid for online researchers to determine if their ancestors might be in the books.
