Armorial of the Indigenous Nobles of New Spain
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

In this post, you will find an eBook about the Armorial of the Indigenous Nobles of New Spain. In other words their coat of arms and royal decrees.

I came across this eBook a few months back while researching my own ancestors. The book contains 25 coat of arms that where issued by the Spanish crown to Indigenous Nobles of New Spain from 1534-1588.

Twelve of them are to Tlaxcaltecans for the services and help rendered to Hernan Cortez. The genealogical information that you can find in the book is none. But, I am sharing the book because I know that some of our readers are descendants of some of the people mentioned in it.

If you are one of them, then this book can offer clues as to where to go looking for more records. For the rest of us, it is another resource where we can quickly check for names of our ancestors.

Below is the cover of the book and the link where to get a copy of the book. Also further down is a list of the names that appear on the book.

  1. Had a chance to scroll through both links, and all i can say is wow! Everyday, i learn something new. Thank you, very enlightening.

  2. The GALAVIS coat of arms depicts bare chested native Indian man with bands on his arms and his hair with a band.
    There are no castles, lions or trees on the coat of arms. What might this indicate. The entire crest is that
    bare chested Indian. My grandfather is Galaviz and his dna (Y) results indicate indigenous, not European.
    Thank you.
