The information and ease of finding original parish records, etc. is so much appreciated. Thank you for creating this great website with so many valuable resources. How do I find land grants or property deeds or mining ownerships (1700s and early 1800s) of San Antonio, Baja California Sur, Mexico?
Thank you for your comments. I have not looked for any so I have no answers for you as to where to locate land grant information.
