Mier Census of 1800

-

 

POSTED BY: CARDENAS.AE@GMAIL.COM MAY 10, 2019


A number of years ago Hesiquio Perez provided me with a copy of the 1800 Church Census of the Jurisdiction of Mier, Tamaulipas. The census appeared in HGJ Vol.7 #2, 1989 and was transcribed and submitted by Mary Lou Vela and Saul Vela, Ph.D., HGS member. I assume HGS is the Hispanic Genealogical Society of Harlingen and HJR is their journal. So thanks to them. If I am not interpreting the acronym correctly, my apologies to whoever is responsible for this information and thanks for your work. And thank you to Hesiquio for his kindness in sharing.

Most of the early settlers in Duval County immigrated from Mier and surrounding areas, so this information may be helpful to genealogists looking for family connections beyond Duval County. Just click on the link below. It is 21 pages, so make sure you do so when you have time to look it over closely. Also, make sure you read the first page which contains important information, like meanings of abbreviations. Finally, the document is searchable so you can use Control or Command F to find an ancestor’s name.

    Thank you Mr. Cardenas for this information on the 1800 Census of Mier. My G-G-Grandfather Felipe Bazan is listed on that census. It will help us with this information to continue our family search.

    Saul and Mary Lou Vela were very active members of the Houston group (not Harlingen).
    Thank you for sharing.

      Thank you, Mira. That had been my first guess but then I saw something on the Internet about members of the Harlingen group going to Mier so I thought maybe that was what the “H” stood for. Glad you cleared this up.

(Photo courtesy of Tommy Molina)  Tommy Molina led the 1964 San Diego Vaqueros state basketball finalist team, but he and his team members will no doubt give credit to the entire team, including the reserves and coaches. Still, at 6’4 ¾”, Molina was the big man on the court and provided much energy to the squad. During the pre-district games, Molina was the top scorer with 297 points, averaging 17.5 points per game, although the starters played only the first half in seven of those games.
