Prior to the foundation of the parrish of San Luis Obispo in Colotlan 
c. 1720, the Franciscans ran a convent (monestary) in the city, where 
marriages and baptisms were performed.  Apparently, there are archives 
of the convent, as they are quoted in Esteban Valdes Salazar's book 
Historia de Totatiche, Tomo II... which by the way is invaluable, since 
it has a transcritption of the entire 1770 census as well as 
transcriptions of the major land transactions that occured in the area 
through that period, so that one can plot out the ownership of the land 
and superimpose the residents on each of those plots.

Does anybody have any information on these Colotlan Franciscan archives?
