Hola prim@s,
As mentioned, the pages, Pinos 31 & 32, have no headers, date, location, nor signature of cura nor notary. They appear to be written by a different person, and likely at a later date (date on previous image was 29 Jan 1627). I say that, because, as I began forming the family groups of these early generations, I began noticing that some of the children were baptized at a later date - some as late as 22 Apr 1634. And then it dawned on me: confirmations require the presence of a bishop, and I noticed that the previous confirmations coincided with the bishop’s visits/inspections in Jun 1621, and in Jan 1627. There was another visit in October 1638, so that would be the date of these confirmations. The bishop at the time was Juan Sánchez Duque de Estrada, but the visit/inspection was conducted by el Pᵉ Lᵈᵒ Juan Magaña, Juez Visitor. I suspect that he conducted the confirmations, as well.
Saludos!

Hola:
Muchas gracias, lo vamos a revisar con detenimiento para buscar las relaciones con nuestros ancestros, me pareció muy interesante tener el nombre de las estancias que existían en aquél entonces, porque pocas fuentes históricas las citan.
Por cierto el apellido Faras es correcto, es de una familia que se estableció en Parral y hay la variante Faras de Amaya. Se cree que es un apellido de origen judío pero yo personalmente creo que es moro.
Saludos
Marcelina
