Biographical Information on Early Families of Aguascalientes

Published by gpf13 -

Is there any book that has biographical information on the early families of Aguascalientes?

It would be very interesting to have more than just names and dates.

Thanks for the suggestion ... this looks interesting. Between Google translation and some help from my wife, I'll be able to read it!

George,
Another book by Beatriz Rojas dealing with early Aguascalientes society (also in Spanish) is, "Las Instituciones de Gobierno y la Elite Local. Aguascalientes del Siglo XVII hasta la Independencia. Beatriz, who by coincidence is the sister-in-law of one of my brothers, is native to Aguascalientes and a very acomplished academician. In this book she covers the entire span of socioeconomic development of Aguascalientes.
I believe this book can be ordered online from "El Colegio de Michoacan". For a preview go to: http://books.google.com/books?id=uvAkXvcU5KMC&dq=Hacienda+de+Penuelas&s…

Sincerely

George,
This is an excellent book, worthy of serious studying. I have a copy and have found it very useful in understanding the socioeconomic development of Aguascalientes. There is major transition in the aristocracy of Aguascalientes from the XVII century to the XVIII century. Colegio de Michoacan offers many interesting books for pennies on the dollar, though shipping makes up for it.
