Hola, everyone:
My name is Rian and I am currently researching my 10th great-grandfather, Andrés de ARAIZA. I believe he was born around 1635 and he married Micaela de YSASI/ISASSI around 1655. Their children are: Catalina de ARAIZA (1658-?) and Antonio de ARAIZA (1661-?), both of whom were born in Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco. Andrés de ARAIZA died 4 Jul 1662 in Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco.
This WikiTree* says that Andrés de ARAIZA's parents were Juan de ARAIZA y MEDINA and María de las Islas, however I have not found any sources that support this.
*WikiTree: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Araiza-16
Has anyone come across my 10th great-grandfather, Andrés de ARAIZA, in their research and knows how he fits into the picture?
Siempre agradecido,
Rian R.

The records that provide this information on Andres’s parents is found in the marriage dispensations:

I have a copy this book of dispensations by M Montejano Hilton.

Hi, Rick - thank you so much for your reply!
Are those dispensas the same ones that mralvarez314 shared on this post? I read through those scans several times, but I did not see any reference to Andrés de ARAIZA's parents, or to Juan de ARAIZA y MEDINA and María de las Islas - did I miss something?
I do not have access to that book of dispensations by M. Montejano Hilton, can the book be accessed online?
¡Gracias!
