==Offices and Archives to Contact==
===Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies)  in Seville, Spain===
The Archivo General de Indias in Seville, Spain, is the repository for Spanish documents dealing with the Spanish colonial period in the Americas. You may want to look for your ancestor’s records in the following sections of the archive:
*'''''Informaciones de Méritos y Servicios de los Descubridores/Conquistadores ''(Information on Merits and Services of the Discoverers and Conquerors)'''. This contains documents of the ships and passengers who sailed to the colonies during the early 1500s.
*'''''Casa de Contratación de las Indias ''(House of Contracts of the Indies)'''. This is an excellent documentation of passenger lists for ships sailing to the American colonies between 1509 and 1701, as well as petitions and licenses for permission to emigrate during the period 1534 to 1790.
