+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:
-Various Spanish archives have records that may show the emigrant’s origin. The principle archives are the General Archives of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias) in Seville, Spain; the Military Archives of Segovia; and the General Archive of Simancas. For further information on military archives, see [[Peru Military Records]] and [[Peru Archives and Libraries]].<br>
+*'''''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. A digital index of ''Casa de Contratación de las Indias ''records as well as linked digital images are available online through [http://pares.culturaydeporte.gob.es/inicio.html Archivos Españoles en Red.]
-You may want to look for your ancestor’s records in the following sections of the General Archives of the Indies:
+*'''''Informaciones y licencias de pasajeros (Passenger information and permits)''''. This covers the period between 1534 and 1790 and comprises all the information or evidence that had to be submitted to the Casa de la Contratación by anyone who wished to travel to the newly-discovered territories, and the permits issued by the chairman and official judges of the Casa. In this information, passengers had to provide proof of their standing as long-term Christians. Therefore, some files include baptism and marriage certificates which give biographical and genealogical information not only on the passengers, but also on the people that accompanied them.
