The Mexican censuses and registers contain far more information of a longer time period before the English world. Excellent details on family names, ages, relationships, marital status and other things are included for the late eighteenth century. The researcher should note, however, that using these records, the information contained therein may not be particular to these censuses. In many Spanish censuses of the colonial period it is possible that the information used in one will be used to meet other requirements. While the priest or local mayor had the responsibility of gathering information, it is expected that such enumerations have been used by different levels of civil or ecclesiastical administration to satisfy a demand for them and more. | The Mexican censuses and registers contain far more information of a longer time period before the English world.
