| Notes: In this village and mission of San Ignacio on November 19, 1761, this book in which the baptismal, marriage, and burial entries of the natives of the village of Los Ángeles de Guevavi and its visitas are recorded, was presented by Ignacio Pfefferkorn, minister of doctrine for His Majesty in the said villages, before Padre Ignacio Lizasoain of the Company of Jesus, General Visitor of the missions of this province of New Spain and General Ecclesiastic Visitor of the said missions pertaining to the Bishopric of Durango, of which Bishop Doctor Don Pedro Tamarón y Romeral is the actual bishop. His Reverence, having seen that the entries are in accordance with the Holy Council of Trent, said that they should be approved, and they were approved, and that appreciation should be given, and it was given, to the said father minister for his apostolic zeal applied to, and with which he proceeds in, the completion of his task. Accordingly, His Reverance charged him to continue with the same performance of his work as he has done in the past and is presently doing – that before he signs each baptismal, marriage, or burial entry, he should certify it in writing and not by number, complying with everything in the Roman Ritual. And I sign during this general visit in which I am engauged. Certified:
Ignacio Lizasoain, IHS
Before me, Manuel Aguirre, IHS, Secretary |
