Margarito Torres of La Blanca Zacatecas was my great grandfather. I found his death registration but I'm having a hard time reading it. I think this document contains other information that will help me trace back my ancestry further. I have attached the death registration and was wondering if any of you can help me read what it says. I thought his parents were Cristoval Torres and Teresa Morales, but I think this document says that they are his grandparents. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, that should have said that I thought his parents were Cristoval Torres and TRINIDAD Morales not Teresa, but I think the document says they are his grandparents. Is that correct?

It is hard to read but this is what I understood:

Cristoval Torres, 68 years, married?, farmer, from and neigbor of Saladillo declares that today at 16 hours (PM) Margarito Torres died at age 38.
The disease that killed him was fever and he was buried in the local cemetery.
Paternal grandparents: Cristoval Torres, living, and Trinidad Morales, deceased.
Maternal grandparents: Jose ¿? and S¿? M¿?

Thank you Victoriano. That's what I got as well. I really wish they had used typewriters back then. It would have made our work much easier. LOL

This is not an answer to your question but maybe you still need this record

Thank you. I do not have that record. If this is the same person, did they record the gender incorrectly? It says Trinidad was male, but then it has the spouse listed as Cristobal.

Is Trinidad in your family tree as well?
