GENEALOGY
La Real Cedula de Gracias de
1815 y sus primeros efectos en Puerto Rico
by Dra. Raquel Rosario.
Real Cedula de Gracias or Royal Decree of
Land Grants.
This Decree opened up
the Island of Puerto Rico to the in-migracion of none Spanish European citizens
and mostly white new world citizens with capital to invest. They were given
free state land to plant their crops. Some brought Black slaves with them.
In 1873, the slaves
were freed and usually took on their Master’s surname. After five years the
Master would either leave or swear allegiance to the Spanish King, to the
Catholic Church and start paying taxes. The book goes in to more details but
it’s the list of immigrants that stands out as far as genealogy is concern.
This book is
currently out of print. If you have access to an LDS family history center you
can view a similar but larger list on microfilm. Hopefully some one else will
come in with the film numbers. You can also buy or rent these microfilms from
the National Archives.
This book has not
been microfilmed yet. However write to the author; Dra Raquel Rosario Rivera: rrosario@prtc.net. She may some extra
copies of it.
I have sent to the
archives of the indies”Las Indias” in Seville Spain for a copy of the Juan
Pedro Quirindongo entry on January of 2000 and has shed no new light.
