The church of Inmaculada Concepcion of Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico has played an immense role in my family's history and now in tracing my Genealogy. I have traced over two hundred years of Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths thought the records left behind by her priests. Here are some old pictures and some modern ones of this great church.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures! I am looking at my family's history and found that my Great Great Grandmother, Sara Romula Leal, was baptized at this chuch in 1870s.
ReplyDeleteOn a whim I googled 'Inmaculada Concepción, Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico' and your blog came up!
I see that you have Guerra listed, too. Sara's parents were Joaquina Guerra and Jose de los Santos Leal.
Thank you again for giving me a visual of my history!
