How should on proceed to track the roots if I only have (i) the name; Joseph Galindo or Joseph de Urrea, (ii)date of birth May 15th 1720, and (iii) place Zaragoza (no detail where in Zaragoza though.

Is it a needle in a heystack to search for church records (the online one do not provide inforamtion). How should one proceed?

Further, there is an old family story that he escaped Spain, changed his name from Marquis Joseph de Urrea to Joseph Galindo d'Urrea. Suprisingly, he married a french huguenot (Marie Pirou) in London in 1750.

Got a potential thread; There was one noble de Urrea family in Zaragoza between 1600 - 1750. Don Antonio de Urrea (born 1675 catalayud, child of Don Fernando de Urrea y Aragon and Dona Isabel Tomas Jayme) married Dona Josefa de Burgos (child of Don Pedro Francisco de Burgos and dona Ursula Alfay)in 1704 and got at least following children;

1. Josefa Isabel Manuela de Urrea b. 1715 (Zaragoza)
2. Manuela Josefa Ramona de Urrea b. 1719 (Zaragoza)
3. Francisca Ignacia Ramona de Urrea b. 1721 (Zaragoza)
4. Antonio de Urrea y Burgos b? (+ 1736). Married to Dona Rosa Mendieta (children; 1. Valero Montengon de Urrea, 2. Francisca Ignacia de Urrea, 3. Lamberto de Urrea)

If anyone knows more about this family it would be very intersting. In particular did Antonio and Josefa have more children and any linkage to conde de Aranda (Ximenez de Urrea)

In case someone is interested in this family I have quite a bit of more info.
