Hello:

I hope someone can help me. I have an ancestor who traveled from Spain to Mexico in the early 1800's. I was able to find his marriage record and it states that he is from Villa De San Simon, Santiago de Galicia. Am I right to assume that this is Santiago de Compostala? My ancestors name is Juan Bautista de Iglesias son of Pedro De Iglesias and Dominga Castelao. I did a quick google search on the name Castelao and its also common in the region.

Thanks,
Janet
