This collection consists of five ecclesiastical marriage investigation records for Native American marriages in what is now the Mexican state of Puebla. The investigations took place in 1786 and 1787. They record standard canonical procedures for assuring the legitimacy of marriages; each document notes that has followed the dictates of the Council of Trent. Auxiliary priests of the parish priest called "tenientes" conduct three of the investigations. Ignacio Mariano de Vasconcellos, a lawyer of the college of San Pablo at Puebla, ecclesiastical judge, and priest, presides over two of the investigations. He was an important cleric in Puebla and from the distinguished Montserrate family.
