As far as I know vecino means "resident," as of a particular town. My Nuevo Espasa Ilustrado Dictionary defines vecino as "adj, s. 1. Que habita con otros en un mismo pueblo, barrio o casa. 2. Cercano." So there. This so called "expert" was probaby confusing the fact that after an Indian was converted, he/she could no longer live out in the wild among other Indians. He/she had to live at the mission, thus becoming a "vecino," a resident, of said mission, just like all the other residents or inhabitants of the mission like the Spaniards, mestizos, and slaves. The little cross (+) used on the margins of archives or after someone's name simply means that the person has passed away. It is common usage in Spanish writing to refer to Fulano de Tal (+), with the little cross after his/her name, to indicate that the person is dead. I see it frequently when reading Spanish books or articles. Steven H.

Basque?

it was late when I wrote to you last night. This morning I'm seeing that
maybe you mean Basque. Is that what you meant or was I originally right
that you mean Vasque or Vasquez?
if you meant Basque then I would think that yes there was a fair share
of Basque people that came to the new world as well but in Nevada there
is the University of Nevada that has a Basque studies department. You
could possibly find someone there to ask.

Hello Everyone,
I was listing to a NPR show about a week ago that was about the Missions
in and around San Antonio, Texas. Anyway one of the historical experts
in the discussion touched on the meaning of the word, "Vecino." He said
that was used for Indios that had successfully made the conversion over
to the Espanol lifestyle. . .Catholicism. At least that was my
understanding of what he said.
So what say you? I've seen the word "Vecino" in the marriage records
mostly in reference to the persons location. . ."Fue Vecino de este
pueblo de viente anos de edad."
Do you all agree with what I understood that expert said? And if so do
you all think the way I've seen the word Vecino used is to be understood
in the same way?
thanks, Joseph
ps: Has anyone ever noticed that in some records [possibly only death
records] there is a T or "Cross" in the margin? What do you all think
that means?
