Hola:

Muchos de los marinos que acompañaron las expediciones eran griegos o genoveses, personalmente creo que los Martin (Pinzón) pudieron haber tenido ese origen, yo desciendo de uno de ellos, el capitán Onufrio Martin, que naufragó frente a las costas de Venezuela en 1540. Pero hay otras familias de origen griego como la del conquistador Juan Griego cuya familia pasó a Durango, eran carreteros,  otros Griego fueron a Nuevo México, el conquistador Pedro de Rodas fue otro caso, la familia Candía (Sandi en algunos registros), loa Argüello, Argüelles, los Livera.

Literal transcript without abbreviations plus capital letters. In case you need the other little details besides what Mr. Ricci has mentioned.

Not sure if the brides mother's last name is "peres" or "lares". probably the former.

Blas Madera mestiso originario de Minillas y vesino de esta pheligrecia veinte años a, y viudo de Teresa de Avila cuyo cuerpo se sepulto en esta yglecia tres años a, hijo legitimo de Joseph Madera y de Josepha Velasques, Paresco ante vuestra majestad como mejor aya lugar en dicho. y digo que por quanto tengo ajuntado mi casamiento con Maria Lorensa española de los Sauses y vesina desta pheligrecia seis años a, hija legitima de Sevastian Magaianes y Ephigenia Peres? para poder contraer dicho matrimonio....

This is a marriage record For Blas Madera and María Lorenza. It says that he is a widower and that his parents are Joseph Madera and Josepha Velasquez. It seems that they initially forgot to name the parents of Maria Lorenza (Magdalena or Magallanes)

I agree that it is Tlazcala.

Giving it just a quick look, the first thing it comes to my mind is "tlazcala" the "H" kind of resembles the "tl" in the word Colotlan at the beginning of the record, and what it looks like a "t" could also be a "l" at the last syllable. Thus maybe a town of that name within Colotlan? Just a thought on other possibles spellings.

I notice that too, for now I can only think of clicking on any of the indexed person in the bottom on the "image index tab" and it will highlight only that person allowing you to see the rest of the image.

Hopefully they implement a switch for ease of viewing. (unless there is one already, haven't check thoroughly.

The name is "Yñiguez".
