I remember reading somewhere that priests were required (prior to Mexican independence) to submit a certification of purity of blood (limpieza de sangre). These certifications were basically genealogies going back a few generations.

Does anyone know where the archives of these documents can be found?

Has someone in the group seen one and have a sample of what they look like?
