 * Coacalco de Berriozábal &gt; San Francisco de Asís contains records that could also belong in the browse path Tultitlán de Mariano Escobedo &gt; San Antonio de Padua.

References to San Lorenzo, Tultitlán also occur because both churches of San Lorenzo (16th century) and San Antonio de Padua (18th century) are in Tultitlán.
 * San José Allende &gt; San José &gt; Defunciones 1754-1803 are found in Mexico, Guerrero, Catholic Church Records, 1576-1979 &gt; Tixtla de Guerrero &gt; San Martín &gt; Defunciones 1854-1862, 1879-1959.
