Principal English Translation: 

a personal name; e.g. don Juan de Andrada de Moteuzoma was born from a Spaniard named Pedro Gallego "conquistador," and doña Isabel de Moteuczoma (daughter of Moteuczoma Xocoyotl); don Juan would die in Spain, but he left two children, don Pedro Andrada [de Moteuczoma] and doña Inés Andrada [de Moteuczoma]; don Pedro de Andrada de Moteuczoma married doña Luisa de Penas, the daughter of an "exploiter of native labor" (obrajero) and they had a daughter named doña Mariana Andrada, a "quadroon" (castiza, or one quarter indigenous); doña Mariana would marry don Pedro Troche; don Pedro and doña Luisa also had another child, don Juan Andrada de Moteuczoma Telpochtli, who was "given in service in Quauhtlan and Acaxochitla"; such a genealogy links pre-contact with Spanish colonial times (central Mexico, seventeenth century)
