Spaniards’ request to travel to Puerto Rico

Spaniards’ request to travel to Puerto Rico appeared in the Official Gazette of the province of Santander (1833-1892). Contains Passports request, (Boarding Licence Files,) also known in spanish as Expedientes de licencias de embarque“. These particular lists date from 1846 through 1885. This list also includes some passports that provide valuable information to researchers and genealogists. There are ten in total passports. The rest are requests that were listed in the Santander Gazette. I also give the links to Cuba and Mexico, containing many records. It appears more Spaniards were traveling to those locations.
