Does anyone out there know the origins of the name INEZ, i have come across her name (i thought it was an enumerators mistake) but found out it is her real name, never come across it before, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Lighty - Innez or Inés is a Spanish girls name, their equivalent of Agnes. The following site will help if you find any others:

I am currently working on some notes for researching spanish ancestors and will publish them on my website when completed in the New Year. Keep an eye on:
