I was going through a book in our Clayton collection "Residents of Texas, 1782-1836" and spotted a French surname (not commonly found in 1782 New Spain.), I went into Google.com, entered his name and it brought up a website called
Bexar Archives Online Place and Name Index Project. There is a search box where again I entered his name and it brought up this document. Very cool. Try it out.
