Heraldry. With the third volume begins the Diccionario

genealogies, which includes notes on the origin of the surnames and
color illustrations of the Coats-of-Arms.

Mogrobejo (see below). This index can be reached by clicking HERE. The Index page also
lists various libraries in the United States that have this
work in their collection.
A complete listing of the surnames appearing in this work, indicating
the corresponding Volume number, also appears as an Appendix in the
book Hispanic Surnames and Family History by Lyman D. Platt, listed below.
Note that names starting with letters V, W, X, Y and Z were not published
because the authors both died before completing the work (but see
the description of the continuing work by Endika de Mogrobejo described
below).
This collection can be found at a number of libraries, in addition
to those in the Library of Congress listing, including the Otto
Richter Library at the University of Miami, and the LDS Church
Family History Library at Salt Lake City.
Please note that the books are numbered with both Enciclopedia and the Diccionario volume numbers
(in other words there is a two volume difference in numbering). In
the following lists we refer to the 86 volume Diccionario volume numbers.
