NOTE: Originally published between 1772 and 1783, this monumental work explores the early history and institutions of the Canary Islands. It describes the individual islands, and provides an amazing amount of information on many of the towns and villages, including population statistics, military command structure, and usually a description of the churches and convents in the towns. Once the researcher has discovered the name of the town where his ancestor lived, he should read Viera y Clavijo's c.1772 description of that town. A very important source!
