[this is a might long link. if it doesn't work you might have to

go to "Racial Ternminology"
============================================
or:
go to www.familysearch.org and
go to "Library"
go to "Education"
go to "Family History Library Publications" [another time go to
"Research Guidance" and do a search under "Mexico" For a wealth of info]
go to "Word Lists"
go to "Spanish Genealogical Word list"
go to "Racial Terminology"
and you'll see that "Coyote" means:
| Coyote
|
Spanish (�), Indian (3/8), and Negro (1/8) |
I was trying to find other references but wasn't able to find any. If
anyone has a cross reference to the meaning of Coyote that would be
great. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is only one source
of information and it would be safe to consider it but much safer to
consider it in the light of another reference or two. Just like our
genealogy when we see it once we have confidence but if we see the same
couples over and over with other children we "know" we have it right.
Never hurts and always helps to have multiple sources.
