The first page appears to have been written by Celestino García. He was Vincent's great great grandfather who was born 25 May 1851 in Barba de Puerco, Salamanca, Spain. Celestino was in the military, so his children were not born in Barba de Puerco, but in the provinces of Huesca and Badajoz. On the first page Celestino lists his four children: Sebastian (Vincent's great grandfather), Higinia, Serapio, and José Alejandrino.
I have transcribed the pages with the Spanish on the left, and my English translation on the right.
