Hispanic Surnames and Family History
The best source of Hispanic genealogies y family histories published before 1996 is called Hispanic Surnames and Family History (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1996) written by Lyman D. Platt.
Pages 51-91 contain a list of surnames for which publications can be found and pages 93-205 list the corresponding publications. The list includes 1,883 titles and 3,000 volumes.
Just because a publication is for a different country than the one you are researching, that doesn't mean that it is not significant for studying your surname. During colonial times, many families dispersed throughout different regions of Latin America. This book is also a good study source for surnames from Spain.
