The documentation for this genealogy came from church, census and other historical records in St Augustine, FL, through the research of Mrs Eleanor Philips Barnes, a noted genealogist of St Augustine. She obtained the pre-1768 data(date the family came to America from Minorca) from Father Fernando Mardi, Church Archivist of Minorca. Church records in Minorca date to the mid 1500's. Records prior to that time were destroyed by the Turks who invaded the island in the mid 1500's. Taken from: [1]
