If you don't read or speak Spanish we would still love to have you help improve and grow our global tree!

Simply answer below and you will be greeted and added to the project. We chat in Discord and I'd love to see you there!

Hola!

My Spanish ancestry dates back to the 1500s and 1600s. My parents were able to go to Rhonda, the home of Jose Sanchez de Ortigosa y Giles (1690-1750), but there are many more ancestors to locate. I have taken three years of Spanish paleography, speak and read Spanish enough to get by, and use it here in Florida whenever I can.

I hope to find more ideas and kin here.

Mi ascendencia Espanola se remonta a los anos 1500 y 1600. Mi cinco bisabuela se llama Jose Sanchez de Ortigosa y Giles (1690-1750). Nacido en Rhonda, emigro a San Augustin en La Florida, America, y se caso con Juana Theodora Perez (1696-1761).

Espero encontrar mas ideas y parientes aqui.

Estou em busca de somar a uma única árvore genealógica onde todos nos entrelaçamos e estou na árdua tarefa de contar através de meus descendentes a história de nossa família para minha filha. Até onde sei a história começa no eixo Itália - Portugal - Espanha. Criei perfis nos principais sites de genealogia e constantemente atualizo meu GEDCOM. Obrigado!

Interested! I am mostly working on Ledesmas in California and Mexico right now but my ultimate goal is to find European family connections.

I don't, but my kids have ancestors from Santander and probably other parts of Spain too. My fist language is Spanish of course and I do manage a little latin too. Count me in!

Hola Mindy,

Estoy probando de encontrar los antepasados de mi ex-marido. Pero España no tiene muchas 'online sources'. Asi que tal vez haya algo de ayuda disponible en este proyecto. Entonces, si me quieren en el proyecto, me uniré, pero saben que no puede hablar debida a algunas problemas anteriores de Wikitree.

Tengo los mismos problemas con los registros en línea, Margreet. Ojalá todos podamos ayudarnos con eso. ¡Bienvenido!

Hi Mindy,

Can I please join?

I can trace my Spanish ancestry to Rodrigo Diaz Vivas.

My Norman ancestry includes William of Normandy.

My Holy Roman Empire ancestry includes Charlmagne.

My West Saxon ancestry goes as far back as Cerdic King of the West Saxons and so also includes Alfred the Great.

Thank you

I would like to join the project.  I started researching my mother's (who is Spanish) side of the family for 20 years now, although it is only recently with many more digital records being published online that I have been able to make good headway. I am researching Picatoste, Cereceda, Bello, Belmonte, on my grandfather's side and Romero, Fernandez, Quijano and Garrido on my grandmother's side.
