STILL WORKING ON THIS BLOG…

We are running some tests with a new structure. We will be done soon.

NOTE: The last name Ybarra can also be spelled with an “I”. In its beginnings Ibarra was spelled this way and eventually evolved to Ybarra. Some people around the world still use the old form (Ibarra). It would be interesting to the Ybarras and Ibarras out there to tell us more about their last names and why the use either form of the last name. Here is the information we got about Ybarra.

There are many solares in Biscay, Guipúzcoa, Alava and Navarrese with reference to this lineage that one cannot point out the cradle of this last name. Don Carlos de Ybarra Barreri, admiral of the sea Oceano, was created Marquis of Taracena on August 17th, 1638. Don Juan Antonio de Ibarra y Ubilla, knight of Santiago, was created Viscount of Santo Domingo de Ybarra on September 11th, 1690. Don Fernando de Ybarra y de la Revilla was created Marquis of Arriluce de Ybarra on May 23rd, 1918.
Its Arms: In silver field a sinople olive tree with its open branches and in the center a flat cross of gules with sinople thorns above it.

Good afternoon, today I have for you the family crest of the last name Manrique. Mr. Pablo Andrés Manriquez Galvao, requested the shield of the last name MANRIQUEZ, in the  Spanish Nobiliary I found the last name Manrique, without the “Z”, and it is not specific about it being the same in two forms. Eventually I found in a source of Anglo-Saxon heraldry, the statement that they are the same last name. I took more time since I wanted to verify such statement.

Derived Castilian last name of the name Manrique. The trunk of this lineage seems to be in Toba of Valdivielso, in the county of Burgos. Another house was located in Salamanca, and another in the Villa of Benavente and one more in Tarazona. This last name proved its nobility in Santiago’s Order and San Juan de Jerusalem Order. Don José Manrique de Arana was created Marquis of Villa Alegre de Andollo on December 7, 1685; don Nicolás Manrique de Lara, became Marquis of Lara on December 10,1739, and don Jerónimo Manrique de Lara, became Count of Almudez de Toledo on February 23, 1790.
Its Arms: In gules field, two boilers jaqueladas of gold and sable, on a column, with four sinople serpents, sticking out of each side of the handles, two towards inside and two towards out. Motto “US NON OF KING, KINGS COME FROM US.”

Good evening, today I have for you the family crest of the last name Leturiondo.
Last name of guipuzcoanas roots, a word that means “next to the house” in Castilian. This house had illustrious lineages in Sumárraga and Azcoitia, where their members were always considered as noblemen. Several of this lineage passed to America, at the end of the XVII century, settling down in Mexico. To have an idea of the nobility of this last name that extended very little for Spain and being limited to their places of origin, one should know that their members figured numerous times as General Deputies of Guipúzcoa, their solar houses were in the villages of Deva, Guetaría, Sara, Vergara, Mondragón, Elgoibar and Villafranca, at the end of the XVII century.

Its Arms: In field of gold, a sinople tree and two sable bears, pasantes to the foot of the trunk.

The Real Tribunal of Navarrese recognized on 1766 the nobility of don Pedro Fermín de Bayona y Eguía, neighbor of Aoíz.
