Valencia Family Crest

May 5, 2008 by El Heraldo

Good morning, today I will be posting earlier since I am going to eat lunch with my son and daughter at a veracruzano restaurant, the restaurant is an interesting place since it used to be as a garage… it seems that still is… during the day they use it for people to come and eat and then at night they park a car in there. Then we will drive across the border to do some shopping to Brownsville, Texas. As I promised yesterday, today I am posting the Valencia Family Crest, hoping this way to satisfy Mr. Vergara’s request.

This last name is of Castilian origin, from León. A branch passed to Indias.

Also served numerous times in the Chancillería of Valladolid.
Don Francisco de Valencia y Fernández of Castillo was created count of Casa Valencia on november 17, 1789.
