Tapia Family Crest
Hello, today we have the family crest of the last name Tapia, as you may have noticed, today I am posting earlier than usual, since my son Gustavo, his wife and my grandson’s “el bandido” are eating dinner with us (rico pollo en escabeche prepared by my daughter) They threaten to stay the rest of the day (good). Here is the family crest.
It is a very old last name that extended along the Peninsula, passing into America.
Among the conquistadores of Mexico, don Andrés de Tapia appears as the partner of Hernán Cortés, since he was of noble family, he was caballerizo of Colón. He previously was in the island of Cuba and then moved to Mexico, where he became part of Hernán Cortés’ expedition . Another conqueror was don Cristóbal de Tapia who arrived in America on 1522, as a captain. He participated in numerous warlike actions earning him the position of Extraordinary Receiver of the Real Audience. On October 4th of 1623, King Don Felipe IV granted the title of Count of Vastameroli to don Francisco Tapia y Leiva who was already Count of the Vasto.
Its Arms: In silver three strips of azure, gules bordure, with seven crosses of gold.

Hi, Cryss! I’m Tapia too according to my mum’s family. My Grandad was Tomas Tapia born in Lesaka (Navarre, Spain). All of our ancestors have been located in Lesaka ( Navarre, Spain ) for at least the last 800 years. Sure it is interesting to you.
My wife is a descendant (Great Grand Niece) of Alejandro Tapia Rivera) of Puerto Rico. Question is which one of these distinguished explorers is part of her ancestestry?
how are you ?? i gota big news fro you guys !!!!! My grant,grand mother is a !!DIERCTE DESCENDENT!!! of Andres Tapia,so that make me his , grant grant grant son right? i currently live in Canton GA. U.S.A., but my grant grand mother’s famili still live in the same place ever since Andres Tapia lived, He conquer the town of Malinalco Mexico, 2hr drive southeast ot Mexico City.He conquer malinalco in 1522, under the orders of Henan Cortez,latter on he move to a near by city, name Tenancingo, just 10min east from malinalco, as far as i know, Andres Tapia had very few descendents in Mexico, so i guess that kind of, makes me a direct-sort of, descendent of Andres Tapia And the Tapia family back in Spain, if you have any quiestions, about me or the reste of the true Tapia family in Malinalco Mexico , feel free to write me back thank you .
hi there. i am a tapia from the philippines.
Torres Crespo,
Sometimes it is hard to tell your true origins. Many of our visitors have engaged in serious research endeavors in order to figure out theory origins. My recommendation is to talk to the elders of your clan or family. They do have more information than you and this should help. Another tip is to invite as many people with the same last name to our site in order to share their ancestry information and eventually you will be able connect the dots.
Hi My family is the Tapia family from Curimeo Michoacan Mexico My family is very big and my ancestors left a lot of History behind. Like being president four times during the time of the revolution. From what I hear my Grandpa Ucevio Tapia regulated the bandits who would still cattle, rape and even kill innocent people. This happen in the small town of Curimeo Michoacan Mexico and is very interesting where our last name comes from. It seems like the Tapia’s have something for the military or the arm forces just like our ancestors from Spain did, that is interesting I will continue to keep track of this website to see how many Tapias’ I meet.
Hey Sammy ,my grandfather (Augustine Tapia 1908-2001)was from the same town. He had to leave after a big fued that his father was killed in around 1924. I am 1 of 35 grandchildren and part of more than a hundred of his descendants that stretch across California. I wonder if we have a possible relation

My Grandma used to tell us the story of two brothers Jesus Tapia and Francisco Tapia who came from Spain they both where married before they moved to Sahuaripa Sonora Mexico they both had kids and engaged them since they where kids, when older they married so my grandma and my granddad where cousins Nicolas Tapia and Genoveva Tapia therefore my Dad and all his sisters are named Tapia Tapia. She said that his parent did not want the family to mix with native Mexican. I would like to someday find more information about my family tree specially since our anscestor must be very close to spain, but I don’t know which provice in spain they where from.
