We would need more information to help you out. Fernandez is a very common Spanish name. Fernandez is not a Basque surname, so we would need Fernando's mother surname. Saludos. Jorge.

Gutierre Tibon en su "Diccionario Etimologico de Apellidos Españoles" identifica Marcaida, con "i" latina; "Vasco, marca, señal, frontera, camino de la señal, camino de la frontera (Michelena). En Aleman, Margraff, Markgraf, Marggraf." Es muy comun en epocas coloniales el uso comun o intercambio por escribanos de letras de similar pronunciacion; z/s, v/b, y/i, j/x, etc. En las paginas blancas telefonicas de España aparecen 338 abonados con el apellido Marcaida, 146 de ellos en la provincia de Vizcaya. En toda España solamente aparece un Marcayda, en Vizcaya. En los EEUU aparecen 21 Marcaida y 9 Marcayda, de estos ultimos seis estan en Miami. En Cuba aparecen 2 abonados con el apellido Marcaida; Manuel Cuesta Marcaida y Doris Marcaida Maya, ambos en Cienfuegos. Tambien en Cuba aparecen 2 Marcayda, en La Habana, Rodolfo Marcayda Aguero y en Camaguey Vladimir Marcayda Rodriguez. Saludos, Jorge Piñon

Surnames: Serigne (Cerenius), de St Germain,Rodriguez, Gonzales, Molero, Ruiz, LaPazza, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.families.aol.com/mbexec/msg/an/kRC.2ACE/600.495.2.1.3.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Wow! That was a very helpful reply. I had known that the change from Nunes to Nunez was due to religious persecution, trying to make the name sound more Spanish, but, as to most of the rest of the info, I was in ignorance. My husbands family didn't keep much in the way of records, and so many records were destroyed by fire & hurricanes. I do have rough dates for some though. Quite a number arrived in late 1778 and early 1779. Henri Christophe Cerenius (Serigne) arrived from France before 1819 because his son Louis Christophe Cerenius (Serigne) was born in 1819 in Assumption Parish. Pierre Joachim Rene De St Germain, b. 7/20/1741 in Rinnies, Bretagne, France, arrived before 1776 because his son Martial St. Germain was born in Louisiana in 1776 and Martial's mother, Marie Blanche Bergeron, was born about 1746 in St. Ann, Acadia. Santiago Rodriguez was born in 1781 in English Turn, St Bernard, Louisiana so his father, Antonio Valentin Rodriguez, born before 1764 Isle of Gomera, CI, had to be in St Bernard by 1781. Antonio Gonzales, born about 1753 Grand Canaria, CI, married about 1770 Grand Canaria, CI, had to be in Lousiana by about 1780 because son Felix Gonzales was born about 1778 English Turn, St Bernard, LA, and married 6/1/1803 St Louis Cath., New Orleans, LA. My Molero's started with Andre Luis Ravelo father of Andres Luis Ravelo Jeromine born & died in CI, father of Felipe Luis Molero, Born bef. 1682 Ycod de los Vines, Tenerife, CI, died same, father of Jose Luis Molero, CI, father of Christoval Luis Molero, CI, father of Bartheleme Molero, CI, father of Antonio Molero married 1818 St Louis Cath, New Orleans, LA. Simon Antoine Ruiz is a real puzzle, he just all of a sudden shows up on the census but no info before him. He was born bef. 1796, prob. 1793 (where?) and died 1815 in St. Bernard, LA, father of Joseph Leudadius Ruiz born 12/09/1813 St Bernard, LA,married 9/22/1837 St Bernard Church, St Bernard, LA, died between 1860-70. He may be the son of Joseph Gonzales Ruiz & Josefa Marit(Josepha Gonzales) son Bernardo,born abt. 1768 (most likely), or Domingo born abt. 1775. They arrived with their their parents and sister Barbara Ruiz in 1779 aboard the "La Santa Fas" from the Canary Islands. I am not sure where they settled at first, may not have been St Bernard, but one of the other settlements along the Mississippi. My La Pazza (La Parra) was born bef. 1745 La Yquero de Arazera, Extremadura, Spain and married Diego Gonzales same, same. Their son Sebastien (Sebastian) Gonzales was born Extremadura, Spain about 1760, married 4/10/1782 At Louis Cath, New Orleans, LA to Rita Antonia Gonzales Carbo, born abt. 1753 San Juan de la Rambla, (or Santa Cruz) Tenerife, CI. This is probably more info than you wanted but maybe something will ring a bell and we can connect. Mary

The names listed like Suarez (Soares)/ Portuguese, La Pazza/Italian, Robin/French and Rodriguez/Spanish are obvious ones. These peoples passed through the Canary Islands at various times for several reasons. The Portuguese and Spanish were in competition during early conquests (1440's to 1480's) AND the kingdoms were united for a brief time in the latter part of the 16th century. A substantial part of present day Italy was Spanish. A Frenchman (A Normand), Jean de Bethancourt, claimed the Canary Islands for Enrique III (King of Castille), who made him Lord of the islands (only Fuerteventura, El Hierro and La Gomera at the time). Since becoming the overlord he encouraged Nornan farmers to settle there. The Spanish, along with some of the other groups were there for new opportunities or to flee persecution such as the conversos. The converso's names were typically the names of th! e towns that they came from. Your names that end in es/ez/iz are typically patronomical (son of), as in Hernandez son of Hernan, Ruiz son of Ruy. The 'es' is an older Spanish form, currently ez. Which indicates that those arrived early on. So your Canary/Spanish cousins currently use ez. Portuguese use 'es' as well. So without a clear trail or another name attached to those names it'll be tough if not impossible to trace. Some names are from trades, for example a berger is a shepard (French), molero a miller (Spanish). Serigne a village in Vendee, Pays de la Loire (the Loire Valley). Robin is from northern France from Breton, Lorraine to the Loire (Saint Bonnet des Quarts). Good luck!

God bless everyone!!! I am simply overwhelmed at the response I have recieve from my inquiry on the Marti and Maceo families. I had no idea that that there was even a society for Marti-Maceo.You have really educated me in their personal life as well as their life in the spotlight.Being on this list has really been a blessing to me. My family name is Roudez or I have heard that it could have originally could have been Roudanez. I was trying to find if there was a connection between the Roudez and Maceo and Marti families. I had heard that the Roudez were related to General Antonio De La Caridad Maceo. And that Cesar Romero was a relative of the General Maceo also.I am truly amazed at all the info I have been given concerning these two families. I had heard that the Roudez family came from Spain then on to Cuba, where they were supposed to have either sugar cane or tobacco plantations or both. All of you have really whet my appetite to do more researching on the Marti and Maceo families even more. I am truly fascinated on all the information that all of you have shared with me. I want to learn even more about the Marti-Maceo Societies.Thank you all so much for your generosity in sharing your info with me. I am on another List in New Orleans, so any way I can help you,don't hesitate to let me know. In his Name, Diane

La cual menciono por largos a�os que estaban emparentados con Don Gabriel Beltr�n de Santa Cruz Conde de Jaruco y Do�a Antonia Aranda y Avellaneda. Encontr� el acta de nacimiento de Merced Eugenia Leopolda Santa Cruz Robles. Sus padres fueron: Manuel Ces�reo de Santa Cruz Ponce de Le�n y Dolores Robles Guti�rrez. Sus Abuelos Paternos: Jos� Eustaquio de Santa Cruz y Maria Josefa Ponce de Le�n Sus Abuelos Maternos: Manuel Robles e Isabel Guti�rrez Mis dudas son: En el acta de bautizo dice que el padre. Manuel Ces�reo Santa Cruz califico en habilidad para contraer matrimonio. Esto significa que no estaban casados todav�a? La ni�a se considera leg�tima? El cura que la bautiza es Jos� Cecilio de Santa Cruz hermano de Manuel Ces�reo Santa Cruz. Tambi�n se que Manuel Ces�reo estuvo casado con Antonia Maria Ramos y tuvieron dos hijos, Joaqu�n y Miguel Antonio En este enlace pueden leer el texto completo: http://www.geocities.com/lopez_carnicer/msc.jpg Juan Carlos Lopez Orlando .
