Has hecho tu tarea bien! Mi abuelo, "Francisco Iduate Grau" nacio en 1889, hijo de Carlos Iduate Del Valle y Sofia Grau Pouble. I show on the tree my father drew (pardon for switching to english) that Sofia Grau Pouble is the daughter of Francisco Grau Cuervo and Octavia Pouble Rose. Francisco Grau Cuervo is the son of Francisco Grau Deu & Teresa Cuervo Gomez. Octavia Pouble Rose is the daughter of Agustin Pouble Lapacrie & Josefa D. Rose. Carlos Iduate del Valle is the son of Pedro Iduate Petit and Monserrate Del Valle Daumi. Pedro Iduate Petit is the son of Evaristo Iduate Gurrendiay and Teresa Petit Rodain. Evaristo Iduate Gurendiay is the son of Luis Iduate and Teresa Gurrendiay that puts us back to approx. 1790 around when Luis was born. That's as far back as I have on my dad's side other than that in Spain we can trace the name to an original basque village on the other side of the hill east of Pamplona called IDOATE. Bes! ides that, it should be relatively simple to link back to the future from the 1390 date listed in the king's tax rolls to the half page of Idoate's in the phone book, and given that one of the oficial "archiveros de la ciudad de Pamplona" was named Don Florencio Idoate. My grandfather, Franciso Iduate Grau married Emerenciana Andux y Guell. They had 5 children Carlos Miguel Iduate Andux, Gonzalo Iduate Andux, Fermin Iduate Andux (my father), Juan Iduate Andux, and Francisco Iduate Andux. I don't know too much about my grandfather's brother, Carlos Iduate Grau. I have my mother's tree back to 1510 in Guipuzcoa (San Sebastian area of Spain) for Mendiola. Hope this helps. I live in Miami, Florida, where are you? Saludos, FermÃn
