According to this information, the first person to carry this surname was Mart�n S�nchez Ram�rez de la Piscina, son of Sancho Ram�rez, grandson of the Infante D. Ramiro S�nchez, married to Elvira, the daughter of the Cid, who inherited the Campo de Puelles, changing his name to that of Mart�n de Puelles. His descendants spread out throughout the Spanish peninsula (conquerors of Baeza), Canarias, Asturias, Galicia and America, in particular Per�. Puelles is found in the kingdom of Navarra. You can find more details at that website, where the PUELLES coat of arms is also described:http://ciudadfutura.net/apellidos/origen2/PUELLES.htm My husband's ancestors are PULL�S, but I am not sure if these two surnames have a common origin. I believe PULL�S probably has its origins in PUGLIESE, Italy. Where are your PUELLES ancestors from? I am very interested. I am sorry I could not translate this into French, as my knowledge of the language is very limited. Patricia Fuentes de Pull�s __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
