I am looking for information on the Alvarez family.
Alvarez senior set up the Alvarez's Circus in 1857 and toured throuhgout Spain before taking the circus to South America in 1864.
After 2 years he left South America and landed in the Cape in 1866.
His son Joseph Desire was born Lisboa, 1854. Joseph became a trapezist, acrobat, horseman and clown. He took a full part in his fathers circus and in 1880 cut adrift and set out on his own. He chose South Africa and joined the Frank Fillis’s famous circus.

Need info on Joseph Alvarez. His 1 son Charles was my mothers father. She would like to get In touch with any family.

This is a long shot but I've been looking for a Charles Albert from the Azores for years.Is there any chance of a connection? I find him in Kern County,California in the 1940 census. He came to the U.S. with his sister, Barbara Albert. There is also a Charles Albert Jr? I knolw people somtimes change their names when in another country, that's why I called it a long shot.

Hi I've also been looking for info on Joseph Alvarez, I know he is related to me as well. My father is Arnold Maxwell Alvarez, my grandfather was Cedric Desire Alvarez and I can't remember what I was told beyond that. It would be great to find out the history.

Just spoke to myfather and he said that his grandfather was Vincent Desire Alvarez, last in the circus.
