Thanks!

Bartolomé Castañer had a previous wife, Angelina Frau (Montalvo) b: Abt: 1902 in Utuado, PR d: 1926 in Utuado. (I will have to visit Jayuya and Utuado to find documents that confirm this, but this line leads to me, so it must be true).

They had two children:

María Magdalena Castañer (Frau) b: 1925 Jayuya, PR d: 2001 Eufala, Barbour AL

Miguel Ángel Castañer (Frau) b:1926 Jayuya, PR d:1979 Jayuya, PR

If you could share some information about the parents of Castañer-Castañer I would appreciate it a lot.

I have more information on the line for Miguel Castañer-Castañer up to the present time. Currently started to work on the Castañer-Folch line, partly based on this message board.

Again, thanks.

Any names, dates, births, deaths, and marriages would be appreciated to add to my family history. If you want information that I have, I will share it with you.

BORRAS, Palma de Mallorca

2006-10-31 01:00:11Z

Miguel BORRAS was born 1824 in Palma, according to his marriage application in Barceloneta. A Borras family Bible says his parents were Juan Borras and Catalina OLIVER, but his marriage application says Miguel's mother was Prudencia LLOBERA. I would like to find church records in Palma for Miguel. My ultimate goal is to find his father's family to determine if 3 different Borras men who came to Pensacola, FL USA are related. Would appreciate any suggestions.

My family comes from Selva. Between Inca and Campanet. Would you know what the coast would be? or do you have a email address I can write to. Thank you so much for your reply. Joyous

Re: Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

2006-10-20 23:53:53Z

My father's family comes from the town of Soller. It has the advantage of being difficult to visit or leave and therefore searching can be successful without trying all the parishes of the island. I had an idea before hand what the names of certain ancestors were before I started. I was able to determine dates by deduction. But, if your ancestors come from, for example Palma, then searching becomes very difficult. Palma is a large city with many parrishes. Is your family from Soller? I may be able to help you if they are. My genealogist on the Island was ill so I did most of my own research (four trips - all enjoyable) to the island. She may be interested now in getting a new client. She's very good and while it seems expensive, for the work they do, it's very reasonable. She doesn't speak english however, but I assume you know castilian.

Re: Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

2006-10-20 11:55:03Z

Thank you for your reply. When you say hire a local genealogist-how do I find one in Selva? The records you have did you have dates and than you wrote to the church. My problem is I have no dates.

Re: Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

2006-10-19 17:26:14Z

I have since answered my own questions: "gd" is my incorrect reading of "go." It basically means the individual has passed away. "N" seems to be equivalent to "Unknown."

Re: Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

2006-10-19 17:20:26Z

Baptism, Marriage and death records for Mallorca are available at the Obispo of Palma near the Cathedral. I have many of these records from the towns of Soller and Fornalutx. For other parrishes/towns you will need to visit the Obispo yourself or hire a local genealogist (of which there are excellent ones).

Tuvieron al menos unos hilos que se llama a Barthélemy que emigró en Francia.

Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

2005-02-04 20:58:29Z

1. Does anyone know what "gd" after a father's name means in marriage records? 2. Does anyone know what the abbreviation that looks like an elegant "N" in front of woman's name means? No first name is given.

Nogerua surname in Balearics

2004-10-14 13:46:47Z

Hi

I'm from Gibraltar.

I'm tracking my familly and have managed to get as far as 1792 .

I am looking for :

Tomas Noguera Born,1792 , died 23/11/1867. He married Josefa Chacon, born 1786, died 16/1/1843.

I think Tomas may have remarried a woman called Rosa Raye.

They came from Isla de Leon, now San Fernando in Cadiz.

Tomas father was Andres Noguera, married to Pabla Patron.

I believe they may have come over from the Balearics.

Hi Glen, I am also looking for my Carreras family connection from Minorca. Here a some of the names I would like info on. Pedro Carreras married to Margarita Camps, Juan Carreras married to Maria Triay. I think they ended up in St. Agustine, Fl. My mother's father came from St. Agustine his name was Arthur Carrera, his father was Gregory Carreras, his father was Stephen Carreras. That is where I have hit a snag, I think Juan and Pedro are related but I don't know how. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Robyn

Looking for ancestors from Mahon

CarrerasGA — 2005-06-12 14:36:22Z

Looking for ancestors of Juan Carreras. He migrated (along with his brother Esteban) to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA during the middle 1800s. His father was Pedro Carreras and his mother was Magdalena Bagur. Pedro's parents were Jose Carreras and Maria Rosa Juncla (Juncal?). Magdalena's parents were Pedro Bagur and Magdalena Carreras. They lived in Mahon. Would appreciate any info that may help.

Re: Looking for ancestors from Mahon

CarrerasGA — 2005-06-12 14:36:22Z

Hi Robyn, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help to you as I have never been able to connect any of my family to the St. Augustine Minorcans. However, there seems to be quite a bit of documentation done on them. There is at least one book I know of "Mullet on the Beach", a Minorcan Society http://www.menorcansociety.net/ , and many, many websites. All of my Minorcan family came through New Orleans, LA and pretty much remained in that area. Recently, I have been in contact with the Arxiu Diocesà de Menorca and am awaiting delivery of some research they have competed for me which may open up some new possibilities but, at present, the information I provided in the original post is all that I really know. Good luck!

Re: Marriage documents on Mallorca 1650's

dxc3711 — 2007-01-11 14:05:34Z

Send me your ancestor's names thru this post or thru my alternate e-mail address Cass34@mail.com and I'll see if I have any information for you.

Soller records are located in Palma at the Bishopry (Obispo) and are available to foreigners.

Triay, Anna Maria Mahon, Minorca
Triay, Francisco Ciudadela, Minorca
Triay, Gabriel Ciudadela, Minorca
Triay, Juan (1) Mahon, Minorca
Triay, Juan (2) Ciudadela, Minorca

Joseph Foiles / Foil Port Mahon to Norfolk Co. VA

tmjones7_1 — 2006-09-02 05:13:51Z

I am researching Joseph FOILES / FOILS born c. 1802 in Port Mahon Menorca who emigrated to Norfolk County, Virginia (1850) Family members always recollected that "she" presumably Joseph's spouse was French (with dark eyes and hair) and "he" was Spanish (with very blonde hair and blue/green eyes.)
This appears consistent with the history of the Balearic Islands which flip flopped under English, Spanish and French occupation during the 18th and 19th century.
It is also rumoured that they may have emigrated through New Orleans or Charleston.
Any information on this family or the history of the Island would be greatly appreciated.

Francisco Dumetz (1734 - 1811) / Palma, Mallorca

5002xallax2005 — 2005-09-12 03:12:52Z

Currently seeking information on the family of Francisco Dumetz who was probably born on the Island of Mallorca in 1734. He received his ecclesiatical training in Palma with the Franciscan Order. He left for the Americas around 1769 and arrived in California in 1771. There he reamined until his death at San Gabriel mission in 1811. I would also be greatly interested in any information regarding French families on or migrating to Mallorca in the early 18th century. Thank you very much -- Jim Beardsley <laxjab2000@netscape.net>

Re: Francisco Dumetz (1731 - 1811) / Palma, Mallorca

5002xallax2005 — 2005-09-12 03:12:52Z

Further information developed since my initial posting reports Francisco Dumetz as being born in 1731. Also, his reported parents are Cil Francisco Dumetz and Maria Rosa Nieulon. Lastly, Francisco Dumetz was reported to be the nephew of Jose Nieulon, a counselor of France in the Balearic Islands. Any further details on this information would be greatly appreciated.

Domenech, Bibiloni, Cortes, Colom

rammid1 — 2005-02-18 23:46:44Z

Busco informacion sobre mis bisabuelos, Pablo Domenech Bibiloni casado con Monserrate Cortes. Ambos eran de Palma de Mallorca. Tuvieron varios hijos varones entre ellos mi abuelo, Jose Domenech Cortes. Esta familia era due~na de una compa~nia de exportacion. Pablo o Monserrate descendian de la familia Colom de Mallorca y nacieron a mediados del 1800s.
Es posible que uno de los hijos se llamase Antonio. Jose Domenech Cortes, mi abuelo immigro a Puerto Rico en el 1880.

Si alguien tiene genealogia de estos apellidos les agradeceria tuvieran la amabilidad de compartirla conmigo, por lo menos lo previo a 1800s. Estas familias descienden de familias muy antiguas cuyos ancestros ( varones ) entraron al servicio del Rey Don Jaume I de Aragon y pelearon durante la Reconquista de Mallorca.

Gracias anticipadas,
Miriam
