I have Ojea's in my family tree and I was wondering if this is a variation of Ojeda. I searched the Web but only found that Ojea is a Galician surname (gallego).

Indeed Ojea and Ojeda are different surnames. Ojea is Galician and Ojeda is Castilian. I think Ojea comes from "Eugenia" (Uxia in Galician), but I'm not absolutely sure.

Hi,

Old message but I'll try anyway, in case. We also have Ojea in our family tree. Say it's a variation of Ojeda, but I haven't found documentation of that. All I know about our Ojea branch is that they were in Naguabo, Puerto Rico in the mid-1810's. Also found an "Ogea" who died in Naguabo in 1855 but was born in Normandy, France. Don't know if these are related, but it's an interesting possibility. Have you learned anything more?
