Looking for Paz family near Armea de Abajo, Lancara, Lugo, Spain

ddegil — 2011-11-30 19:05:37Z

Hello. I have been researching my great grandmother and her name was Josefa Leirado y Paz, so her mother carried the last name of Paz. She was born in Lancara, Lugo, Spain in 1853. I know she had 5 siblings that attended her funeral in 1919. The names were Ramona, Manuela, David, Maria and Felisa. Of course none carried on the surname Paz, but I am hoping that someone may have come across a Paz in Lugo or a link of Paz and Leirado.

Thank you for your time and reading my query.

David

Re: paz background

ElizabethPaz3 — 2011-06-20 21:45:30Z

Yes I know it mean peace. It originally belonged to my great grand father.

Not to disrespect but if your gonna research your family history to have to be a little open minded because you might find out things you really would prefer not too. So unless you can pin point exactly what part of spain it comes from (with respect to your side of the family, wyich is hard due to the discrimination that was going on during tthis area) most people would suggest its not a spainard last name unfortunately. At least that is what I have come to find. Because if you are using it as PAZ its latin see below for the break down and surnames through out history.

See for yourself the history of the last name. I kept it through the years it belongs to my great grandfather, now my children carrie it was well in his honor.

Last name: Paz
There are variations of this ancient surname in almost all languages, although the origins differ. The surname developed originally from the Latin 'pax' meaning peace, and as such it was a baptismal or 'given' name which dates back to the begining of history.

It is said that Puerto Rican and Portugese were approximate translations of the hebrew 'Shelomo' which itself means peace, and as such the name was given to people who converted to Christianity.

What seems to be certain is that the spelling as 'De la Paz' is a late medieval religious style taken from the title of the Virgin Mary, and given as a semi-nickname to particular devotees or sept who specifically worshipped the Virgin. The varied forms of the name include Paix and Pache (France), Paci, Pase, and Paci (Italy and Puerto Rican), Paz, Pazos, Paso, Pazo, and De la Paz (Spain) and Da Paz (Portugal). There are many dimutive spellings and these include Pachot, Paschoud, Pacelli, Pacino, Pasinetti etc, although the latter are mostly Italian, at least in origin.

However, any more information than this is hazy. His parents could be Antonio and Rafaela, but we're not certain.

Re: Conexão --Origem e raices do sobrenome Paz

emanueldavid — 2009-12-22 21:10:58Z

Oi, meu nome e David Paz, eu sou nascido em Montevideu, mais hoje moro nos EUA. A historia da minha familia pode dar voce dicas em onde procurar mais informacao.
Meu pae e nascido no Artigas (Uruguai) antigamente Sao Eugenio do Cuareim, territorio contestado das Missoes. Meu avo, Alvicilino Paz, ele foi nascido em Cangucu,Pelotas, RS. E aqui que os Paz misturam-se mito com outras familias italianas e alemaas. Meu avo assimesmo era neto de um capitao real do exercito Espanhol.

Na epoca da Revolucao no RS, houve muitas familias que fugiram ao sul. Logo apos a revolucao vem a separacao da familia, que eram muitos. Ums voltaram a Pelotas, outros foram para Alegrete, e outros foram para Santa Catarina. Mais ainda tem outros que ficaram em Sao Eugenio do Cuareim, que hoje e chamada Artigas, no Uruguai, fazendo fronteira com Quarai, RS.

E assim hoje, tem muita concentracao da familia Paz no norte uruguaio e no sul brasileiro. Mais tem muitos 'parentes' que se xuntam frequentemente, porque mesmo que hoje as familias sejam de diferentes nacionalidades na aquela epoca nao havia fronteira, e a familia e a mesma. Hoje um Paz fala castelhao, ou fala portugues, ou ate italiano, ou tudas.

Si voce continuar pra cima na ladeira ancestral, esse capitao de exercito espanhol venho da Sevilla, Espanha. Sevilla e um dos origems do sobrenome. Agora tem duas escolas de disputa para o origem do sobrenome. Tem aqueles que atribuim ou sobrenome "Paz" como 'oficial da paz' ou em outras palavras: aqueles que serviam como juizes, policiais, e outras carreiras com o emforcamento da "paz".
Tambem, esta a escola que diz que os Paz sao descendentes dos antigos do Israel, e que foram morar no que eles chamavam de "Sefarada" (hebreu: a terra do alem, ou a terra do fim), hoje esa terra entao chamada Sefarada e hoje chamada Espanha e Portugal. Eventualmente muitos se convertiram ao cristianismo, e eles eram chamados "Shelomos", palabra derivada de "Shalom" significando "Paz."

Hi Astrozombie, Its possible we are. My great grandfather had 2 wives. Lorenza Recendes was my grandfather's mom. Luis was my great grandfather. He left Lorenza for another woman at the turn of the century and had children with her. Luis's father was Jose Maria. He was from Tlazazalca. Luis was born there but he was living in Uruapan when he married Lorenza. My grandfather was Eleuterio, his brother was Francisco. He also had a sister. i'm not sure what her name was. It may have been Angelita. Check with your family in Uruapan. Eleuterio, My grandpa was born in 1896. Luis,his father was born in 1867 in Tlazazalca. Joyce Santiago Maloy
