If your Cornish ancestors lived in New Jersey, even for a short time, please contact me. I'm researching the Cornish in NJ and my data base has just topped 3,050 (not one Ugalde yet).
Please contact me at nheydt@monmouth.com

My name is Yamila Chacon Ugalde; and I am originally from Costa Rica. I am have been able to find information for about 20 generations on the Chacon family but not much for the Ugalde family. I am getting frustrated. If you find something about the Ugaldes would you please share that with me?

Thank you!

Hi Yamila,
I won't be able to be much help to you but I'll try. Write to me at nheydt@monmouth.com
"UGALDE [comes] From ughel - dyr: high land, upland. Found only in Liskeard area."
This is from "A Handbook of Cornish Surnames" by G. Pawley White. It means that Ugalde is from the Cornish language.
Were your Ugalde ancestors miners? That's what the Cornish are most famous for and the reason they migrated to places all over the world.
One of your best bets is to look on the Internet at the Cornwall Family History society site. They have over 5,000 active members and probably several are searching for Ugalde. Write to me directly and I'll suggest whatever else I can.

Ugalde is a Basque surname, from the province of Guipuzcoa of Spain. Contact University of Nevada, Reno for more info on Basques at ugalde@unr.edu
Who is your Ugalde ancestor, birth/death dates, places??

Dear Yamil,
My grandfather is Wenceslao Chacon, he was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. I have not been able to get far other than his siblings names and his parents. I got to meet my great grandfather... but, unfortunately I was a child myself of 9 years old. Please send me any information you might have. Also, I understand that there is some Jewish connection in respects to the last name Chacon.

Take care,
Marisa

It caught my eye that you are from Costa Rica. My grandmother Amelia Ugalde was from Costa Rica. I am not sure where she was born but, she lived in Punta Arenas. She has several children with Jose Jimenez Chan. Does this sound familiar to you? I would be interested in knowing more if you have any information. I never met her she died from comlications of Diabetes.
