Si tienes antepasados vizcaínos y quieres conocerlos... tienes suerte!

En el Archivo Histórico Eclesiástico de Bizkaia custodiamos los fondos históricos de las parroquias de Bizkaia, excepto Orduña (e que puedes consultar en el Archivo Diocesano de Vitoria o en este de Bizkaia en soporte microfilm).

Consulta los formularios de registros de bautismos, matrimonios y defunciones extractados de los libros o el catálogo de cada parroquia, organizado por localidades, para ver hasta qué fecha tenemos documentación aquí, en Derio.

Aprovecha estos días y ven a investigar sobre tu familia. Te ayudaremos a encontrarlos o los buscaremos por tí ;-).

This is the family of my second great uncle, Ramon Nonato Uberuaga Gabiola and his wife Juana San Sebastian. Their three daughters were Micaela, Eustaquia, and Dominga. Ramon Nonato was raised in a household of basket makers in Arropain in a house called Txapel Zuri (near Lekeitio on the Madalena road). Micaela was married to Felix Arrinda and they had 2 children (at least) Maria Luisa and Ramon Arrinda Uberuaga. Eustaquia was married to Santiago Garay and they had two children - Gloria and Pascual Garay Uberuaga. Our family in the U.S. lost contact with them when my amuma Valentina Uberuaga Azcuenaga passed away. We would love to know if there are any living descendants in Euskal Herria. Does anyone know anything about them?

Hau da nire amumaren osabaren familia. Ramon Nonato Uberuaga Gabiola eta Juana San Sebastian. Hiru alaba zituzten: Micaela, Eustaquia eta Dominga. Arropainen bizi ziren. Micaela, Felix Arrindarekin ezkonduta zegoen ta bi ume zituzten - Maria Luisa eta Ramon Arrinda Uberuaga. Eustaquia, Santiago Garayekin ezkonduta zegoen ta bi ume zituzten - Gloria eta Pascual Garay Uberuaga Jakin nahi genuke gaur egun Euskal Herrian haien ondorengoak dauden. Norbaitek zeozer daki haiei buruz?

Eskerrik asko, Lisa Corcostegui

Now that the Leaburu chart has been officially presented we can publish photos of our latest commissioned chart! Our friend Ignacio Otegui researched the ancestry of all the families of his hometown, Leaburu, Gipuzkoa and commissioned us to design the huge chart that is now displayed at the Leaburuko Ostatua. One of the background photos features the church and a little boy and girl - they are now all grown up and pictured here with the chart :)
