To all interested, The Ignacio Family originated in northen Spain (Basco's) and transfer sometime around the 1500's to the area of Alcantaras, mainly the Town of Caceres. Since then it expanded to Portugal and areas near the border with Portugal and Spain, From there it had some relative move to the Caribbean , mainly Puerto Rico and one that reach the Philippines as early as 17oo's.
The oldest Ignacio recorded in the caribbean was bury (sic) in the catatombs, of Iglesia San Agustin in Puert de Tierra, San Juan Puerto Rico sometime around the late 1600's to early 1700's.
There are records of some 2 or 3 cousings reaching as far as Mexico from Puerto Rico in the middle 1700's.
I'm trying to reach all Ignacio'S that think or knows that they might be decendants of the Ignacio's from Alcantaras. Those in general is one clan only and it is consider the largest clan of Ignacio's. We even have a supposed Viceroy in Brazil appointed by the King of Portugal.
