Alice,
I have been trying to find someone with the Jaurigui name and was wondering if you might have a connection that I haven't found.

My father-in-law Henry Michael Ortega's father was Jose Manuel Jauriqui y Ortega Sanchez. He immigrated from Mexico City to New York in approximately 1933. He changed his name and used aliases but I was able to find his christening record from 30 August 1904 and says he was born 30 July 1904. In the Mexico, Distrito Federal, Parroquia de Santa Ana records. His father is listed as Crescencio Jauriqui y Ortega and his mother as Enriqueta Sanchez.

I was not able to find anything prior to them so I don't know if they come from somewhere other than Mexico City. Could Crescencio Jauriqui y Ortega come from your Jauriqui line that you are researching?

Thanks for any help.

That is superinteresting. My family name is Legaspi. My grandfather was Legaspi Jauregui. The Legazpi name came to Nochistlan in the early 1600s. When it first appeared in Tlaxcala w Miguel Lopez de Legazpi who was born in Zumarraga within the Province of Guipuzcoa. The reason Basques were active in the military and subsequent exploration of the world for imperial Spain was because of the iron works and ship building. I would like to know more about your work, Alice.

I think it is possible this family from Seville has a connection to the one mentioned on Nuestros Ranchos. Miguel Martinez de Jauregui was a Northerner from Najera, Logrono (his father from Vergara) who migrated to Seville in the sixteenth century to engage in trade with the New World. He made a fortune shipping iron to America, which was a typical activity of Basque merchants. He also owned a vessel in the carrera de Indias. The woman he married, Isabel Hurtado de la Sal, was the daughter of one of the richest converso businessmen in Seville (converso meaning the family had converted from Judaism to Catholicism). Typically, Old Christians and conversos did not mix, but if the families were wealthy and had business ties, they did.

The marriage record is at

There were many families with the surname Jáuregui. We shouldn't be jumping
to conclusions that it is the same family just because there is a surname
in common. There needs to be more substantial evidence.
