Gaspar Álvarez

Gaspar Albares, a cloth merchant aged 56, appears in the 1608 relation as a native of Tamagüellos and resident of “Fees”, a difficult place-name reading. Shown as Felipe’s likely brother in this reconstruction because of their shared birthplace and compatible ages; the relationship remains unproved. His parents are unlisted. He is distinct from Felipe’s twenty-year-old son Gaspar, the law student.

Gaspar, the 56-year-old merchant from Tamaguelos, is shown as Felipe’s likely brother in the proposed reconstruction. Shared birthplace and compatible ages support the hypothesis; no checked passage explicitly calls them brothers or names common parents.

Marcos Antonio Lopes Veiga, “A Inquisição e o Labirinto Marrano”: Cultura, Poder e Repressão na Galiza (sécs. XVI e XVII), master’s dissertation, Universidade de São Paulo, 2006. Appendix C, pp. 136–144, was visually checked. Its year headings date the relations, not necessarily individual events. Gaspar is on p. 137, María on p. 141 and Violante on p. 142. “Fees” is explicitly marked a difficult reading. The appendix gives no parents for the older Gaspar or sibling link to Felipe; the underlying manuscripts have not been inspected.
