Reference person

Felipe Álvarez

60 in 1608 · apothecary in Ribadavia

Likely brother

Xorxe (Jorge) Álvarez

44 in 1608 · resident of Ribadavia

Likely brother · older Gaspar

Gaspar Álvarez

The older cloth merchant is separate from Felipe’s son Gaspar, the twenty-year-old law student. Felipe’s son Gaspar

The sibling evidence

The published 1608 transcription mentions a brother of Felipe and a paternal uncle of Antonio Méndez, without naming them. These may be the same man or different brothers. Neither passage identifies Gaspar or Xorxe.

The tree shows Francisco and a wife whose name is unknown as proposed shared parents of Felipe, Gaspar and Xorxe. Their shared parentage remains unproved.

The older Gaspar’s likely household

Entries under 1608–1609

Named as Gaspar’s wife

Violante Díaz

40 · born in Lebução, Portugal

Named as Gaspar’s daughter

María Álvarez

19 · María’s mother is not named in these entries

The entries explicitly call Violante Gaspar’s wife and María his daughter. Identifying their Gaspar with the older merchant is likely from matching his name and their residence to the merchant’s entry. María’s mother is not named.

The place-name “Fees” is an uncertain transcription.

What would confirm these links

Gaspar’s fuller proceedings could name his parents or explicitly identify Felipe as his brother.

Claims & citations

Record claim

The 1608 transcription refers to a brother of Felipe without naming him. This supports the search for Felipe’s siblings but does not identify Gaspar or Xorxe. The passage is retained as evidence without creating an additional person.

Felipe Álvarez

Record claim

Antonio Méndez’s entry names an uncle who was his father’s brother. It does not name the uncle or prove that he was the same brother mentioned in Felipe’s entry.

Candidate

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.

Candidate

Xorxe (Jorge) Álvarez, aged 44, from Tamaguelos and resident in Ribadavia in 1608, is shown as Felipe’s likely brother in the proposed reconstruction. The relationship is inferred, not explicitly stated. His record stays separate from the later Requejo shoemaker’s entry.
