Don Juan Álvarez de Novoa
A separate regional reconstruction of the seven people named in the Xenealoxía.org article. Parentage and the two stated marriages are attributed to this secondary genealogy. The article does not cite a hidalguía proceeding. The year 1639 refers to Juan’s studies, not his birth. No connection to our personal Álvarez pedigree is assigned.

The article names Juán Álvarez as a parent of Juán Álvarez de Novoa.
The article names Catalina de Novoa as a parent of Juán Álvarez de Novoa.
The article names Sebastián Álvarez as a parent of Juán Álvarez.
The article names Benita Rodríguez de Araujo as a parent of Juán Álvarez.
The article names Francisco Novoa de Villamarín as a parent of Catalina de Novoa.
The article names Catalina de Salgado as a parent of Catalina de Novoa.
The article states that Sebastián Álvarez married Benita Rodríguez de Araujo.
The article states that Juán Álvarez married Catalina de Novoa.
The article places Juan Álvarez de Novoa at the Colegio de Fonseca in 1639 and describes him as a native of Razamonde, Cenlle (Ourense).
The Apelidos de Galicia index reproduces an ARG entry naming Juan Álvarez de Novoa, a collegian at the Mayor de Santiago, in litigation involving Juan de Quintana and Juan Vázquez de Groba. The name, college and date suggest the same Juan as the 1639 Fonseca entry. This is an identity hypothesis: the abstract names no parents, and the original case and its shelfmark have not been located.
The cathedral catalogue dates a donation by canon Eliseo de las Alas for Francisco de Novoa Villaramín, his relative, and Catalina de Vaamonde to 28 November 1591 (ACS P 108, fols. 355r–358r). Our pedigree instead names Catalina de Salgado. Whether these are different couples, different marriages or alternate surnames is unresolved. The catalogue metadata was checked through its indexed description; the four-folio manuscript was not read. This date is not assigned to our grandparents’ marriage.
The cathedral catalogue names Francisco de Novoa Villamarín, a student in Santiago and nephew of prior and canon Juan Vázquez de las Alas, concerning 36 cavaduras of vineyard at Bieite, tierra de Ribadavia (ACS P 152, fols. 264r–264v). This establishes a separate catalogue mention, not his identity with Juan’s grandfather or the 1591 groom. Indexed catalogue metadata only; manuscript unread.
The Maside catalogue lists a payment by licenciado Francisco de Novoa Villamarín y Vaamonde, abbot of San Tomé de Maside, on 2 June 1639 (ACS P 179.4, fols. 205v–206r). His relationship to the 1591 groom, the 1613 student and Juan’s grandfather is unknown. The catalogue listing was checked; the manuscript was not read.
Pérez Costanti’s published extract (printed p. 238) gives the 1581 collegian Eliseo de las Alas Villamarín as a son of Rosendo Salgado and Aldonza de Novoa. Aldonza’s parents are Alonso de Novoa and Teresa de las Alas; Alonso’s parents are Luis de Villamarín and Catalina Rodríguez; Teresa’s father is Suero de las Alas. These are Eliseo’s reported ancestors. No verified bridge identifies him with the 1591 donor or makes them Francisco’s ancestors.
The official USC archive-access page directs researchers to its holdings in Galiciana. The retrieval target is Juan Álvarez de Novoa, of Razamonde, Fonseca 1639, with parents Juan Álvarez and Catalina de Novoa. His individual file and shelfmark remain unlocated. The grandparents’ parents remain unknown; this access guide supplies no additional genealogy.
