Regional research · 16th–17th centuries
Follow families between Verín, Tamaguelos, Chaves and Ribadavia. Each reconstruction keeps its own sources and evidence: living in the same town or sharing a surname does not establish a family connection.
Open a tree to explore relationships, or read its evidence and qualifications. These are selected reconstructions, not a complete census of Verín.
The da Costa–Gomes, Álvarez and López–Acosta households reconstructed by Markus Schreiber, from Mirandela to Verín around 1580–1600. Includes André Lopes and Branca Rodrigues and the seven children of Luis López and Isabel da Costa.
João Lopes Cardoso, Isabel Lopes and their ten children born in Verín, with later residences reported by Ferreira.
João Gonçalves Manzilha and Maria de Salzedo, their three named sons and Ana de Miranda, wife of Francisco António.
The Santiago-born Maria de Sousa’s parents and related Sousa/do Vale couples; shared relatives reuse the existing process 4894 records.
Three generations named by a sixteen-year-old defendant in her genealogy session at Coimbra on 2 December 1681: grandparents from Vila Flor, parents and uncles in Verín, siblings in Chaves.
Isabel García of Tamaguelos, wife of the Requejo innkeeper and shoemaker Jorge Álvarez, appears aged thirty under the 1609–1610 relation heading in Veiga’s appendix. A Jorge Álvarez of Requejo aged thirty-nine appears under 1611 as a separate comparison.
The apothecary of Ribadavia, his wives Justa Rodríguez and Isabel Méndez, their sons, four further children named in an inheritance claim, and Justa’s family of Lamego. The likely reconstruction adds Xorxe and the older Gaspar as Felipe’s brothers, with Gaspar’s proposed household.
In 1564 Francisco Álvarez of Tamaguelos arranged an apprenticeship for his son Felipe with Antonio López de Guadalupe in Ourense. A secondary account of the 1608 auto names a sixty-year-old apothecary Felipe Álvarez born in Tamaguelos. Name, trade, origin and chronology support a possible identity; neither passage proves that the two men are the same person.
The next useful evidence would be an original later family declaration naming Felipe’s father. Francisco’s own parents remain unknown. The apprenticeship establishes no kinship with the Guadalupe family and no religious classification for Francisco or Felipe.
The term was five years and one month. The 36 ducats are conditional compensation: proportionate to time Felipe failed to serve, and, conversely, payable annually by the master for delay after the term until Felipe was taught and examined. They are not a stated annual tuition fee. The father supplies specified clothing and examination/title charges; the master provides maintenance and other clothing.
Checked against the published excerpt, printed pp. 363–364 (PDF pp. 353–354). Its ellipsis marks an omission; the original deed, AHDOURENSE PT12, ff. 407–408, has not been inspected here.

Compare the printed excerpt with Gómez Cid’s original deed of 7 November 1564, PT12, ff. 407–408, including the omitted passage.
Read the sourceLook for explicit parentage in the later proceedings. Similar names, occupations and compatible ages support a comparison, not a merge.
Check processes 8107 and 9408, then resolve Ana Manuela’s 4267/4260 reference. Keep the 1679–1682 residences separate from the children’s Verín birthplaces.
A published transcription of Olinda de Lugo’s 1599 will already supplies a Tamaguelos–Verín context. The original remains to be checked; the differing archival references and the two Juan Salgados must stay distinct.
Read the sourceThe scholarly articles and published transcriptions are evidence for what their authors report. They do not replace inspection of the originals. New Christian classifications are attributed to particular sources; they do not extend automatically to spouses, neighbours or everyone in a tree.
Ferreira’s revised count of 32 concerns a broader group associated with Chaves between 1580 and 1640. It is not a count of Verín residents or households. Bayonne and Saint-Esprit in this research are in France.
