OUR BASQUE FAMILY
CONNECTIONS; On
the Pacheco side of the family, there are numerous Basque Family
members/ancestors. There are presently three identified;
The Perea's
The Duran's
The Osorio's
The Duran's and the
Osorio's still need much further investigation and confirmation. But,
the Perea's, I
think you will find very interesting, as they are also directly linked
to the Romero family, thereby the
Pacheco family.
Starting backwards,
Ignacio Pacheco was the son of Jose Ruiz Pacheco and Carmen Maria
Romero. Carman Maria Romero was the daughter of Nicholas Romero.
Nicholas Romero married Maria Perea, to produce their daughter. Carmen
Maria Romero Perea, born in 1749 in Guevavi. Maria Perea was
born in 1713 in Nacosari, Maria Perea was the daughter of Juan Ignacio
Perea and Maria Ladron de Gebara.
Juan Ignacio Perea was
the son of Pedro Perea, and Maria Ibarra. Pedro Perea was the
military governor of the Janos.Nacosari area, after Juan Bautista De
Anza (the father of Juan Bautista De Anza, the explorer from Tubac)
was killed.
Pedro Perea born in
1637, was the son of Niculas Perea Sosa, born in 1588 and was the son
of Niculas Perea and Josepha Sosa. Niculas Perea was born in
Durango, Bizkaia, Spain.
Francisco Ibarra was
born in 1520, the son of Francisco Ibarra, born in 1500, both

He was the person that
lead the expeditions of the military for the conquests of what is now
Durango, Chihuahua and Sinaloa. He named the region Nueva Vizcaya. He
was sponsored by Diego Ibarra, his uncle, with the direct approval of
