Criteria

In principle we look for all the ancestors of Rafael and Paz Heredia Sittig. Furthermore we attempt to make the fullest possible genealogy of the descendants of the great-great-grandparents of Jorge Heredia and Heleen Sittig. So far we have not reached even half of this goal and with many gaps. Difficulties in obtaining information may prove in many cases that this is beyond our power. However, in all cases we have recorded information to some extent.

In practical terms the starting point of a genealogy is determined by the arrival of the first ancestor to America or Holland, whatever appropriate to the case.

Whenever known we record the parents in-law of a spouse. Frequently many in-law related persons are linked to others in one or more of our researched families. We document these links as far as we know them, although we don't document the genealogies of these families even if we know them.

Exceptionally we have documented to some extent other families which are not directly related to us but have close ties to the point to be considered sentimental family, or in other cases we suspect there is a link we haven't found yet.

Occasionally we have extended somewhat in-law lines in a family to include some notorious persons of the local politics or culture, which somehow give a sense of closeness or distance of family history to the history of peoples.

A special case is the link with
Máxima Zorreguieta,
which although very real falls beyond these criteria. We have taken it as an example of the twists of life, as how two very normal people descending from the same stem end up in a country far away from where they were born, but one of them gets linked to the highest circles of European nobility nowadays.
Interestingly there is also a far more distant relationship with
Willem Alexander.

If history is made of many versions, on the other hand nothing is what it seems to be. History is one of the many versions of herself. Some of these versions are barely separated from fiction just by some meager documentation, which in turn is liable to interpretation. This genealogy contains for sure many errors and omissions that deserve duly correction. Our future findings will set the pace for newer updates of this site presenting our newest version of history. We have decided to publish this genealogy because we think that even the most sketchy version of history is a starting point to begin understanding each other.

This website is a compilation of data from many different sources. In any case we would have never been able to gather so much information in relatively so little time without the ubiquitous assistance of the internet. We are in debt to the many people whose research we have access through this medium.

The information about the Peruvian branches is partly based on oral testinonies of the elderly relatives still living. Often the lineages are no more that a long list of names interconnected to one another withouth any reference to the time or place where they lived.

Some valuable data have been personally gatheres the
Archivo Arzobispal de Lima,
the archive of the
Beneficencia Pública de Lima,
and the archive of the
Instituto de Estudios Histórico Marítimos del Perú,
the library of the
Instituto Peruano de Investigaciones Genealógicas,
and in a visit to the cemetery
"El Carmen"
in Chiclayo.

We have also gathered and crosschecked information from several databases of Peruvian institutions and public records offices.

We found some very useful data on the Peruvian branch in the websites of
Family Search and
GeneaNet.
Within the latter it deserves a special mention the page of
Francisco Javier Carbone Montes.
We also thank to
Luis Jean Pierre Lemonnier
for his data on the family Astengo, to
Raúl Antonio Alvistur Trigo
for his punctual data, and
César Augusto Mariátegui Gamero
for his data on the family Mariategui.
The database of
Mercedes Sardá Rospigliosi
has been particularly useful for the ancestors of our family of Arequipa,
and the database of
Edouard Thureau of Boulogne Billancourt,
for data on the family Larco.
We appreciate also the help of
Carlos Alberto Espantoso Neyra
who generously shared valuable historical documents not easily accessible.
The "Diccionario de Familias Arequipeñas" by Alberto Rosas Siles has been a generous source of data to document our family there.
Felipe Voysest Zöllner,
member of the
IPIG,
has provided valuable help to document the Magill family linked to Villacampa, and
Paul Diez Canseco
provided insights on the Fernández Cornejo family of Arequipa.
The data on the Osterling family which is linked to Garcia come from
Jorge P. Osterling Alvarez Calderón
of Virginia.
Information on families Larrabure and Garcia Sayán comes from the
database
of
Ximena García Sayán Roca.
For some of the Argentine families we relied to some extent on the databases in GeneaNet
of
Marcos Juan Belgrano Lagache,
Juan Bautista García Posse
,
Ernesto Álvarez Uriondo
, and
Estela Julia Martellotta
, ,
and a genealogy of Daniel MacKinlay by
María A. Calvo,
and also the website
Alfonso M. Beccar Varela Ibarguren.
Moreover the data of the genealogy of
Máxima Zorreguieta
have been published by the
Instituto Argentino de Ciencias Genealógicas.

The core for the genealogy of the García is based on two genealogies published in
"Apuntes sobre cien familias establecidas en el Perú: Archivo Luis Lasarte Ferreyros",
Juan Miranda Costa, ed.
The same source has provided in a lesser or greater degree data on many other Peruvian families.
We have corroborated much of their information with the genealogy website of the
Biblioteca Nacional del Perú.
"Descendientes de Luisa Paz Soldán de Moreyra", by
Aurelio Palacios Moreyra and
María Luisa Palacios McBride,
has provided us with data on this branch of the family Villacampa. We thank
María Carmela Rosselló Puga and
Juan José Ballén Palacios, of Lima,
for their kindness in giving us this publication.

The genealogy of the family Ugarte is based on an article by
Alberto Rosas Siles
published in the
Revista del Instituto Peruano de Investigaciones Genealógicas, No.8, December 1955. .
We have been able to corroborate the oldest documented data by Rosas Siles on the website of the
Archivo Eclesiástico de Biskaia.
Eduardo Faig Ugarte of Madrid
introduced us to a branch of the family Ugarte that took a different path than the Peruvian and settled in Uruguay. He also put us on track to locate a valuable expediente in the Archivo Histórico Nacional in Madrid with important information about the family.
After that we have located another expediente in the Archivo de la Casa de Juntas de Gernika that has provided information to extend this genealogy several generations.
Thanks to
Victor Cano
in Mexico we discovered the
"Istoria e bienandanças of fortunes" by Lope Garcia de Salazar,
an impressive medieval text which addresses several families in Vizcaya. In the future it should serve to elucidate some of the earliest ancestors of the family reaching as far as the semi-legendary origin of the Ugarte lineage .
The family Rotaeche which is very early linked to Ugarte in Vizcaya has been documented by data from the website of
Luis Gortázar Rotaeche.
Similarly we have found valuable documents in the
Fichero Bibliográfico Aragonés de la Biblioteca de Aragón
with information about the family Villacampa, which we expect sometime will be linked to the family in Peru.

The development of the genealogy of the Barton family has had the invaluable help of
Jeannie Barton of Sao Paulo and
Cathy Murray of Mount Pleasant.
We also acknoledge the great colaboration of
Rolly Barton of Lima,
with a special mention to the recovery he did an of extensive annotated family tree of
Consuelo Barton Hinojosa,
which most likely was a realization of
Leopoldo Barton Thompson
in the 1940's.
The website of
Jeremy Howat,
British Settlers in Argentina, studies in 19th and 20th century emigration,
has been an amazing source of information about the presence of the Barton and other English families in Buenos Aires.
Also the
"Diccionario de Británicos en Buenos Aires (Primera Época)" by
Maxine Hanon
has provided a substantial amount of data.
Neil Hampshire of
Brits in South America Database
has kindly shared information corroborating some pieces of information.
We owe the link of the family Shoobridge to Barton to
Peter Ryan of Australia, and to
María Renée Rodriguez of Buenos Aires.
Most of the family data of the family Shoobridge comes from the websites of
Gonzalo Shoobridge of Bradford, and
Liz Hardie of Australia.
We also had the friendly assistance of
Diego Shoobridge of Lima,
Carol Shoobridge of Buenos Aires and
Leslie Shoobridge of Santa Fe.
As for the Thompson family which is linked to Barton of Peru, a key contribution has been the enormous work done by
Miguel Turner
which we received thanks to the kind cooperation of
Silvia Turner of Buenos Aires.
We can not forget the friendly contribution of
Tony Pullon of Sao Paulo.
Thanks to the generous help of
Estela Magaldi of Córdoba
we have been able to preserve the visual memory of this branch of the family, especially in the photographic work of
John Cleland;
we have also counted with the assistance of
Mónica Scassa Harari of Barcelona, and
Gladys Greppi Bellocq of Buenos Aires,and
Lucio and Dolores Díaz Greppi of Madrid.
We are also grateful to
Macarena Elkin Moreno of Córdoba,
Rosalie Earnshaw
of Magdalena,
Laura Isingrini
of Buenos Aires, and
Christine Hancock of England,
Vivian Hancock of Denmark,
Mariana Sierra of Barcelona,
Carole Rhoades Hancock,
Marcelo Faletty Mignaberrigaray, and
Juan Pinasco.
A branch of the Faletty family, which is linked to Thompson, has been documented by the website of
Jorge Romero Day of Buenos Aires,
and thanks to the personal contribution of
Estela Faletty Romero Day of Mendoza.
Information on some Irish families in Argentina that are close to the Thompson was found on the website
Irishgenealogy.
The data on the Lound family, a branch of the Rowe, have been enriched by the valuable contribution of
Liliana Lound of Gualeguaychú, and
Graciela Pérez in Comodoro Rivadavia.
Graciela Bender Ackerley of Resistencia Chaco
has friendly helped with a branch of the family Towers of Uruguay.

We have been able to improve and expand the data by our own research, and also thanks to the generous help of many family members. Sometimes someone has come with a branch unknown to us, and other times we have been enlightened by a whole new picture of the some part of the family. There has been case in which valuable documents have been shared with us. Whatever the extent of their collaboration all equally deserve our gratitude. First, it is important to note the oral testimonies received from
Inés Ugarte García of Lima,
Chela Heredia Espinal
of Cajamarca,
Manuela Heredia Calderón of Lima,
Azucena Gracey Quintana
, Andrés Quintana Bravo y Héctor Estevez Bravo of Chepén;

The website
Thematis Erfgoed Portaal,
which offers the data of many archives in the Netherlands has been a basic tool for research,
and as a genealogical search motor the website
Genlias
has been very useful.
There is and increasing number of local archives offering new search tools their own available on the Internet and also some private groups that provide comprehensive information on a local place. Here follows some sites worth mentioning:

As invaluable resources we consider the websites of the
Center for Research on Dutch Jewry - Dutch Jewish Genealogical Data Base
, or Akevoth,
which hosts huge databases containing all kind of information on the subject,
and the site of the
Digital Monument to the Jewish Community in the Netherlands,
with information about Dutch Jews killed during World War II.
For certain parts of the family we have personally conducted research in the
Stadsarchief Amsterdam and in
Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie
in The Hague.
Also the wealth of information provided by
Levie Kanes
,
occasionally also the data of
Ben Noach
,
and more often that of
Max van Dam,
the three of them in Israel,
sometimes they have put us on track to confirm information or to join loose ends, and other times they have outlined whole branches in some families.

For the genealogy of the Beem family we have started with the data that
Louis Beem
gave us in the last years of his long life. If Louis had lived a few years longer he would have loved hearing that his family originated in Elburg in the mid 18th century. The personal and generous collaboration of
Benno Stoppelman of Graft-De Rijp, of
Fred Anhalt
of Ankeveen, of
Leo Beem
of Amsterdam, of
Jeannine Autier
of París, and of
Rosine and Christine Price of Morenci
Fred Anhalt in Ankeveen of
deserve a special mention, and also that of
Peggy Hirschhaut,
Marijke Beem,
Harold, Simone and Hans Beem.
For Beem family have been particularly useful the websites of
Streekarchivariaat Noordwest-Veluwe and
Regionaal Archief West-Brabant .
Rob Mayer and Nechamah Hirsch Mayer of Arnhem
have published records of burials in the cemetery Moskowa that have served us in several cases.

Reinier and Dirkje Bobbe,
and on information about the family Vecht the website
Stichting Families Vegt en Van der Vegt
has been an excellent reference.
From the website of
Cor Lutter

Gustav Beck of Gwynedd,
we found a branch of the family Beem that traversing the vicissitudes of 20th century history settled safely in Colombia.


To our dear uncle
Hugo (Ehud) Stibbe (1922-2007)
we owe the introduction to the genealogy of the family Stibbe many years ago when he gave us a few texts written in what was then a modern typewriter. Although now we handle many more data, what we do in a way is to continue what he did and also a kind of tribute to him and many others before him.
To a large extent the genealogies of the families Stibbe and Gokkes are based on the website of
David de la Penha of Amsterdam
corroborated with that of
Zvi Silver of London,
who also has extended the English and Irish branches.
Little by little we are crosschecking this large genealogy with primary sources, correcting and adding data.
Data on one of tht English branches of this family is corroborated by the website
Yossi Beck of Israel,
