  1. Such a beatiful area! I descend from Pedro de Bazan III; through the uncle of Alvaro de Bazan III 1st Marquez de Santa Cruz….. His son, Juan Andres de Bazan, was secretary to the Duke of Alburquerque and his son Alonso de Bazan went to Mexico he married the sister of the Governor of Cuba. Four generations of these Bazans were giving control of Teotechuan. In the late 1700s my ancestor Don Ygnacio Ricardo Bazan, a master weaver in Puebla & Mexico City, moved with his brother, two sons & servents to Santa Fe in the kingdom of Nuevo Mexico,, hired by the Viceroy to teach weaving to the young. This was in 1807. The same year he married the granddaughter of the «Sheep King» «the richest man in New Mexico. Today, my New Mexico ancestors include 8 of the original 12 founding families of Albuquerque, the founding fathers of Santa Fe, Corarales, Bernalillo and other cities. My grandfather, Joaquin A. Bazan II was a fifth generation New Mexico politician. He was also a horse rancher, a master craftsman and a private building conbtractor who built the first paved roads & trestle bridges in New Mexico. I hope to visit Spain and the Baztan Valley, someday soon.
