This document and others I recently found sheds a light on several controversial family tree recordings and seems to add to some challenging translations as well.
- Doña Dolores de la Cruz Anderson, daughter of Doña Josefa de la Cruz and Don Juan Anderson, married Don Felix Ramos Calvo (widower of Maria Olivares). In other Spanish records regarding the claims against the deceased Don Felix’s pension, it states that Dolores and Felix never had any children from their marriage.
- Felix Ramos Calvo is sometimes recorded in family trees and documents as Felix Calvo y Noriega, but this document (and others) states that his mother’s name was Josefa Ramos not Josepha de la Penas.
- In some family trees, including CHamoru Roots, Dolores dela Cruz Anderson is incorrectly recorded as marrying Don Felix Olivares Calvo, the son of Don Felix Calvo and Doña Maria Olivares.
- Don Juan Anderson, generally recorded as John Anderson, a Scot from Edinburgh, Scotland; however, in this document it states he is a native of “Amburgo en Escocia,” which would literally translate as “Hamburg, Scotland.” Ugh and smh…LOL
The database will be updated soon to correct several of these entries. It also changes how I am related to some of the Calvo clan through my Anderson lineage.
