Sample text

It is also obvious that the name Juan (Joan, Joanes, Juanes), in whatever form or spelling, was a family tradition among the Anzas of Hernani. Very few families had children without giving that name to least one of them. Sometimes, the name would skip a generation but would be picked up again with the grandchildren. In two hundred years of parish records there are only three instances of the name Juan Bautista, our subject and two of his distant cousins, one of whom died shortly after birth. However, the name Juan, or Juanes, with or without other middle names, is a common occurrence.

The oldest Juanes was actually Martín’s younger brother and, thus, an uncle to our Juanes. His first wife died and he possibly remarried, either once or twice. If he remarried twice, there were only two Juanes de Anzas in Hernani during this generation. If he remarried only once there were probably three. 89 Our Juanes de Anza did not get married until he was thirty-five years old. It is unknown what he was doing for a living at that time, but he was still living in the family home on Kale Nagusia.

The northwest wall is formed by another row of buildings that attach to the opposite corner of the church from the udaletxe. Between the two outer rows of buildings is another double row of stone structures that begin on the opposite side of the plaza from the udaletxe. Kale Nagusia, or “Main Street,” runs between the northwest facing houses in this center row and the houses of the outer northwest wall. Kale Kardaberaz, or “Kardaberaz Street,” lies between the center houses and those of the southeast wall.
