Origin of Aparicio

Lineage of hijosdalgo. It had its primitive site in the place of Barruelos, of the municipality of the valley of Ruesga and judicial district of Ramales, in the province of Santander. Illustrious branches of that land passed to León, Salamanca, Toledo, Almagro, Murcia, Aragón, Catalonia, Valencia, Andalusia, Extremadura and America.

A branch of those from Valencia went to Havana in the person of Miguel de Aparicio y Marín, who was issued a certificate of coats of arms and nobility by the Chronicler Juan Alfonso de Guerra on November 5, 1734.

From the León branch were Jerónimo, Melchor, Baltasar, Manuel, Gaspar and José Aparicio, brothers. Melchor married Juana López, and they were the parents of Juan Aparicio, Jerónimo Aparicio and Jerónima Aparicio. She is she married Juan López Albuín y Aparicio, living in Madrid. Before the Justices of the town and Court and of Alcalá de Henares they made information of nobility for his son Juan Aparicio on August 21, 1667. From said Melchor also proceeded the line of Aparicio who made a seat in Havana (Cuba), and of the one that was Miguel Aparicio, a resident of said capital, which we will mention again later, and his first cousin Esteban Aparicio, who proved his nobility to enter the Order of Santiago. The following individuals who gained nobility before the Royal Chancery of Valladolid, in the years indicated, also belonged to the León branch: Juan de Aparicio Navarro González, a native of Berlanga del Bierzo and a resident of Fresno, in 1687; Francisco Aparicio Navarro y Núñez, a native of Azadón (León) and resident of Quintanilla de Sollamas (León), in 1784.
