I just recently found out my birth fathers name and am curious if there are any Cavazos on this board. His name is Reuben Noe Cavazos.

Thank you in advance,

Ronda K Long

Ronda Cavazos is not typically italian surname and you offer sul paltry information that a cursory check of Italy shows no one with that surname in that country. A check of the Ellis island records show only one Vincent Cavazo immigrating from Italy to the USA in 1896. Your move. Peter

There seems to be a contradictory evidence for the origin of the surname Cavazos. Go to www.home.att.nt/~ptrodriguez.ptrinform/cavazos1.htm. This site establishes Cavazos from Spain. Peter

The last link Peter posted - I have had bookmarked for some time. My birth fathers name is Reuben Noe Cavazos. I was adopted as an infant.

Most Cavazos in the US/Mexico share a common ancestor; one Captain Juan Cavazos from Spain. Some references state his parents were from Italy. Cavazos and some of its variations are Sephardic Jew. There are tons of Cavazos here in TX, I currently live @ Fort Hood Texas. Many have roots traced back to Spain and Italy and Greece.

I have found this link and perhaps there is some truth here: http://www.traceit.com/cgi-bin/history type in Cavazos, it comes back as Italian origin. Go one click further and it says Cavazos is in medieval records in Bergamo Italy. Though other sites report ancient Spain.

I merely posted out of curiosty because many sources say one thing and others say something else.

Hi Ronda, I've visited your link..in fact declares Bergamo..sure must be in time many ancient, when the Spanish came to reign in Italy, and perhaps, subsequently this last name is italianized.. dilemma..regards, suanj

suanj -

Thanks for taking a look. I am an avid history buff and I just find all of this so facinating. Dilemma, perhaps but it makes for interesting searches.
