The reasons to set up this web - site It was in 1977 when Mr Andrés Barrera, a sociologist of the Complutense University of Madrid contacted us. He was preparing a thesis related to the Heir System in Catalonia. This is why he offered to analyse a list of documents our ancestors had been gathering (purchase of lands, wills, wedding rights and duties, ...). As a result, a first genealogy was drafted. Years later, we further developed this study due to a request by the subject of History at high school. Later on, we have taken advantage (when possible) of our spare time to further develop the research by visiting historical archives, searching information on Internet or reading books and articles. As
a result we have over the years gathered valuable information that we
would like to share with you. Moreover, we would like that this web –
site serves as a tool to collect other available information so as to
take a step further towards the research of the origin of the surname
Orobitg. |
