The Pio Pico Foundation is proud to present the Pio Pico Genealogy Database. Data for this
project have been compiled from a variety of sources by several researchers.
The database includes hundreds of names and is a work in progress; updates
will be posted periodically that contain new or updated information.
Pio Pico’s family tree reads like a “Who’s Who” of prominent families of
California’s Spanish and Mexican eras (Pico, Carrillo, Verdugo, Cota,
Alvarado, Ortega, etc.). Many of these families, which originally traveled to
California as part of Missionary expeditions from Nueva Espana (New Spain),
settled together in California and married within other families from the same
social circles. This often resulted in numerous and complex relationships
between the families. In Pio Pico’s genealogy, we have included not only Pio
Pico’s direct lines of ancestry and descendancy, but lateral lines of
relations at each generational level. Information on very early generations is
often sparse and therefore limited, and information on current generations of
living relatives has been omitted for privacy reasons (individuals without
date of death listed in the database may also not be visible). Most of the
data presented includes individuals who lived between the early 1700s and late
1900s.
Within this PAF (Personal Ancestral File) format database, searches can be
done using the Surname Index or the Name Index. Many of the names listed are
shown with a single spelling even though multiple spelling variations are used
throughout history and within families (e.g. Gonzales and Gonzalez, Vastida
and Bastida, Leyva and Leyba, Albitre and Alvitre). The “Selected
Families/Individuals” link shows details about each family and contains links
to those individuals who have additional family information listed in the
database. Links are provided at the bottom of each page to return to the Table
of Contents page of the Pio Pico Genealogy Database, move forwards or
backwards within each section, or change to a different search view.
Please note that many data sources, including original records and official
documents, often contain misinformation or inaccuracies (e.g. incorrect dates,
spelling variations, transcription errors, etc). For this reason, genealogical
information presented here may contain some discrepancies. However, we have
made every attempt to present it as accurately as possible. Please feel free
to email us at
webmistress@piopico.org regarding any updates, comments, or
corrections on our data.
Happy Hunting!!
