Modified Register Report Modified Register for Cristobal FALCON Sr. First Generation 1. Cristobal FALCON Sr. 1 was born 27 Feb 1721 in Los Llanos de Telde, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. He died 18 Mar 1806 in Los Llanos de Telde, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Records: It has been verified that Domingo Falcon was not Cristobal Jr and Gaspar's father. The records show Gaspar Melian. See the records at San Juan Bautista, Telde, Gran Canaria. BIOGRAPHY: Cristobal and his family lived in Los Llanos Jaraquemada. According to the history of Telde, the poorest of the city lived, however, in what was called "Los Llanos de Jaraquemada and Berebería" in the district of San Gregorio. The latter site was born in the shadow of the first, only to merge with them. The first inhabitants of St. Gregory were Moorish slaves captured on the African coast and brought for all kinds of activities: domestic, agricultural, etc.. The importance of this first population was noticeable for posterity in an intricate and chaotic network of streets and alleys, like the Muslim cities, which contrasts with the stately and organized neighborhood of San Juan and the neat, although irregular in layout to accommodate the relief, the district of San Francisco. Cristobal married Augustina MEXIAS 2 on 6 Mar 1743 in Los Llanos de Telde, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Augustina was born 1721. She died before 1806 in unknown location. They had the following children: + 2M i. Cristobal FALCON Jr. was born 14 Sep 1750 and died 6 Jul 1834. + 3M ii. Gaspar FALCON was born 29 May 1752 and was buried 24 Jul 1812. 4F iii.

Maria de la Candelaria FALCON 4 was born 5 3 Jan 1756 in Los Llanos, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. She died in unknown location. 6 M v. José Antonio FALCON was born 7 May 1758 in Los Llanos, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. He died in unknown location. Sources 1.

Cristobal FALCON Jr. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (Cristobal) was born 14 Sep 1750 9,10 in Los Llanos de Telde, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. He died11,12 6 Jul 1834 in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana and was buried 13,14 6 Jul 1834 in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Occupation: listed as "armed personnel" in the Infantry Regiment of Louisiana for the Port of New Orleans on the Spanish Frigate San Ignacia de Loyola Emigration: Since the late 1600s, Spain had encouraged the Canary Islanders to move to the Caribbean colonies. After Spain acquired Louisiana in 1762, it recognized the need to populate the territory. When the Revolutionary War brought the English in conflict with the American colonies, Spain recognized the danger from possible English hostilities in Louisiana. On August 15, 1777, Spain ordered a second battalion be formed in Louisiana. It looked to the Canary Islands for 700 recruits. It tried to get married recruits so that they could not only defend the area, but also populate it. [Din, p. 15] The recruits were required to be from 17 to 36 years old, healthy, without vices, and at least 5' 1/2" tall. Butchers, gypsies, mulattoes, and executioners were not permited to sign up. Though it wasn't in a written agreement, they understand that they were going to stay in Louisiana permanently. The recruits were to receive 45 reales upon signing up and 45 more upon arrival in New Orleans. They also got 1/2 peso a day while waiting to leave. People were also paid for finding these recruits; in fact, they were paid according to the height of the recruits. The payment was: 15 reales if at least 5' 1/2", 30 reales if at least 5' 2", and 45 reales if at least 5' 3". [Din, p. 16] Five of the island sent recruits to Louisiana: Tenerife (about 45%), Gran Canaria (almost 40%), Gomera, La Palma, and Lanzarote. The 700 recruits brought their families, bringing the total number of immigrants to 2,373. The following ships brought the Islenos to Louisiana Emigration: Santisimo Sacramento - 264 passengers - departed July 10, 1778 La Victoria - 292 passengers - departed October 22, 1778 San Ignacio de Loyola - 423 passengers - departed October 29, 1778 San Juan Nepomuceno - 202 passengers - departed December 9, 1778 Santa Faz - 406 passengers - departed February 17, 1779 El Sagrado Corazon de Jesus - 423 passengers - June 5, 1779 Emigration: Another ship with the last group of 100 recruits (and their families) were delayed because of the war between England and Spain. They had to stay over in Cuba for the duration, where a number of them died. They finally arrived in 1783 Emigration: Christobal Falcon arrived 15 January 1779 with his brother Gaspard Falcon at the Port of New Orleans from the Canary Islands, departed Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 29 October 1778. Christobal was granted land of three arpents frontage on the right bank of the Lafourche near Donaldsonville. By January 1, 1789, Christobal had 20 quarts of corn, 12 cattle, 4 horses, and 16 hogs. Cristobal and 27 Aug 2012 Modified Register for Cristobal FALCON Sr. Page 3 Gaspar are not brothers to Juan Suarez Falcon, who emigrated on a different ship. BIOGRAPHY: The Ascension parish records show that Christobal was over 100 years old when he died. This is been proven incorrect. See the records at San Juan Bautista, Telde, Gran Canaria. He had at least 2 slaves. CHRISTENING: Libro 21 de Bautismo ( Nov 1749-Dic 1754) nr 189, folio 37 vto. Cristóbal Falcon hijo de Cristóbal Falcon y de Agustina Mexias.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Michael McCormick Ryan Hayes Wilkinson The Last Horizons of Roman Gaul: Communication, Community, and Power at the End of Antiquity Abstract In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

  • Lesson 18 - the Situation in the West After the Fall of Rome
    Church History Lesson 18 - The Situation in the West After the Fall of Rome 1. Introduction - A Crumbling Empire 1.1. In the last session we looked at a number of Christological controversies which embroiled the church, and consequently the Empire, up until the council of Chalcedon in 451. 1.2. As we saw, these controversies involved both the East and the West, but there were of far greater concern in the East than in the West, and the majority of bishops attending the various councils were overwhelmingly from the East. 1.3. Although there were a number of reasons for this, one of the major reasons was the rapidly changing situation in the West. After Rome was sacked for the first time in 410 AD, it sent shockwaves through the whole empire, but especially in the West. Although the Eastern part of the Empire continued in one form or another for over 1,000 years more, the situation in the West was far different. 1.4. Today we will take a brief look at what happened in the West after the first sacking of Rome in 410, and see how this affected life and the church in the West for the next 300 years or so. 2. The Barbarian Invasions 2.1. The events that most affected life and the church in the West were a series of invasions by “barbarian” tribes. 2.2. Obviously the first major invasion was when Alaric and his band of Visigoths, who invaded Italy and sacked Rome in 410. It was the shockwaves from this event that caused Augustine to write his opus City of God.

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    A Saintly and Victorious Symbol Did you ever hear the story about Clovis and his wife, Clotilde? Well, it seems that Clotilde was upset that her husband was getting into fights all the time. So she prayed a long time that he would find religion. When her prayers were answered and Clovis was baptized, she suggested that he change his family crest by substituting irises for three crapauds, or toads. Frankish King Clovis with wife Clotilde, painting by Antoine-Jean Gros No, this isn’t the usual Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke that everyone has come to love. It is merely the beginning of a long series of origin stories for the fleur-de-lis, the enduring symbol of Bourbon France, Louisiana, the City of New Orleans and its beloved “Saints” football team (to name but a few). Actually the war-like King of the Salian Franks, Clovis (circa 466 - November 27, 511 A.D.), was married to the sainted Clotilde (who long prayed for his conversion). One origin tale has Clovis leading his army into battle, and (being in imminent danger of defeat) he presented himself to his Burgundian wife’s God and emerged victorious. According to Gregory of Tours, it was this victory at Tolbiac (circa 496) that led to Clovis’ baptism at Rheims by Saint Remigius, after which he had each of the three toads on his shield’s coat-of-arms replaced by the stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower and lis means lily), or iris. Before there were three petals on each lily, there were three toads.

  • The Frankish Empire the Germanic Tribe Known As the Franks
    The Frankish Empire The Germanic tribe known as the Franks established and ruled the Frankish Empire, in the ancient territory of Gaul (largely encompassing modern-day France and parts of modern-day Germany), from the fifth through the tenth century. Over the course of the empire’s history two familial dynasties, the Merovingian dynasty and the Carolingian dynasty, reigned over these territories. The Merovingian dynasty, under its founder King Clovis I, was responsible for uniting all of the Frankish kingdoms under one Crown. Clovis and the Merovingian dynasty expanded the presence and influence of the Franks throughout parts of Western and Central Europe. The power of the Merovingian dynasty waned by the end of the seventh century, and Pepin the Short, a member of the Carolingian family, became king in the middle of the eighth century. His ascendency to the throne launched the beginning of the Carolingian Empire. The Carolingian Empire ruled the Frankish realm until the end of the tenth century. It was one of the most powerful empires in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The modern state of France would evolve from the Frankish Empire and medieval Francia. The Franks and the Origins of the Frankish Empire The Franks were originally a Germanic tribe that invaded portions of Roman territory from the third to the fifth century. The Salian Franks emerged as a subgroup of the early Franks and were known for being particularly militaristic. They would also go on to spread Christianity throughout Western Europe. King Clovis (ca. 466–511) was the first Frankish king and was responsible for uniting the disparate Frankish tribes into one kingdom, called Francia.

  • Seemingly Unrelated Threads from Abraham to European Royalty
    Seemingly Unrelated Threads 1 The Larger Picture: The Intertwining of Seemingly Unre- lated Threads Back to Abraham When investigating ancient lineages and some lineages from the early Middle Ages, genealogists sometimes come across a line that someone has traced back to Abraham. All such lines are somewhat conjectural, and are based on various genealo- gies that have been taken from Biblical material or other ancient texts. While there are a number of “experts” who claim that these lines are purely mythical (and therefore unsatisfactory), I think we’ll find at some point that the lines are more accurate than previously thought. What is surprising is the number of different threads that exist from Abraham into Western Europe and the different paths they take. Several different threads are inter- twined in the Merovingian families of Francia. Two pass from Egypt through Ireland into either Wales or Scotland. A third line comes directly from the Exilarchs (the leaders of the Jewish community in exile after the Diaspora) in Babylon. This thread goes di- rectly into what is now southern France, where descendants married into the noble families of the region. In addition, I’ve shown lines (with two variants) from Abraham’s Islamic descendants that passes through Spain and into the nobility there and thence into the nobility of Europe. For the sake of (relative) brevity I have only listed a few lineages down to rela- tively) recognizable historic figures. Many combinations and permutations are possible. Some of the material presented here is based on Roderick Stuart’s book Royalty for Commoners.
