This compilation is a finding aid to help document the islands and villages from which our Canarian ancestors came. The present work is a refinement and expansion of two earlier articles:
The scope of this article is limited, and it should NOT be taken as a complete listing of Canarian family names. In each of my earlier articles I began with the seven major islands of the Canarian archipelago, listing their particular towns and villages. Then, using the geographic data from the published sacramental records of the Diocese of Baton Rouge and from the Archdiocese of New Orleans, I assigned those family names to the respective islands and/or villages. In attributing a certain family name to a certain island or village, I have been very careful to provide at least one specific citation to that effect. Those books are cited as "BR 2" (1770-1803), "SRNO 3" (1772-1783), and "SRNO 4" (1784-1790) respectively (see References).
This compilation covers most of the settlement areas in Louisiana where the newly arrived Isleños established themselves: New Orleans, Barataria (in Jefferson Parish), Terre aux Boeufs (Tierra de Bueyes in St. Bernard Parish), Valenzuela (along Bayou La Fourche in Assumption and Ascension Parishes), and Galveztown (in Ascension Parish). The three source books for this report do not cover the area of New Iberia, where some Isleños may have settled in c.1779, along with the Malagueños from southern Spain. Consequently, that area is NOT addressed by this report.
A further note: In compiling these lists, I disregarded any entry from the published sacramental records that gave no specific geographic information other than the words "... of the Canary Islands". Consequently, this listing will NOT include all Canary Islands families who came to Louisiana. It lists ONLY those that have been specifically associated with any particular island, town or village.
The Canarian archepelago consists of two governmental provinces, La provincia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the west, and La provincia de Las Palmas in the east, each with its own governmental administration. The same division applies also to ecclastical administration, with the Western Islands' Diocese of San Cristobal de La Laguna (est. 1819), and the Eastern Islands' Diocese of the Canary Islands (est. 1406).

NB: There is also a "Santa Cruz de la Palma". Some of the names listed above may possibly be from the island of La Palma.
Saurel
Lopez (BR 2:242), Perez (BR 2:242).
Sauzal
Estevez (BR 2:278), Garcia (BR 2:278).

Aguilar (SRNO 3:2), De Guia [= see Perdomo De Guia], de la Cruz (BR 2:304, SRNO 4:139), De La Paz (SRNO 3:80), Del Christo (SRNO 4:79), Dominquez (BR 2:245), Fernandez de Mora (SRNO 3:80), De Gamez (SRNO 3:303), Garcia (BR 2:304, SRNO 4:139), Hernandez (BR 2:701), Menesa (SRNO 4:209), de Morales (BR 2:701), Perdomo De Guia (SRNO 4:79), Plasencia (BR 2:15), Truxillo (BR 2:709), Xerez (SRNO 3:303).

Village Gomera
Dominguez (BR 2:709), Truxillo (BR 2:709).

De Bores Corales (SRNO 3:75), De Paes (SRNO 4:234), Hernandez (SRNO 3:75), Ortega de Medina Zurit (SRNO 4:231), Patric[es?] (SRNO 4:231), Plazeres (SRNO 4:251).
NB: The names "Palma", "Palmas", "La Palma" and "Las Palmas" have great potential for confusion. This island is named "La Palma", and the major city of Gran Canaria is named "Las Palmas". For additional listings, the reader should consult the section for the Island of Gran Canaria.
The Town of Los Llanos
Rodriguez (SRNO 3:262; in the Louisiana records, simply called "Los Llanos in the Canaries", without any further elaboration as to its location).
Santa Cruz de La Palma
De Armas y Arsila (SRNO 3:74), De Salizar (SRNO 3:74).
In SRNO 3, the editor opines that these people are from Mallorca, but I am not convinced that he is correct.
NB: As above, the name "Santa Cruz" has a potential for confusion, since "Santa Cruz de Palma" is a city on the Island of La Palma, while "Santa Cruz de Tenerife" is a city on Tenerife. The reader should refer to the appropriate listings under the Tenerife section.
NB: No records seen from this island.

These 'unresolved locales' appear in the Louisiana records, but I have been unable to locate them on any map.
