The "Munoz" Family Story

For however long it has been told and written down in historical documentation form the days so far back as early as the 1400's of Mideveal times in Spain, the surname "Munoz" for which both my fathers family and my family has grasped its genealogical and also its immigrant roots from.

The surname of "Munoz" which has been traced all the way back to origins of the 15th century and maybe even earlier in the European country of Spain where the last name "Munoz" had been used for the very first time. Here in Spain was where my family's last name originated, but to be specific the "Munoz's" in Spain settled mostly near cities like La Coruna, Santiago, close to Barcelona in the northern part of Spain. Munoz in Spain isn't very common of a last name used since it is manily found in northern Spain. As i found in archives many Munoz family branches are found all over Latin America, U.S., and Spain because Munoz named ancestors started coming to the America's in the 1500's. One of the main reasons this has happened is because Munoz named conquistadores who were in the conquest of Central America and with the Pizarro Empire in the conquering of the Inca and Aztec Empire in the mid 1500's. With the research I was able to find, Munoz's started immigrating to Mexico in the Bourbon period of the Spanish monarchy, and continued well into the mid 1800's from Spain to Mexico as well as to other places. One Interesting fact that I did find to be very true was that my family is form Mexico City and in the research i found many Munoz's settled and are still setteled in Central Mexico mostly in San Luis Potosi to Mexico City and Veracruz. This information I found to be very accurate since I was born in Mexico City, Mexico and I can compare this information with thay of my fmaily origin.
Looking back at the history of my family's powerful and importnat last name, the only evidence that was left behind and has been passed down through the generations was the "Munoz" Family Crest of Spain and the written document which explains and defines significance of the 'Munoz" surname (top image). Unfortunately there are not any famous people that are related to me but what I can say is that there was one Spanish conquistador who was a  Munoz to have taken this last name. He went by the name of Gonzalo Munoz who arived in San Juan Island in 1511, he was a Spanish Conquistador set out with Pizarro in the Conquring of the America's.
