My Father's family on his father's side came from the Canary Islands in the late 1700s - Surname of Torres.We have no information on his mother's side other than they came from Germany - Surname of Stieb
I am currently trying to find information on my Mother's family, which we believe also came from the Canary Islands around the same time. Surnames - Rodriguez and Allimand (Allimond, Alleman - not sure of spelling, my Grandmother was not educated and could not spell, so any of the possible spellings could be correct). My Grandfather's parents were Frances Falcon and Pierre Rodriguez.
I have information on my Father's family going all the way back to Jose de Torres and Marie de Abreo coming over on the ship "La Santa Fas" in 1779. Any help on the Rodriguez's or Allimand's that came to Louisiana from the Canary Islands in the late 1700s would be a great help. If you would like the information I have on the Torres family, let me know.
