The following is an extract from Colombian publications on this subject, and does not only cover pure Basque families but as well families from adjacent provinces from the Spanish Kingdom.

Following families are considered nowadays "Antioqe\361an" or "Paisa", as typical from the department of Antioquia (Colombia). Note that close to a 100% of these families entered the territory of nowadays Colombia through the port of Cartagena de las Indias. In a seperate e-mail I will give you some info on families who did not travel further into Colombia, but stayed in Cartagena or closeby located coastal cities or townships.

1) CASTA�EDA
Ignacio de Casta�eda, born in Bilbao around 1645-1650, was the first of
this family to arrive in Antioquia.
He was the son of Juan de Casta�eda Isla (son of Sebasti�n de Casta�eda x
Ursula de Isla) x Mar�a Ortiz de Ugalde (daughter of Diego Ugalde de
Salazar y Lagarcha x Agustina de Escuza)

He married around 1675 in Santaf� de Antioquia Gertrudis de Atehort�a
(daughter of Antonio de Atehort�a x Francisca Zapata). Out of this
marriage:
1) Maria Javiera de Casta�eda x Antonio Londo�o
2) Ignacio de Casta�eda x Javiera Londo�o (sister of Antonio Londo�o)
3) Javier de Casta�eda

Ignacio de Casta�eda died before 1688, as his widow was then married with
Pedro del Mazo (see also family ATEHORT�A).
Further no info at hand on any descendants out of the marriage between
Ignacio de Casta�eda x Javiera Londo�o.

2) CHAVARRIAGA
Martin Chavarriaga, originally from Usurbil in Vizcaya, was the founder of
the Chavarriaga family in Antioquia.
There is no information available on his parents or grandparents.
He married in Medell�n on October 8th 1668 with Josefa Alvarez del Pino,
widow of Jos� Mej�a de Tobar.
