My family comes from Spain, specifically my grandfather, Pedro Alvarez y Salazar was born in Barcelona.My grandmother's side traces back to the 12th century to St. Dominic de Guzman, through relatives of Gaspar Guzman de Olivares count duker of Spain 1592.I would like to see if our Alvarez backgrounds are the same.However, it seems it is a very olkd name, and there are many many branches.One posting claims that there is a Sephardic origin.
