Any NM Delgados have insight into this? I have just put what I know in response to Loni Beers under the Marcos Delgado entry. I can add that my Brazilian colleague has a friend who is a Brazilian specialist on this and says that in Brazil Delgado is a typical Sephardic name. I have not been able to trace the NM Delgados back further than 1725 in Pachuca, Mexico. I'm pretty sure that Manuel Francisco's father Antonio de Molina Delgado married his wife in Pachuca since there were so many de Chavarrias and Butron's there at the time. By the way de Molina can also be a Sephardic name and would indicate say Delgados from the town of Molina de Aragon, which had a Juderia, or that when they were Delgados sponsored by the Molina family when they converted to Catholicism. The de Molinas were a very classy noble family with royalty. Then we could really be de Molinas and Delgado could have been Antonio's mom's name, since a lot of times in those days people seemed to prefer to go by their mom's name. As I mention below, we have locks of hair of 19th century Delgado women that could be DNA tested, though I expect that this is expensive.
