while i do not have details of individuals i can tell you that the Perales family name originates in the northern part of Spain around the city of Laredo, a fishing port on the Atlantic Ocean near the city of Stantander in the kingdom of Castile. I have been able to trace the lineage of our ancestors back to Don Ramiro I, king of Asturias and Leon. around the year 789. The Perales clan spread over the Iberian peninsula. Our first ancestors bearing the Perales name were from Castile but their offspring migrated throughout Spain and beyond. Many of these ended up in Peru. Juan Antonio Perales is considered the founder of the Perales lineage in said country. fyi, Juan Antonio was related to the Cuban hero Jose' Marti as his mother was the sister of Jose's grandgfather. The Perales family name was recognized and officially entered in the Royal Chancery of Valladolid in the year 1309. Let me know if i can assist in any other way.
Un abrazo,
Alonso
