The Zavala name in Honduras
Hi,
I am a 5th generation Zavala from Honduras; it is 5th because this is as long as I know my family history in my country. My grandfather Porfirio Zavala who is 95 was the grandson of Francisco Zavala, Revolutionary General who fought against taxation by the priest call diezmos in the 1830´s and eventually was executed for what he believed. My granfather does not remember where Francisco came from, and I am interested and curious whether I can trace my roots beyond Francisco Zavala.
I have been reading the forum and I agree that the name Zavala came from Basque country. I see that there are a lot of Zavalas in Mexico and Texas.
I even have met Zavalas from Perú.
I want to know how far the Zavala name went. Not as a quest, but as why the internet exists, to share and exchange information.
If you can help trace our name, I can provide you with additional information and names. It would be a great source for discussion with my grandfather.Thanks!
