Cordero Family History and Genealogy Santa Barbara, California |

|
Welcome to the Cordero Family History and Genealogy website! This website is dedicated to the memory of Mariano Cordero, the progenitor of many Cordero families in California and of Santa Barbara in particular. Mariano was soldado de cuera, a leather-jacket soldier, and the first Cordero born in California. He traveled from his place of birth in Loreto, Baja, California to San Francisco and eventually settled in Santa Barbara. In addition, this website was created for the purpose of sharing the information I have gathered over the years and for the purpose of preserving the Cordero family legacy. The Corderos were one of the first pioneer families of European descent in California and helped found the city and county of Santa Barbara. To that end, this website contributes to the rich history not only of Santa Barbara but of California as well. Updates I have much more information to add for the early Cordero families and more specific information on my direct lineage. I will give notification of updates at this location. Please enjoy your visit and return for updates.

After a few years of infrequently collecting information and of filling in the gaps in our genealogy, I have finally posted the genealogy from approximately 1700 for most lines to my grandfather, Anthony Cordero Sr. A genealogy for my nana, Venita Angela Gomez, is also here. Also included is a page for miscellaneous Cordero genealogies. William Cordero II has traced the travels of Mariano Cordero in an article that he wrote for Somos Primos (Historia de la Familia Cordero: Baja to Alta California). The article is reproduced here with some additional information and minor modifications. Mariano's family and descendants can be found in the genealogy pages. At present, two ranchos are featured in this section: Rancho Las Cruces, granted to Mariano's son, Miguel Cordero, and Rancho Las Virgenes, granted to Miguel Bartolome Ortega, a Nahua from Aljojuca, Puebla, Mexico who married a Chumash woman from Santa Cruz Island. Information on other ranchos will be added as research progresses. Several adobes in the Santa Barbara area have been built by Cordero family, including the adobe at Rancho Las Cruces. Two full-blooded women were ancestors of Anthony Cordero Sr.: Juana Maria from Santa Barbara and Maria Rosa from Santa Cruz Island. A new page for information and images related to all things Cordero. Included in this page will be Cordero military service, Cordero headstones in cemeteries, and everything else. Listings of and links to the various online genealogical and and historical sources that I use most frequently, including links to image archives and articles. Contact THANKS!
