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 in Santa Barbara in particular. Mariano was a soldado de cuera, a leather-jacket soldier, and the first Cordero born in California.
In
addition, this website was created 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.
