Why we do it

Passing on what we received.

Our mission is that knowledge of the lineage and its land should not depend on the memory of a few, but be ordered, accessible and well kept.

Rigour, respect and openness.

We work honestly with the sources, respect the privacy of living people and stay open to anyone who wishes to contribute documents, memories or corrections.

A shared undertaking.

The foundation relies on family members, people of Las Merindades and researchers. Every contribution, however small, widens what we know.
