In Case You Didn't Know (ICYDK) #2

295 years ago this week, on October 15, 1730, two sisters joined their hands with their loved ones while in Cuautitlán. Was it a double wedding? That's our theory.

Juana Curbelo married Franciso Joseph de Arocha and her sister, Maria Ana Curbelo, married Vicente Álvarez Travieso.

A picture of the church, now a cathedral, is show below--San Buenaventura.

A copy of their original marriage record can be seen here;https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-QBHQ-H?i=327

ICYDK is produced by the Education Committee.

Bravo to all the rural women today!!!!! 🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨

👩‍🌾 Hoy celebramos el Día Internacional de las Mujeres Rurales.

🤝 Conmemoramos la fuerza, el trabajo y la sabiduría de las mujeres lanzaroteñas que han contribuido enormemente al avance de nuestra sociedad.

🚜 Desde el Cabildo insular agradecemos el compromiso de todas ellas por nuestro sector primario, por seguir fortaleciéndolo y luchando por la sostenibilidad e igualdad.
