Uruguayan –vasque gentleman (Mr. Juan Antonio de Arteaga) ( in grey colour oval photo (13.5 x 9.5 cm. Photo by Fernando Fallace, Santa Fé 2722, Bs.As.) (Circa 1890). Note: according to a handwritten text Mr. Arteaga immigrated into Montevideo from Spain at age 13, during 1810 and died rather old in Uruguay. A grandson (from his daughter) wrote this note in 1927 on the back of the photo. According to an expert in family names, the problem they have with the Arteaga family name is that is rather frequent name, and because of that there are several families in different places of the Vasque country (Spain) with the same heraldic or coat of arms. In total there are more than 20 heraldic coats of arms. Alone in Bizkaia there are more than 20 small villages with the name Arteaga and in Gipuzkoa another similar quantity. Several authors believe that all Arteaga branches come from the “ Casa-torre de Arteaga”, that is placed in a small village near Gernika called “Gautegiz de Arteaga”,
