Hi, I am a Bustamante decesdent. Although I am not to familiar with my family members, I do know that the surname Bustamante is from spain.I also know that there is a code of arms for us. I also know that there is a good possibility that there are lands that were taken away from our ancestors. I am sorry i don't have much info. But I have just started my research. If I find anything, I will let you know. summer.

My daughter's father's name is Quiroz. I did some research to find that there is a people (in Ecuador)who still live in thatch roofed houses. This tribe is called the Quiro tribe. I think that may from where his name derives.
