Guia de Valparaiso, 1858

 

Source: Harvard.

From Harvard's Latin American Pamphlet Digital Collection, above is the cover of an 1858 guide to Valparaiso and Santiago. The document includes a listing of the commercial operators in the city in 1857. Below is a screen capture of the page showing the section for "V". I do not know yet if these Vazquez names were family members of Gabriel Vasquez. I'd like to think this might be a lead.

Guia de Valparaiso, 1858.

I do not know if Gabriel made multiple voyages between Guaymas, Sonora and Valparaiso before settling in Mexico about 1858. I have another inquiry with the National Archives in Chile to see if there are commercial or other records mentioning Gabriel, his father Jose Vasquez, or mother Agustina Rojas.

There's a lot I do not know about this branch of the family. Based on DNA, it seems at least one corner of this family was in Chile, or the Andes, for a long time.
