Vergara family
The Vergara or Vergara-Azcárate family is a Hispanic noble lineage that traces its origins to the medieval kingdoms of Navarre and Castile and established an influential branch in the New Kingdom of Granada (present-day Colombia) in the 17th century. The family is spread across several branches in Spain, Colombia, Chile and the US. The Vergara family is considered as one of the first families of Spaniards in the Americas that arrived first as conquistadors, then as royal officers of the Spanish crown.
