The root of this lineage is found in Navarra, in the very ancient and illustrious House of Tascón o Tascaón, situated in the sierra Sisa, at the Merindad of San Juan at the foot of the Port. It is interesting to point out that one of the regions of Spain where this linage is most extensive was in Andalucia and that is due to the fact that Don Pedro Chacón, accompanied the Holy King, Don Fernando, in the campaigns that they conducted in the conquest of Seville, where the Monarch Don Fernando was very well compensated with regards the distribution of lands that was made among those of Noble birth who had given of their valiant help for the conquest of the City. It is from this that the Chacón branch of Andalucia is so extended. Arms: Quarters of the Coat of Arms, 1st and 4th; silver, with a grey walking wolf. The 2nd and 3rd; blue with a smooth gold leaf.

These are the aristocratic roots of our family tree.

Read Awareness Programs for an understanding of our other roots; the Moorish, Arabic, Jewish, Visgoeth, and Indo-Hispanic roots, etc. The Mexican American and most of the Spanish-speaking people of this hemisphere represent, perhaps, the most integrated identifiable group in existence. We range all the way from pale-pink blue-eyed blondes, through bronze browns, to ebony black.

Chacón

El tronco de este linaje se encuentra en Navarra, en la muy antiqua e ilustre Casa de Tascón o Tascaón, sita en la sierra de Sisa, en la Merindad de San Juan de pie de Puerto. Es curioso señalar que una de las regiones de España donde mas se extendió este liñaje fue en Andalucia y ello se debe a que Don Pedro Chacón, acompaño al Rey Santo, Don Fernando, en las campañas que condujeron a la conquista de Sevilla, donde quedó muy bien recompensado en el repartimiento de tierras que el citado monarca hizo entre aquellos nobles que le habian prestado su valiosa ayuda para la conquista de la Ciudad. De ahi, que la rama andaluza de Chacón sea extensa. Armas: Escudo cuartelado: 1 y 4; de plata, un lobo pasante, de sable. 2 y 3, de azur, una flor de lis de oro.
