+==Background==
+*Before 1775, most of the emigrants from Spain came from the regions of '''Castilla, Andalucía, or Extremadura'''. '''The people from Cataluña, Aragón, Galicia, and Vascongadas were excluded from the Americas by the Court of the Indies (Consejo de Indias).'''
+*After 1775, Carlos III of Spain gave permission to all Spaniards to colonize any part of Spanish America.
 === The Mid-1800s  ===
+*During the early period, most Spanish emigrants left through the '''ports of Seville, Cádiz, San Lucar de Barrameda, and Málaga in southern Spain'''.
-Ship arrivals and passenger lists provide the best documentation of immigrants who came to South America after the middle of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. These records are housed in the national archives of each of the countries in South America. (For information about archives, see [[Peru Archives and Libraries]].)
+*Later the ports of '''San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santander, and La Coruña in northern Spain''' were added as departure cities not only for Spaniards but also for other Europeans. These emigrants most always traveled first to Islas Canarias (the Canary Islands), where they resided for a short time, before continuing travel to the Americas.
+*Emigration to America slowed drastically between 1790–1825 due to '''wars of independence in the Latin American colonies'''.
-Other important sources of information for your immigrant ancestors are the emigration records that may exist from the departure port city.
+*Beginning in 1840, an increased number of people immigrated to Latin America seeking religious, economical, or political freedom. The first major group of immigrants were Chinese laborers who came between 1850–1875 to work on the guano deposits of the Chincha Islands and on the railroads.

Currently these records are housed in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville.
-The records of departures from these ports are called passenger lists. The information contained in these lists varies over time but usually includes the emigrant’s name, age, occupation, and destination. The lists may also include the names of other family members, and the emigrant’s last town of residence or birthplace.
