`On an Institut Geographique National Carte de France map, I found the Bois Antxola about slightly west and 9.5 Km. south of Ahaze-Alciette-Bascassan near the Spanish border. About 500 meters NE is a house named Antxola. This might be the source of the Ansolabehere family. The family tends to be tall which is in keeping with the high areas having tall people.`

`I found an Agnes Ansolabehere born in 1841 to Gratian Ansolabehere (nee'April 22,1804) & Marie Antonenea (1800). I checked records in St. Etienne de Baigory finding no listings prior to 1800. The Ansolabehere's came from somewhere else. Agnes may be a brother to Gratian.`

`My father was known as JP Ansolabehere from Banca, France. The house name was Expil. His given name is Jean in french (excuse spelling) and Manish in basque. He came to Bakersfield, CA between 1918 to 1928 to work as a sheepherder for his three uncles. Their origin as far back as I know is Bordaberri. His father was named Bernard.`

I did not find an Agnes born on Oct.10,1803. I did find an Agnes born on April l4,1841. She was the daughter of Gratian Ansolabehere born on April 22,1803 at the house Bordeberry in St. Etienne de Baigorry. Banca is a suburb of St. Etienne de Baigorry. My father, Gratian Ansolabehere, was born at the house Bertchinanto in Banca. The name Agnes shows up only the one time in about 1,000 names I have found that descended from Gratian born April 22,1803. His parents were Jean(ca. 1779) & Marie Iriart.The family Ansolabehere used most of the same names. Jean, Pierre, Bernard, Gratian,Martin, Michel, Marie, Jeanne, Grace, etc. show up many times. Does anyone have record of Ansolabehere births prior to 1800 ? The earliest house I have a record is Bordeberry in St. Etienne de Baigorry.

Hi ! i'm a frenchman living in southwest of France, near Spain, and with basque origin among which i could find "Ansolabehere". If it can help, The most recent "Ansolabehere" in my family tree is AGNES ANSOLABEHERE, born on october 10, 1803 in Banca (formerly called La Fonderie) that is a few kilometers far from St Etienne de Ba�gorry. She got married in Anhaux on June 23, 1830 with Martin ETCHEMENDY from Valcarlos, Spain. I found 3 brothers of her (born in Anhaux): Jean (born Nov 8, 1807), Bernard (Nov 21, 1809) and Pierre (March 19, 1812). Her parents were Jean ( or Joannes) ANSOLABEHERE and Marie CUBIAT, formerly from "La Fonderie" but dead on May 5 1848 and July 7, 1853 in Anhaux, but i don't have their birth and marriage. If you have got any information about this name or this part of the tree, let me know. regards Serge P�laez Casariego

I found birth records at ST.Etienne de Baigory, France that had Ansolabehere births to the early 1800's. I have traced about 1,000 persons , including me, descended from this man. His father was born about 1779 but did not show up in the 1700 records. Steve Ansolabehere, a professor at MIT, co-authored Going Negative. Joe Ansolabehere in partnership with Paul Germain created Rug Rats, Recess, LLoyd in Space , etc. Martin Ansolabehere is the artist that created Dexter.

Ansolabehere name is in birth records in St. Etienne de Baigory, France. The earliest birth record is 1804 making the father born about 1779. I have created a family tree with nearly 1,000 descendants of this man. I have found a substantial family in Argentina that places their ancestor as being from St. Etienne de Baigory. There are Ansolabehere named people in Minneopolis, in many cities in California with most being around Bakersfield Idaho ( Anxo ).

`I noticed the surname Ansolabehere in the cartoon credits for Dexter's Lab, etc, and was curious about its origins... I am surprised it is Basque... Because, by a curious coincidence, Ansolabehere is perfectly good Amharic (Ethiopian) for "National Shroud"...!`
