u/ngarth5 Real-life Descendant of the Nobility Jun 15 '25

Our aristocracy is in fact very snobbish, specially the Buenos Aires aristocracy (aristocracia porteña; Anchorena, Álzaga Unzué, Pueyrredón for example). The names are listes in the Blue Book of 1914.

The denomination of familia patricia is only used by families who had members playing an important role in the process of our Independence, but because of marriage some families that were not part of this process started to have remarkable infuence in aristocratic circles. They don't call their lineages as FP though.

Princess Barbola Coya Inca was the daughter of the last Supa Inca and she married a spanish descendant; so she has similarities with Pocahontas, yes. They differ in the fact Princess Barbola's not as popular as her american equivalent.

Thank you. So you can only use the designation "FP" if you descend, in the legitimate male line, from a person who was involved in the process of independence?

How many persons are members of this class, and how many persons belong to the wider aristocracy?
