Background information on the Mirelez names

I have done informal research on the surname Mirelez over the years. I believe it to be a New World spelling of Mireles, which is the only way I have seen it spelled in records preceding the 1700s. I have found the Mirelez spelling in Texas, Northern Mexico, and Peru. The majority of records I found with the Mireles spelling, I traced back to Valladodid, Spain, circa 1600. The oldest record I found dated to 1519 and was from the Canary Islands. (written by Linda Mirelez)
