This is the history of the Mendez name as it has been researched from the old country.
The belief in the biblical account of creation, a literal six day period of time during which God created the universe and mankind. From the origins of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel to Noah. The telling by which these accounts if true or if you believe in creation or not, it simply doesn’t change what the old country passed down from generation to generation.
During the time of Noah there was great evil in man which they turned from God and became so wicked that God destroyed the entire surface of the Earth with the exception of Noah and his family. So, all mankind are descendants of Noah after the Great Flood event.
Man again disobeyed God’s commandment to spread out across the entire Earth and multiply, but instead, gathered in one spot, the plains of Shinar (Mesopotamia). Historians today acknowledge Mesopotamia (now called Iraq) as the Cradle of Civilization.
The biblical story of the tower of Babel when God finally intervened to enforce His command, and He scattered them This is the origin of people gathering into groups by ethnicities, tribes, races and languages.
Take a hard research study on the people of China and Eastern Asia, you will find various waves of people moving from West to East. Likewise, a hard study of Europe is various groups of people moving from East to West. Africa is also the migration of people moving from North-East to West and/or South. It doesn’t take a PhD to see that the origin of all of these migrations is Mesopotamia. So then, the story of the Mendez name is directly tied to these people and groups from which we the name sprang.
We are Goths, more properly Visigoths. And I will take up the story of the Goths, intertwined with the overall story of Europe next.
The origins of the Germanic tribes are hotly disputed. I have done extensive research and reading, trying to track down the root of these tribes. There are theories which point to the Scandinavian countries in Europe, which just seem implausible to me, since mankind did not spring from this area. It is more probable that when the Goths were traveling through Northern Europe, that bands of them split off from the main body, and settled in what is now the Scandinavian countries.
Culturally, there are ties between the Germanic tribes and the Norse peoples which can be accounted for if they split from common ancestors. With a starting point in the Word of God, all peoples are descendants of Adam through Noah.
After Babel, some people moved North and West into Asia and across the Bering strait into the Americas. Later in History, more groups of people were driven out of the middle and near east, going North across the Caucus mountains and onto the Russian Steppes. On ancient Roman maps, there are Germanic tribes placed in this vast “sea of grass” which are the steppes. Many ancient European and Asian tribes claim that they are originally from the “sea of grass.”
The West Goths, division of the Goths, one of the most important groups of Germans. The Goth originally entered Europe through the Northern parts of Russia, Through Poland, and into Germany, then continued moving to the South-Est. Around the third century AD they settled in the region West of the Black Sea. The Goths soon split into two divisions, the Ostrogoths and the Visigoths. By the fourth century the Visigoths were at the borders of the East Roman Empire, raiding across the Danube River, and peacefully infiltrating the trans-Danuban provinces. Constantin
