Talk:Fuentes (surname)

Fuentes, explorer, 1640?
Please note in the history section below the list of villages here ". If the voyage of Fuentes in 1640 is authentic, he was probably the first European to encounter any of the Kwakiutl Indians." Has me curious now, there's no one here by that name. Maybe had a second surname he's listed under?Skookum1 (talk) 16:32, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I remembered re 1640 on where Anian redirects to that "The Spaniard Bartholomew de Fonte claimed to have sailed from Hudson Bay to the Pacific via the strait in 1640." "de Fonte" = Fuentes, I guess.  Fonte is a village northeastern Italy, no connection there.  Bartolomeo de Fonte or Bartolomeo Fuentes perhaps, needs a bio; his voyage is apocryphal....Skookum1 (talk) 16:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
