This ledger identifies the pages currently driving the first publishing wave of the portal. It distinguishes core family-domain hubs, person/profile sources, external corroboration, bibliography and context leads, and editorial standards. The goal is not to overwhelm the reader with every URL on day one; it is to make the strongest material easy to audit and easy to reuse across entity pages, family hubs, timelines, and place pages.
A good source ledger does two jobs at once: it tells you where the portal's material comes from, and it tells you what each source is actually good for.
Core family-domain hubs are best for broad framing. Profile pages are best for dates, relationships, and specific institutional links. Bibliography and context pages are best for expanding the reading horizon. Editorial standards documents are not evidence about the families themselves; they govern how the portal packages and labels what it publishes.
As the site grows, new pages should cite source codes or at least mirror the same logic in their source-basis sections so readers can quickly tell whether a claim is coming from a family-domain narrative, a specific profile page, or a contextual reading lead.
These pages supply the broad narrative architecture for the first ten authority pages.
| Code | Source | Type | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| HH01 | House of Herrera — Home | Family-domain hub | Overall site framing and section structure. |
| HH02 | House of Herrera — About | Family-domain hub | 14th-century prominence narrative, geography, and the Caracas / Banco Caracas passage. |
| HH03 | House of Herrera — Dynasty | Lineage source | Ordered sequence of Herrera figures and dates. |
| HH05 | House of Herrera — Family Estates | Place source | Hacienda de La Vega, Castle Santa Barbara, and other estate notes. |
| BV02 | Banvelca — About | Family-domain hub | 1781 Naples origin story and modern cross-continental framing. |
| BV03 | Banvelca — Legacy | Chronology source | Generational sequence from Juan Bautista to later generations. |
| BV04 | Banvelca — Private Banking | Theme source | Family-only private-banking and trust-coordination language. |
| BV05 | Banvelca — Finance | Theme source | Finance as multi-generational custodianship. |
These sources are where the portal finds marriage links, generation shifts, and person-specific dates that matter for entity pages and timeline work.
| Code | Source | Type | How the portal uses it |
|---|---|---|---|
| HH08 | Pedro García de Herrera y Rojas | Short person profile | Used on the Pedro entity page and Herrera family notes. |
| HH09 | José Herrera Von Uslar Gleichen | Short person profile | Used for the Caracas-connection narrative and family-connection work. |
| HH10 | Hernán de Herrera, Lord of Ampudia I | Short person profile | Used for the earliest named Herrera anchor and Ampudia title frame. |
| HH11 | Agustín de Herrera y Rojas Ayala | Person profile | Used for the early-modern Lanzarote cluster, Crown-service language, and the source-domain 1548 / life-frame caution now checked against archival entries. |
| HH12 | Diego García de Herrera y Ayala | Person profile | Used for the Canary Islands bridge, c. 1417–1485 frame, and early Herrera sequence expansion. |
| HH13 | Juan Sarmiento De Herrera Y Fernandez Pachego | Person profile | Used for the 1607–1664 sequence anchor, La Vega / Montalban estate language, and spelling-variant caution. |
| BV09 | Juan Bautista Velutini | Founder profile | Used for Naples, France, and Corsica origin details. |
| BV10 | Clementina Velutini Pérez-Matos | Profile page | Used for the 1932 marriage bridge and women-in-banking narrative. |
| BV11 | Belén Clarisa Velutini Pérez-Matos | Profile page | Used for Banco Caracas, Trasnocho Cultural, and philanthropy. |
| BV12 | Belén María Providencia Pérez Matos | Profile page | Used for the matriarchal link between Pérez-Matos, Velutini, and Herrera. |
| BV13 | Vicente José Velutini Llarione | Profile page | Used for the Mediterranean-to-Americas bridge. |
| BV14 | José Antonio Velutini Ron | Profile page | Used for the statecraft and fiscal-negotiation bridge. |
| BV15 | Julio César Velutini Couturier | Profile page | Used for Banco Caracas and the 1988 share-sale statement inside the later 1988 / 1998 / 2000 / 2002 audit. |
| BV16 | The Seventh Generation | Generation profile | Used for the 1998 transition language and modern reinvention framing. |
| BV17 | Julio José Herrera Velutini | Profile page | Used for the post-war modern continuity narrative. |
These notes are the portal's guardrails. They tell editors and readers where the public source record is useful but not yet tidy enough for overconfident phrasing.
| Topic | Source tension | Portal rule |
|---|---|---|
| Agustín / Lanzarote title chronology | The Agustín profile uses 1548 and 1567 title language beside a 1569–1632 life frame. Archival Teguise entries separately support a 1567 count title, a 1569 corroboration, and a marquis grant with data crónica of May 1, 1584. | Use 1567 and 1584 as externally corroborated title markers, but keep 1548 and the family-domain life frame flagged as unresolved rather than folding them into one settled sequence. |
| Banco Caracas later transition | Banvelca uses 1988 in the Julio César profile and 1998 in the Legacy / Seventh Generation material; public transaction records add a 2000 acquisition agreement and a 2002 merger into Banco de Venezuela. | Use "later sale / transition" where a single exact date is unnecessary, and distinguish share-exit, family-transition, acquisition-agreement, and merger-completion stages when year-level detail matters. |
These sources do not replace the family-domain record. They provide independent place, archival, and institutional context so the portal can distinguish family narrative from city, island, title-history, and transaction-history background.
Policy: official archival, regulatory, municipal, and institutional sources may corroborate chronology, transactions, and place history; tertiary heritage or tourism references remain limited to contextual geography; bibliography leads stay metadata-only until directly reviewed. External sources do not create new family-specific claims by themselves.
| Code | Source | Role | How the portal uses it |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXT02 | Britannica — Caracas | City reference | Used only for Caracas city-level context, including its capital role and Santiago de León de Caracas founding frame. |
| EXT03 | UNESCO — Historic Centre of Naples | Heritage reference | Used for Naples as a long-duration Mediterranean city context around the Velutini origin geography. |
| EXT04 | UNESCO MAB — Lanzarote | Island reference | Used for Lanzarote's volcanic Canary-Islands setting and biosphere-reserve geography. |
| EXT05 | Castilla y León Tourism — Castle of Ampudia | Local place reference | Used for the Castle of Ampudia as external place corroboration around the early Herrera anchor. |
| EXT06 | UNESCO — Paris, Banks of the Seine | Urban heritage reference | Used for Paris as broad city context; family-specific Paris claims still come from Banvelca pages. |
| EXT07 | Stadt Uslar — Stadtgeschichte | Municipal reference | Used for Uslar's official town-history frame and first documentary mention. |
| EXT08 | UNESCO Global Geopark Thüringen Inselsberg - Drei Gleichen | Landscape reference | Used for the wider Drei Gleichen landscape and place-memory setting. |
| EXT09 | Erfurt Tourismus — Gleichen Castle | Castle reference | Used for the Gleichen Castle page and the three-castle grouping of Gleichen Castle, Mühlburg Castle, and Wachsenburg Castle. |
| EXT10 | Archivo Histórico Municipal de Teguise — Título de Conde de Lanzarote para Agustín de Herrera y Rojas | Archival title reference | Used as official corroboration for the 1567 Count of Lanzarote title grant to Agustín de Herrera y Rojas. |
| EXT11 | Archivo Histórico Municipal de Teguise — Corroboración del título de Conde de Lanzarote | Archival title reference | Used as official corroboration for the 1569 confirmation step in the Count of Lanzarote title record. |
| EXT12 | Archivo Histórico Municipal de Teguise — Concesión del título de Marqués de Lanzarote a Agustín de Herrera y Rojas | Archival title reference | Used as official corroboration for the Marqués de Lanzarote grant to Agustín, with data crónica of May 1, 1584. |
| EXT13 | Banco Santander Form 20-F via SEC | Regulatory filing | Used as external corroboration that Banco de Venezuela and Banco Caracas merged into the new Banco de Venezuela on August 17, 2002. |
The source domains already surface a few reading leads that can support better long-form pages over time. This pass closes the mapping work by turning them into exact review-queue items with named claim clusters, but not yet into adopted claim-level authorities.
| Code | Work | Metadata now recorded | Portal status |
|---|---|---|---|
| BIB01 | Los amos del valle | Francisco J. Herrera Luque; Pomaire, 1979. The Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México also records a later Monte Ávila edition. | Mapped review queue: Caracas, Hacienda de La Vega, and Herrera Family. Preview-level cues suggest Caracas Valley social memory, Herrera-linked valley context, and estate-setting language; claim-level support still requires direct reading. |
| BIB02 | Don Agustín de Herrera y Rojas, I Marqués de Lanzarote | Manuel Lobo Cabrera and Fernando Bruquetas de Castro; 1995; Cabildo Insular de Fuerteventura and Cabildo Insular de Lanzarote; ISBN 84-87461-37-9. | Mapped review queue: Agustín de Herrera, Lanzarote, and Orders and Distinctions. Description-level cues point to biography, Lanzarote governance/conflict, and title interpretation, but archival title records remain primary until the book is directly read. |
| BIB03 | La Vega: A Colonial Casa | Federico Vegas; photographs by Gonzalo Galavis; E. Armitano Editor, 1988; ISBN 9802160385 / 9789802160389. | Mapped review queue: Hacienda de La Vega, Caracas, and Estates. Preview-level cues suggest estate architecture, site layout, and Caracas Valley domestic-landscape context; claim-level support remains pending direct reading. |
This review wave is complete as a mapping task: each bibliography item now has exact target pages and claim clusters. That still does not mean the works have already been used as direct factual authority on those pages.
These documents do not provide family-history facts. They define the publishing standards used to make the site original, understandable, and easier to trust.
| Code | Standard | Role | Applied to |
|---|---|---|---|
| G01 | Helpful, reliable, people-first content | Editorial benchmark | Originality, sourcing, about pages, and trust signals. |
| G02 | Article structured data | Technical benchmark | Visible dates and article markup discipline. |
| G03 | ProfilePage structured data | Technical benchmark | Organization and person profile-page patterns. |
| G04 | Intro to structured data | Technical benchmark | Overall schema implementation discipline. |
The portal already has enough raw material to launch strong overview pages, but the next stage of authority will come from expanding the source base rather than multiplying thin pages.
The first institutional place-source pass is in place, and the chronology-risk pages now have initial archival and regulatory hardening. The next credibility gain is direct review of the remaining unresolved residue: the 1548 Agustín reference, the family-domain life frame, and the Banco Caracas family-transition layers.
The review queue is now mapped to exact claim clusters. The next step is direct full-text reading so these works can graduate from metadata and preview cues to annotated, claim-level support.
As genealogy pages expand, the ledger should track preferred spellings, variant spellings, and date uncertainty so the site remains internally consistent.
This page is itself a secondary organizing layer. It exists to make the strongest raw material legible and reusable across the portal.
