San Juan Capistrano Kaliforniako hiri bat da, eta XVII. mendearen amaieran sortutako misio batean du jatorria, Ipar Amerikako zati hori Espainiako Erresumako kolonien parte zenean. Gaur egun, 35.000 biztanle baino gehiago dituen hiri hau The Orange Country taldekoa da, eta dagoeneko hitz egin dugu horretaz.
Jan Siegelek The Capistrano Dispatch egunkarian San Juan Capistrano Historical Societyk han jarri ziren euskal familien erregistroak, deskribapenak eta istorioak biltzen dituen liburuxka argitaratu duela biltzeko Konderrira itzuli gara.
Datu-bilketa hori 1994an egin zuen Jean Lacouaguek, 1910ean mundu horretara iritsi zen euskaldun baten semea. Lana ezin izan zen amaitu, baina Kaliforniako hiri honetan euskaldunek utzi duten herentziaren omenez argitaratzen da. Bide batez, euskaldun honen biografia artikuluan irakurriz, euskaldunek beren migrazioetan berekin eraman zuten printzipio horri modu eredugarrian jarraitu ziola konturatu daiteke bat, eta era berean, Franco diktadorearengandik ihesi Agirre Lehendakariak Amerikan babestu behar izan ziren euskaldunei gogoratu ziena: «Hartzen zaituzteten lurraldean, herritar guztien artean, onenak izan».
Oraindik ez dugu Euskaldunen Historiaren zati hau duen liburuxka, baina 5 USDren prezioan eska dakioke Historical Societyri.
Bide batez, egunkari bereko beste artikulu bat jaso nahi dugu. Oraingo honetan, Rhonda DeHaanek egina da, 2019ko urtarrilean argitaratua, eta AEBetako euskaldunen historiaz hitz egiten du.
Los Angeles Times-eko Brad Bonhall-ek 1994an Jean Lacouaguek egindako lanaren berri ematen zuen artikulu bat ere sartzen dugu.

Moments in Time: Basque Families Contributed to History
The year of 1910 is best remembered as the year that Fr. St. John O’Sullivan arrived in San Juan Capistrano and started restoring the Mission. But another person who would also have an enormous effect on our community also stepped off a train in San Juan Capistrano that year. He was Basque farmer Pierre Lacouague. One hundred and ten years later, the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society is honored to recognize the contributions the Basque community has made to our history.

Moments in Time: Basque Families Contributed to History
Perhaps the oldest and most distinctive European civilization, the Basques come from a rugged region along the border between Spain and France. While they never had their own country, the Basques have a unique culture and language. Having left political turmoil in Europe, many Basques settled in Latin America, where they honed their skills in ranching and herding.
