This month a group of the Argentine branch of the Urruty family, originally from Zuberoa, will travel to Euskal Herria to reunite with family members there. The last name goes back to 1740, when their grandfather immigrated to Argentina from Mitikile-Larrori-Mendibile, in Zuberoa. The family has been working for several years to reconstruct its family tree, with the help of the Euskal Argentina Association, and has been able to unite descendants on both sides of the Atlantic.
