This is a link to a pretty good genealogy resource, that has piqued my interest:

All the best

PS I still want to contact more rellies.

Yes, it's an interesting link but gives no information about my ancestor. Thank you anyway.

I know there is a branch of this family in Chile, South America. My great great grandmother was Vitalia Penros Bravo (in Chile we use both father and mother surname). Apparently her ancestor was Fernando Penros (names are traditionally translated to Spanish so his name was probably Ferdinand or Fernand), born in "Bretana" (Spanish word for Britain or Brittany, I'm not sure which of the two) in 1672; arrived to Chile more less in 1719. Established in the city of Chillán, where he died on October 2nd, 1754. Married María Garrido, and had issue:

- José Antonio, born in Chillán, married at the Parish of San Isidro, Santiago, to Beatriz Hidalgo, daughter of Lorenzo Hidalgo and Rosa de Orozco, with issue.
- María Josefa, born in Chillán and married there in 1745 to Rafael Hermosilla, with issue.
