Guillaume Apheça (1828-1919) was from Domezain-Berraute (Soule) and worked as an emigration agent for the Bordeaux Colson Agency between 1856 and 1913.
The information in the list of people searched for (surname and first names, name of the ship or the town of origin) are sometimes written in different ways. When the Euskal Argentina Association retranscribed the registers of Guillaume Apheça it respected the spelling of words used by the agent. Different ways of spelling words or the particularities of his style of writing must therefore be taken into consideration when searching.
"The Basques' Argentina" exhibition describes and explains Basque emigration to Argentina in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially emigration from the Northern Basque.
