My notes have him as Carlos’ brother. He is also the ancestor of one of miguel Hidalgos lines. Miguel Hidalgo Costilla descends from both brothers. The Lomelin’s from Puebla and Mexico City descend from Luis. Back then the records show lomelin. Before that it is Lomellini or lomelini. It wasn’t until later that people started dropping the n. In Portugal the lomelin line added an o to make Lomelino. And the stories are true about one branch leaving Genoa , going to Spain and cornering the slave trade there. There rest of the family was into more legitimate businesses.
There is a famous book that uses the Lomelini as the main characters in the book. I have own a copy of the book but I lent it to my niece and she hasn’t returned it yet. I have not read it because she was visiting when it arrived and immediately asked to borrow it.
