I am puzzled by VARONIA in the following sentence:
Sigue su descendencia en el capítulo Franco de Paredes, de su varonía.
Google translates the sentence as:
Follow their offspring in Chapter Franco Paredes, his varonía.

varonía = male descendants
Don't trust the machine translation.
Perhaps a better translation would be:
His descendants in the area/chapter Franco de Paredes follow, (only) his male descendants.

varonía = male issue
(it follows descendants having his Y chromosome, not just descendants that happen to be male)

Thanks everyone for helping me on this question. I have completed 15 pages of genealogy with another 30 ahead of me.
Again, GRACIAS
