TORREGROSSA. (Village in the
Lerida province, Spain)
Another branch starts in Torregrossa, by Joan
Theas (unknown origin) and Elena Gili from Alcarras.
This couple of tailors came to Torregrossa nearly 1703, with a daughter.
First births and deceases get registered as 'Teas',
'Theas' or 'Théas'; it's not unusual, considering that 'h' is a mute
letter, and punctuation is not always respected.
First registers of the name 'Theas' appear between 1819 and 1830. This one
gets more and more common, and remains as the only version after 1850.
In this way, 'Tehas' was created as an orthographic
variant from 'Theas', starting in Torregrossa, and expanding after to the
Lleida and Barcelona provinces.
