The Pichel-Juan family

Our family has a very European feel to it, with roots in Spain, Great Britain, France and Luxembourg. We have only just started researching our background, sifting through folkloric family stories of actors and circus performers and, before that, descent from the Counts of Requena.
This last century has seen members of the family working and travelling thoughout the Russias (pre-revolution), South America and in Europe.
We would gratefully receive any thread of news relating to the names Juan, Pichel, or Pichel-Juan.
