Abstract
This paper analyses the trajectory of Andres de Losada Sotomayor and his role as agent on the process of transferring the monetary wealth bequeathed by Galician (Spain) origins migrants to their parishes of birth. The notarial documentation produced in order to gave legal support to these monetary transfers reveals a network interaction between Galician-born merchants which otherwise would be very difficult to trace. In this regard, mercantile and family networks arose as a main vector in order to articulate this apparently secondary transfers, but crucial from the inheritors point of view and their rural context
